HYBRID TOMATOES 
“Just a Little More of Everything.” 
Two important Hybrid Tomatoes bred and grown by 
Roy H. Burghart and introduced to the trade as a better 
and more vigorous Tomato that is more resistant to wilt 
and disease. They are ideal greenhouse varieties, and have 
been grown in all of the leading Tomato sections of this 
country for the past several years. 
SPARTON HYBRID is a cross between Michigan State 
Forcing and Cooper’s Special. Globular in shape, medium 
size fruit, 5 to 6 ounces in weight, about three to the pound, 
growing in clusters of six to eight. A meaty Tomato, small 
seed cavity. 
NORTHERN HYBRID is a cross between Michigan State 
Forcing and Sutton’s Best Of All and is an ideal greenhouse 
hybrid for NORTHERN growing, especially in Canada and 
northern United States including Alaska. It is more vigorous 
growing, particularly in dark fall and winter weather which 
is prevalent in the North. It is not as large as Spartan Hy- 
brid, 4 to 5 ounces of solid fruit, in clusters of ten to 
twelve. Color red, globular in shape.

greenhouse production. It is a cross of Michigan State Forc-
