EARLIANA 498 64 
FRUIT — Deep scarlet red, nearly globular in shape. Fine flavor, 
solid interior, medium large. 
VINE — Indeterminate, vigorous, open and spreading. Fine cut 
foliage. 
Earliana 498 is undobutedly the smoothest and best in the 
Earliana class, adopted for an extra early cropper in the Northern 
and Western States. 
EARLIANA FIRST EARLY 62 
FRUIT — Bright red, flattened globular shaped. Quite smooth, 
slightly larger than Earliana 498. 
VINE — Indeterminate, open plant. Spreading, fine cut foliage, 
medium small. 
This strain is slightly earlier than Earliana 498 and because of 
its ability to set fruits in cool weather it is used extensively in the 
Imperial Valley and Southern California for the early spring market. 
We invite you to try our strain. 
EARLY PAK 78 
FRUIT — Globular, thick walled and firm. Excellent bright scarlet 
color, very smooth and attractive. 
VINE — Determinate, short and compact. Very productive, good 
foliage cover, dark green color. 
We offer a selected strain of this variety. It can be used as a 
canner as well as shipper for the fresh market. 
HOMESTEAD (STEP 89) 80 
16 
ERULE — Red, medium to large, smooth, globe shaped, thick walls, 
firm interior. A lighter green shoulder than Rutger’s. 
VINE — Semi-determinate plant habit, dense foliage. Somewhat 
compact, has near-immunity to Fusarium wilt. 
We offer the original strain released by U.S. Vegetable Labora- 
tory at Charleston, South Carolina. Homestead has in its short time 
shown great promise for the South as an excellent shipping tomato 
and should not be overlooked when planning your tomato variety list.
