GREEN JELL TOMATO 
(68 Days) 
Unlike ordinary tomato strains this tomato ripens red on 
the outside yet having green jell in the seed cavities. Flavor 
is very tart and much different from the ordinary. Small 
globular fruits, uniform size of about 1% inches in diameter, 
a very prolific bearer. Bushy determinate vine growth, have 
purple fiberous roots along the stalks just above ground. 
This unusual strain is one of the few that resists frost, which 
will kill ordinary types. It is able to withstand 30° F for a 
limited period.

THICK SEPAL 
Tomato (72 Days) 
A strange tomato from Hawaii of very complex an- 
cestry, believed to be the common tomato X two wild 
currant varieties — Lycopersicon Hirsutum and L. Pim- 
pinellifolium. Determinate bushy vine growth of ex- 
treme vigor and resistance to disease. Two very peculiar 
characteristics are the very large, thick sepals as noted 
on one of the fruits in the photo. The fruits are not 
attached but just laid near the base of the stems. Sepals 
are segments of the outer covering of the flower known 
as the calyx, the only remaining part after fruit sets. . 
Stems of the plant are covered with long hairy white | 
roots, which becomes very aggrevated in soil with plenty #m 
of moisture. The latter characteristic gives extreme re- 
sistance to heat and drouth, as fiberous roots contact the 
soil, the root area is increased. Small flattened red fruits about 2 to 3 inches in diameter, 
mild flavor and practically keep indefinitely after ripe.
