BREEDERS AND GROWERS 85 BREAK o' DAY Days from setting plants to marketable fruits 70 Introduced by the late Dr. F. J. Pritchard, of the United States De- partment of Agriculture, in 1930. A cross of Marglobe and Marvana, resistant to wilt and nail-head rust. Plant light, of open, spreading habit, with medium foliage; early and very prolific. Fruits medium large, orange-red, uniform, globe-shaped, smooth; walls not as thick as in Marglobe. The yellow cast in color, and light vine growth are drawbacks to this variety. Our origination introduced in 1920. A medium early variety extensive- ly used in the extreme South for green wrapping and shipping. Vine of medium growth, open, very prolific. Fruits medium large, globe- shaped, bright scarlet, smooth, solid, with thick walls. Desirable also for slicing and canning. Earliana 66 A first early sort, widely used for home gardens, and by truckers. Ours is one of several excellent strains of this important variety which has been bred for thicker, smoother fruits. Vine is open, spreading, medium small. Fruits flattened, medium sized, firm, bright red, quite smooth. Early Shipper • 72 Our introduction in 1935. An early variety highly valuable for ship- ping; specially adapted to California growing conditions. Plant some- what open, foliage medium, more sturdy than most early sorts, very prolific. Fruits of medium size, bright scarlet-red, smooth, globe- shaped with heavy side walls and small seed cavities. Very free from cracking and puffiness. Destined to become increasingly popular.

Fruits medium size, semi-globular, very attractive br
