_ GIANT HYBRID TOMATO. 
78 days. Big Boy, introduced by 
Burpee in 1949, is the largest of our 
true, first generation (F,) hybrid to- 
__ matoes; many weigh 1 lb. and more, 
some 2 lbs. and over. Unlike other 
___ large fruited varieties, Big Boy toma- 
__ toes are perfectly smooth, deep globe 
to deep oblate in shape and very firm; 
scarlet-red color, thick walls, with 
bright red, meaty flesh of fine flavor 
and excellent quality. At its peak of 
performance in midseason, although 
large fruits are produced late in the 
- season when many standard varieties 
decline in yield and size. Ideal hybrid 
for the home and market grower, espe- 
cially roadside sales. The demand for 
Big Boy Tomato seed is greater than 
for any other vegetable that we list. 
Plants are very large, extremely 
vigorous, semi-upright to spreading; 
moderately dense, dark green foliage 
_ protects the fruits from sunscald.
