New “Jomatoes 
MANALEE (68 Days) — Wilt Resistant 
A new tomato variety released by the Gulf Coast Experiment Station of Florida. 
An early maturing strain especially adapted for fall production in areas of the southern 
half of Florida. A very productive tomato of deep globular medium size with an at- 
tractive smoothness. Medium size indeterminate vines with ample foliage coverage. 
For many years Grothen’s Globe has been the old standby in tomatoes for greenwrap 
and shipping to northern markets. Manalee was developed as a greater improvement 
on this old time strain, having resistance to four different fungus diseases and greatly 
increased productivity. Several days gain in earliness is also an advantage for higher 
market prices. Tests in Florida the past few years have shown Manalee to be con- 
sistently more productive, earlier and better plant health than the common Grothen’s 
Globe strain. 
Pkt.: 1% oz. 25c; 4 oz. 40c; 1 oz. $1.20; '% Ib. $4.40; 1 lb. $14.50. 
OHIO W-R BROOKSTON — Wilt Resistant 
A newly developed tomato from the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, having 
unusually high fruit quality for canners and home gardeners. Interior color of fruit is 
a dark red, similar to Rutgers giving an excellent finished product. Maturity a few 
days earlier. Slightly flattened fruits are large under good growing conditions and set 
well under hot weather conditions. Total yield exceeds Rutgers and being earlier pre- 
sents a very important new canning strain. The H. J. Heinz Company has found Ohio 
W-R Brookston to be equal and better in comparison to their select Rutger F-2 strain. 
Pkt. 25c; 44 oz. 40c; 1 oz. $1.20; '% lb. $4.40; 1 lb. $14.50. 
LUTESCENT (70 Days) 
A new and very rare tomato of unusual oddity. Plants look normal until fruit begins 
to set. Mysteriously from there on the lower leaves turn yellow but remain alive and 
healthy. The calyx, many times of monstrous size, together with the fruit, turns yellow. 
It appears as though the plant were about to produce yellow tomatoes, but lo and behold 
on complete ripeness the fruit turns red. The combination of green and yellow leaves 
presents a beautiful sight as the yellowing proceeds upward from the base, eventually 
enveloping most of the plant at extreme maturity. Globular medium size fruits of mild 
flavor. Having no commercial value, this strain is merely ornamental. While the plant 
itself is of fixed type, yellowing of the leaves and fruit is due to an inherent yellow- 
recessive characteristic. 
Pkt.: (about 300 seeds) 25¢; %4 oz. $1.75. 
NECTARINE (72 Days) 
Another rare tomato having a sticky, characteristic on both fruit and leaves. Very 
mild medium size fruit appear as though a clear corn syrup had been poured over them. 
Interior of fruit is pink upon ripening -with somewhat rusty appearing skin. Plant 
growth quite large, very dense with wide thick leaves. The extreme glossy shine of 
the fruit would be a most desirable characteristic if incorporated in a quality market 
variety. 
Pkt: (about 300 seeds) 25c; % oz. $1.75,
