Tri-State’s Tomatoes 
CutrureE. Start indoors in early spring and transfer to the open ground when warm weather arrives. Leave 3 to 
4 feet between plants. 1 oz. produces about 3000 plants; 2 ozs. plants an acre. 
TOMATO, Trellis No. 22 
TRELLIS NO. 22. This variety is a few days later 
in maturing than Waltham Forcing and on the trial 
plots at Waltham Field Station does not produce 
as many Tomatoes, but the size is larger. However, 
the behavior of these two varieties is not consistent 
throughout eastern Massachusetts. Fruit very firm, 
smooth, of very good color, slightly flattened in 
shape, of the Comet type. Especially developed for 
use on trellis; four fruits make a pound. Demand 
for this Tomato is increasing in markets outside the 
Boston area because of its very excellent shipping 
qualities. THIS IS THE TOMATO THE HOME 
GARDENER, AS WELL AS THE MARKET 
GROWER, SHOULD TRY ON TRELLIS. These 
Tomatoes have been known to keep for a month 
after being picked without showing any appreciable 
amount of decay. 
WALTHAM FORCING. We find this Tomato will 
do well outdoors, although it was primarily devel- 
oped for the greenhouse. The fruits are a little 
smaller, earlier, and the set is heavier than Trellis 
INo./ 22. 
MOTHER VALIANT. 65 days. This is the stock seed 
used to grow the following year’s crop of Valiant. 
The harvesting and processing receives extra careful 
handling at all times. Mother Valiant makes a fine 
crop of smooth, solid Tomatoes early in the season. 
The fruits weigh about 7 ounces each and are ma- 
tured before the severe heat comes in July.

QUEENS. 72 days. This Tomato has many of the 
fine features found in Rutgers and is considerably 
earlier. Fruits are large, very firm and solid, brilliant 
scarlet and have a most attractive interior. Its 
solid flesh, delicious flavor and heavy yields assure 
its popularity. 
VALIANT. 65 days. Very early. Adapted to short- 
season areas and the early market. Plant sparse and 
open; fruits are of fine quality for an early variety, 
globe shaped and of bright scarlet color. Does 
especially well in New Jersey. 
STOKESDALE CERTIFIED. 67 days. A second- 
early scarlet variety maturing about a week earlier 
than Marglobe. Plant rather open in habit with 
medium heavy foliage. Fruits medium large, globe 
or semi-globe, smooth and well colored. Recom- 
mended for both canners and shippers, particularly 
where the growing season is shorter than average. 
GARDEN STATE. 73 days. Developed by Camp- 
bell Soup Company. Plant vigorous, partially re- 
sistant to fusarium wilt and late blight; fruits slightly 
flattened globe shape, thick walled, very attractive 
in both size and color. They continue to hold their 
size and color until the end of the season. 
CERTIFIED RUTGERS. 84 days. Remarkable for 
its large size and solidity. At present Rutgers is one 
of the foremost market and canning varieties in the 
country. It is highly disease resistant and practi- 
cally free from attacks of fusarium wilt. Plants are 
large and vigorous. Fruits average 614 to 71% ounces 
in weight, are globular, slightly flattened, having 
well-rounded shoulders and a very small blossom-end 
scar. Color brilliant red. 
CERTIFIED MARGLOBE. 75 days. We offer a 
most superb strain of this splendid type in point of 
earliness, uniformity and _ general desirability; 
particularly valuable for shipping and definitely 
disease resistant. We recommend this variety for 
use in sections infested with fusarium wilt and nail- 
head rust. Fruits uniform deep scarlet, large, uni- 
formly globe shaped, smooth, solid and of distinct 
quality. 
HYBRID TOMATOES 
BURPEEANA. 58 days. Distinctly different, extra 
early, true first generation (F,) hybrid Tomato. 
Fruits are deep globe shaped, medium size, smooth, 
firm, average 5 ozs. in weight and borne in clusters 
of from 5 to 8. Burpeeana has produced the highest 
early yield of all varieties of Tomatoes wherever 
tested. Quality is excellent; flavor is mild. Plants 
are of vigorous open habit. Adapted for staking. 
STOKESCROSS NO. 4. 70 days. The compelling 
feature of this F, hybrid is its ability to produce 
large, brilliant, smooth Tomatoes, ten days earlier 
than Rutgers. Tomatoes average 6 ozs., deep red in 
color and under normal weather conditions it will 
be almost crack free, a factor probably due to its 
deeper root system. Suitable for home garden, ship- 
ping and processing.
