its earliness and resistance to cracking.

FRUIT—Large, globular, smooth, fleshy, of good quality, light scarlet color. Ripens 
rather unevenly. 
DWARF CHAMPION (Pink) H 83 
(Tree Tomato)

nicely in a small space.

EARLIANA (Red) HMC 64

to some extent for canning in Canada and the Northern states. 
VINES—Medium size, open and spreading, vigorous. Bears fruit in clusters. 
KRUIT—Medium sized, nearly globe shape, thick skin, bright scarlet color, rather soft. 
Tendency to rough fruit, especially in first cluster. 
GARDEN STATE IMPROVED (Red) CM 78 
Popular for whole canning, juice and catsup. Somewhat similar to Rutgers but plant 
growth more compact and fruit slightly flatter. Matures most of its heavy crop during 
the early part of the bearing season. The leaves and stems have shown some ability to 
resist and survive late blight (Phytophthora infestans). 
VINES—Medium large and semi-determinate. Compact, bushy growth protects fruits 
well from the sun. Very productive. 
FRUIT—Oblate, meaty, firm, scarlet red, and of fine quality. Holds well after ripening.
