Forcing ““s;"°° Tomatoes 
Grown in Greenhouses 
Everywhere 
MICHIGAN STATE FORCING. 75 days. An excellent 
greenhouse variety and a vigorous grower with dark 
green foliage. Especially attractive medium size fruits 
(4 to 5 ounces) are borne in clusters of five to eleven. 
Stem cavity is small, shallow and very smooth. Blossom 
end well rounded with a very small scar, the outer walls 
of fruit are thicker, and the firmness of the fruit makes 
it possible to allow them to ripen on the vine without 
loss to the grower. Many growers have in late years done 
remarkably well with this variety for outdoor growing 
and it is to be recommended.
