Angora Tomato
68 days. Fuzzy, grayish white leaves and stems. Medium indeterminate vine growth. A most beautiful plant as the brilliant red tomatoes appear through the foliage. Medium size velvety-smooth fruits are extremely solid and rarely crack. A most delicious, very mild flavor. A very beautiful garden setting may be had by alternate planting of our Golden Glow tomato and flowers. A few plants will not come true in Angora; these can be detected in the seedling stage by the absence of fuzz on the leaves, which can be pulled and discarded. Postpaid: pkt., 50c; ¼ oz., $2.50

Early Garden State (Campbell's 378)
65 days. A new quality red tomato developed by the Campbell Soup, Co., resulting from an extensive breeding and testing program to perfect a canning variety combining earliness, heavy yield, fruit quality, and fine red color. Matures a week earlier than Stokesdale. Heavy yielder of slightly flattened fruits, with entire settings averaging large in size, very securely attached by thick stems. Ripe fruit is smooth and remains firm for unusual lengths of time. Vine growth vigorous an dense with wide leaves similar to Rutgers, becoming semi-open after lying down with its fruit load. Its heavy, early yield ripens in about three to four heavy pickings in rapid succession and is usually delivered before late blight or the first frost strikes. From excellent reports from many areas of U.S. This variety has a wide adaptability. Pkt., 1/8 oz., 25c; ¼ oz, 40c; oz., $1.10; ¼ lb., $3.50; lb., $11.80

Egg Tomato
Something altogether different than the ordinary tomato. An extremely heavy fruit setter, the size and shape of a medium-size chicken egg, and having only a very tiny stem scar. Fruits possess extremely high solids of blood-red color, with a very sweet delicious flavor. Maturity is mid-season, but bearing an ripening over a very long period. The fruits resist both cracking and sunburn, almost completely. This strain is one of the longest keeping tomatoes after ripe that we have ever seen. Medium size, indeterminate vines with quite heavy foliage. The old saying, “Good things come in small packages,” certainly applies to this tomato. Pkt., 25c.

German Tomato – Extreme Dwarf Bush
45 days. The most unusual dwarf bush tomato we have ever tested. Extreme dwarf rugged growth rarely grows more than a foot tall and the same in diameter. It is really a mystery how such a small plant can produce such an abundance of good size tomatoes. Extremely early, in fact we set out plants here in northern Ohio, Jun 15th, 45 days ripe tomatoes appeared. Somehow one of the fruits fell to the ground and was stepped on, before the first heavy frost stuck, lo and behold there beside the mother plant stood progeny plants in full bloom. This took place in one of the driest summers on record. If the mother plants had been set a month earlier we would have had two crops in one year. Leaves have a distinct upward curl, very thick and rigid. Beautiful globular red fruits attain a size up to 3 inches in diameter. Flavor is almost identical to the famous Rutger strain. What a joy it will be for shut-ins and indoor gardeners to watch this dwarf bush tomato grow in their homes and bear delicious fruit. All you need to grow them in a 10 inch flower pot or larger and set in a southern exposed window. Like greenhouse tomatoes the plant must be tapped with a stick when blossoms reach the open and extreme yellow stage in order to effect pollinization. This is taken care of by the wind when grown outdoors. Better yet, get some of the new hormones, spray on the blossoms for artificial pollinization and produce seedless tomatoes. Pkt., ( about 100 seeds ) 25c; ¼ oz., $2.50

Golden Glow
A new yellow-leaved tomato. Medium size, dense, bushy plants remain yellow the entire season. The striking yellow appears like fluorescence in the garden, very eye-catching even at a great distance and makes a most beautiful contrast among other green vegetable plants. Bears small pale-orange-colored fruits, very mild in flavor. The yellow leaves are not a fixed characteristic and are more of a mutation having a gene-deficiency. A small percentage of plants from our seed will have light green leaves. These can be detected in the seedling stage; when about three or four inches high they may be pulled and discarded from the flats. Pkt., 50c.

Laketa
The most unusual paste tomato discovered to-date. Fruit averages somewhat larger than San Marzano, but has a distinct pointed fruit characteristic and appears much like Tree Tomatoes. Laketa has the highest degree of fruit solids of any other tomato and even when dead ripe has the solid fell like a lemon. Skin is a purplish pink and the almost completely solid flesh is blood red color. Flavor is mild and extremely delicious. Vines are indeterminate, flat sprawling nature. Elongated leaves when young have long queer saw-toothed edges. Fruits of Laketa was sent to two experiment stations for identification, neither of them and including ourselves, were able to classify this strain. However, it is apparently of the San Marzano type. Laketa's extremely solid fruit characteristic lends value for breeding purposes in other tomato strains, say nothing of its present use with high fruit quality. Pkt., 25c; ¼ oz., $2.50

Fruits are exceptionally smooth, almost perfectly round, deep globular, medium to large in size. Mid-season in maturity, ripening an early cluster and extending its harvest over a long period. We know of no other variety giving so much satisfaction and that good firm feel in picking. The perfect roundness, free of cracks and blemishes, fine red color and resistance to sunburn make it an outstanding variety. Longred shows exceptional resistance to anthracnose. Vine growth is vigorous and sprawling, becoming semi-open at ripening time. The dark green leaves are very thick and rigid. Pkt., ¼ oz., 25c; oz., 75c; ¼ lb., $2.50; lb., $7.50
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 a 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., 25c; ¼ oz., $1.75.

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 attractive smoothness. Medium size indeterminate vines with ample foliage coverage. For many years Grothen's Globe has been the old standby in tomatoes for green wrap 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 consistently more productive, earlier and better plant health than the common Grothen's Globe strain. Pkt., 1/8 oz., 25c; ¼ oz., 40c; oz., $1.20; ¼ lb., $4.40; lb., $14.50

Mendoza 44
A new strain of Peron tomato developed by Prof. Abelardo Piovano, the man who created the now famous Peron tomato. Differing somewhat from the original strain, Mendoza 44 fruit average smaller, deeper globe shape, smoother and not having the ribbed shoulders, making a much better packing tomato. Tremendously productive, mildly acid flavor, flesh and skin carry a high degree of red color when ripe. Tough skin gives high crack resistance also. Indeterminate vines are extremely vigorous and fast growing with dense foliage. Maturity about the same as Peron. It appears that Mendoza 44 will be very well suited to hydroponic culture as well as field growing. Pkt., 50c; ¼ oz., $1.75; oz., $6.50

Pearson (Improved Strain)
75 days. One of the most popular tomato varieties grown in California. Medium-size vines, bushy, self-topping and having dense foliage. Excellent yielder under hot temperatures of large, deep globular fruits, very solid, meaty, ripening to a good red color suitable for canning. It has always been assumed by many that Pearson is too late in maturity for northern areas. This is not true, for we grow it very successfully, with most of the fruit getting ripe. It is likewise adapted to Florida and many other southern areas. Our northern grown Pearson seed tends to increase the hardiness and earliness of this variety. Pkt., 1/8 oz., 25c; ¼ oz., 35c; oz., $1.25; ¼ lb., $4.50; lb., $14.00

Peron Sprayless Tomato
68 days. A miraculous variety developed by Prof. Abelardo Piovano at the National University of Argentina. Medium size semi-determinate bushy vines are very resistant to fungus diseases common to tomatoes. Foliage is semi-dense. A very heavy yielder of large size, slightly flattened globular fruits of the most extraordinary quality. Interior of fruits very solid and meaty, without any core. Very small and numerous seed cells, form a perfect fruit structure. Ripens to a beautiful deep red color over the entire fruit without green or yellow shoulders. Its tough, velvety-smooth skin is very crack resistant and easily peeled without immersing in hot water, a rarity not found in other varieties. Flavor is mildly acid and of a most delicious taste. Fruits keep exceptionally long after ripening. The Peron tomato is called sprayless because it will produce a normal crop of quality fruit in most areas without any disease control. No other tomato was ever introduced that received so many voluntary complimentary reports and we have them by the hundreds. No other tomato ever introduced has shown such wide adaptability. These reports have come from practically every state, in areas where they were unable to grow any other strains. It performs wonderfully in the tropics where the fungus diseases get out of hand. From Alaska we have a report it is wonderful in the greenhouse. Its drought resistance is terrific. Pkt., (about 600 seeds) 50c; ¼ oz., $1.75; oz., $6.50; ¼ lb., $24.50

Pinkshipper
Wilt-resistant. From the Vegetable Crops Section of the Plant Industry Station, Beltsville, MD., comes this important new pink tomato. A development from double crosses using the strains of Pan American, Gulf State Market, Marvelosa, and Marglobe. From Pan American it received its high wilt resistance; its fruit color from Gulf State Market, and its needed fruit size and productiveness came from the Marvelosa-Marglobe cross. Fruits are smooth and deep oblate to globular in shape, medium in size and average very uniform. The fleshy fruits are unusually solid, very tough skin with high resistance to cracking. Indeterminate vines are very vigorous and dense. Under our test, Pinkshipper withstood a frost showing no effects when other strains were badly nipped. Under tests from several from other states, this variety received very favorable comments on its performance. Where fusarium wilt is a serious problem and a pink tomato is required, Pinkshipper is well adapted for either field or greenhouse culture. Pkt., 25c; ¼ oz., 75c; oz., $2.25; ¼ lb., $8.50

Roma (Wilt Resistant) Paste Tomato
68 days. A very important new tomato development at the Plant Industry Station, Beltsville, Maryland. Final selection came from progenies of crosses of San Marzano, Pan American and Red Top. Vine and fruit characteristics resemble Red Top, but much more productive and slightly larger San Marzano type fruit. There has been great need in the past for a wilt resistant paste tomato in areas where infestations of fusarium wilt has been a problem. Roma fruit ripens evenly to a deep red color. Interior is extremely high in solids, making it excellent for processing whole, for manufacturing of pulp or fortifying soup stocks. The mild flavor, few seeds and solid paste-type flesh make Roma fine for home use in fresh eating and salads. Pkt., 25c; ¼ oz., 90c; oz., $3.50; ¼ lb., $11.75

Rutgers (Indiana Strain)
72 days. A superior strain of Rutgers, re-selected and supervised at Purdue University. Slightly earlier and much more productive than the original 290 strain as it came from New Jersey. Fruit quality and color likewise are greatly improved. Fruits are smooth, slightly flattened at the stem-end, deep red color ripening from the interior outward. Thick walls, small seed cavities with very few seeds form very solid fruits. Plants are large, thick stems with dense foliage protecting fruits from sunburn. To get maximum yield from Rutgers, soil must not be over supplied with nitrogen. A heavy application of phosphate is recommended to insure early ripening and obtain an entire harvest. Pkt., ¼ oz., 25c; oz., 50c; ¼ lb., $1.75; lb., $5.50

Summer Prolific
65 days. New hot weather variety from the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station. A cross of Porters Globe and Stokesdale. Ripens to a beautiful deep pink, very smooth, practically crack proof and mild in flavor. Uniform size, averaging about six per pound in the first settings and the size increasing to four or five per pound later on. The globe-shaped fruits are extremely solid, because of their thick outer walls and very tough skin. Ripe fruits keep fine for long periods of time. Summer Prolific is able to set fruit in very hot summers, mainly because of the thick, heavy sepals protecting the flower parts. Vine growth very vigorous, upright and dense, with thick wide leaves, protecting fruits from the hot sun. Summer Prolific is an excellent variety for abnormally hot climates, resisting sun-scald and splitting, resulting in souring. Pkt., 1/8 oz., 25c; ¼ oz., 40c; oz., $1.10; ¼ lb., $3.50; lb., $11.80

The Dutchman
Here is an extremely old, large fruited pink-skinned tomato. While not classified as new, it is practically extinct as far as securing seed. In fact it is doubtful if seed has ever been sold by any seedmen. Only by handing down by generations of one family has this tomato existed. Huge pink-skinned fruits; very meaty red flesh; weight up to 3 pounds and more. Flavor is very sweet and without any acid. Large dense indeterminate vines with heavy foliage. Maturity, mid-season to late. Pkt., 25c; ¼ oz., 55c.

Thessaloniki
68 days. A wonderful new strain recently developed at the Ministry of Agriculture Experiment Farm in Greece. A cross of early Thessaloniki and late Thessaloniki. Mid-season in maturity. Vine growth indeterminate heavy, with dense foliage. Plant health throughout the season is very good, carrying considerable resistance to fungus diseases. Most amazing is its characteristic of producing practically all uniform size, deep globular fruits about the size of a baseball. Very beautiful, smooth, with perfect blossom ends. Small and rough-shaped fruits are a rarity. Skin is very tough, highly resistant to cracking. Ripens to a beautiful scarlet color, uniformly over the entire fruit. Its solid fleshy interior is mildly flavored and fruits keep very well after ripening. Adapted for staking and we value it a very important market or home garden strain. Reports of trials with Thessaloniki say “nothing more could be asked for in tomatoes.” pkt., ( about 600 seeds ) 50c; ¼ oz., $1.75; oz., $6.50; ¼ lb., $24.50

Tomato Fortune
72 days. An outstanding new red developed at the University of Arkansas. A cross of Rutgers X Pan American. Large bushy vines, inherited from its Rutger parent possess even greater foliage density. Fruit yield, much higher, averaging only slightly smaller than Rutger characteristic of ripening to a deep red from the interior outward. Fruits are meaty without a core, mild, semi-acid and somewhat sweet in flavor. The juice is quite sticky, indicating sugar content. Maturity in season with Rutgers, but ripening first clusters a few days ahead of its parent. We find this variety worthy of its name, “Fortune,” showing fully one-third greater fruit settings and yielding ability than Rutgers. Very important as a combination green-wrap and canning variety its resistance to fusarium wilt, high fruit setting ability and dense foliage will adapt Fortune to most of the southern states. Pkt., 1/8 oz., 25c; ¼ oz., 40c; oz., $1.10; ¼ lb., $3.50; lb., $12.50

Urbana
70 days. A development from the University of Illinois by Prof. W. A. Huelsen. Bred for deep rich top soil conditions, experienced in many parts of Illinois, which cause tomato plants to grow all to vines and set very little fruit. Urbana is a very high yielding tomato, as proven at the Vineland, Ontario, Field Station in 1951 by out-yielding in both early and total yield over 100 varieties, including hybrids. Fruit is medium size, very smooth, globe shaped, deep scarlet flesh, firm, with thick walls and small seed cavities. Unripe fruit is light green, having even ripening characteristic. Fruit quality is highly praised by canning factories. Plants are determinate, compact and bushy with many short branches giving good fruit coverage.

Weshaven
Wilt-resistant. Just released by the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station. Fruits are large, deep globe and generally smooth on both stem and blossom ends and holding up their size until end of the vines. The fruits are firm, extremely fleshy with but few seeds, have a tough skin and ripen much more evenly than Rutgers in storage tests. Other tests in Texas have shown up to 49% of Weshaven fruit was larger than Rutgers. Yield tests have indicated up to eight times that of the latter. Weshaven is a week to 10 days earlier than Rutgers. The plants have a somewhat sprawling growth with good foliage coverage and are highly resistant to fusarium wilt and grey leaf spot. The extreme firmness and solid flesh of Weshaven, together with its long-keeping qualities, adapts it very well for green wrap and shipping. Pkt., 25c; ¼ oz., 40c; oz., $1.20; ¼ lb., $4.40; lb., $14.50

Western-Red
68 days. A new and important red, market variety developed by L.F. Locke, soil scientist at the Southern Great Plains Field Station. A cross of Porters X Danmark X Break O'Day. Western-Red was bred and selected for its characteristic of setting fruit under the hot and dry conditions of the respective area where it was developed. It has proven to produce much higher yields than other well known standard varieties under adverse climatic conditions. Vines are medium size, determinate in growth. Rather open foliage coverage; however, fruits resist sun scald remarkably well. Mid-season in maturity, the fruits attain a medium average size, light red color and mild in flavor. Western-Red is recommended as a home garden and local market variety for western Oklahoma, southwestern Kansas, eastern New Mexico and western Texas. Pkt. 1/8 oz., 25c; ¼ oz., 50c; oz., $1.50; ¼ lb., $5.50
