colored about the stem end; flesh firm and of fine quality. 75 days.

cultural Experiment Station. Canners in some areas are finding 
it well adapted to their specific uses because of its fleshy, well- 
colored fruit and high yield. Fruit large, flattened globe, scarlet- 
red, seems to be free from cracking, fleshy, firm and of good flavor. 
75 days. Vines vigorous, open and spreading but with fairly dense 
foliage. A good producer.

Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. It is globe-shaped, quite 
large, with flesh firm, red, and very solid. Ripening begins at the 
center, insuring good color throughout. Fills all requirements.

Jubilee. A superb new orange Tomato with perfectly smooth, round 
fruit weighing about 6 ounces each. Juicy, with few seeds and of a 
delightful sub-acid flavor. 72 days. (Seed scarce.)

firm white flesh has no trace of red; the flavor ts all that can be de- 
sired. (Seed scarce.)

of the bearing season. The leaves and 
stems have shown ability to resist and 
survive late blight. Vines medium large, 
very productive. Fruit oblate, scarlet-red, 
firm and of fine quality. 84 days.
