THESSALONIKI (68 Days) 
Fruit in Color on Back Cover 
A wonderful new strain recently develop- 
ed at the Ministry of Agriculture Ex peri- 
ment Farm in Greece. A cross of early 
Thessaloniki and late Thessaloniki. Mid- 
season in maturity. Vine growth indeter- 
minate heavy, with dense foliage. Plant 
health throughout the season is very good, 
carrying considerable resistance to fungus 
diseases. Most amazing is its characteristic 
of producing practically all uniform size, 
deep globular fruits about the size of a 
baseball. Very beautiful, smooth, with per- 
fect blossom ends. Small and rough-shaped 
fruits are a rarity. Skin is very tough, high- 
ly resistant to cracking. Ripens to a beau- 
tiful scarlet color, uniformly over the en- 
tire fruit. Its solid fleshy interior is mildly 
flavored and fruits keep very well afte: 
ripening. Adapted for staking and we value 
it a very important market or home gar- 
den strain. Reports of trials with Thes- 
saloniki say “nothing more could be asked 
for in tomatoes.”

MANASOTA (68 Days) 
A recent development at The Vegetable 
Crops Laboratory, Bradenton, Fla. Highly 
resistant to wilt. Ripens generous early 
fruit clusters. Uniformly globular, smooth 
fruits average medium in size, firm, ripen- 
ing to a dark red color. Vines very spraw- 
ling and extended, having a peculiar tend- 
ency of increasing foliage after vines reach 
maxium spread. Manasota is a very im- 
portant shipping strain in Florida and 
southern Texas.

PUCK (68 Days) 
An extremely dwarf English variety. Low 
growing, stubby plants with ridged, wide 
dark green leaves. Maturity mid-season. 
Small globular fruits seldom attain a size 
more than 1% inches in diameter, grouped 
mainly up the main stem almost completely 
hidden. The mass of clusters is very tight 
together, similar to grapes. Light red fruits 
are very solid, mild in flavor and keep long 
after ripe. Puck possesses a notable char- 
acteristic of being able to set fruit in very cool temperatures. 
Pkt. (about 600 seeds) 25c; 
LONGRED (68 Days) 
(Background 1’ Squares) 
4 oz. ec 
An important main crop type for market 
growers and canners, developed at the New 
York Agricultural Experiment Station. 
Fruits are exceptionally smooth, almost 
perfectly round, deep globular, medium to 
large in size. . Mid-season in maturity, 
ripening an early cluster and extending 
its harvest over a long period. We know 
of no other variety giving so much satis- 
faction and that good firm feel in picking. 
The perfect roundness, free of cracks and 
blemishes, fine red color and resistance to 
sunburn make it an outstanding variety. 
Longred shows exceptional resistance to 
anthracnose. Vine growth is vigorous and 
sprawling, becoming semi-open at ripening 
time. The dark green leaves are very thick 
and rigid.

QUEEN (68 Days) 
Fruit Shown in Color on Back Cover 
A very important new market strain de- 
veloped through the cooperation of Rutgers 
University and the New Jersey Agricul- 
tural Experiment Station, supervised by 
Prof. L. G. Schermerhorn, vegetable crops 
specialist and also the man who developed 
the Rutger tomato. A cross of Rutgers xX 
Valiant and named after the original 
Queens College, which is now known as 
Rutgers University. Vine growth indeter- 
minate, very rapid, extensive and spraw- 
ling. Perfect for staking. Foliage density 
midway between both of its parents. Mid- 
season in maturity, ripening about a week 
to 10 days earlier than Rutgers. An excep- 
tionally heavy producer of very deep, glob- 
ular fruits, averaging medium im size. Thick 
outer walls, good inside red color and a 
semi-acid flavor. The development and re- 
lease of Queen we believe is as important 
as its Rutger parent.
