TOMATO—Continued Days PAN AMERICA 73 Recently developed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture at Beltsville, Md., from a cross of a small-fruited Peruvian variety and Marglobe. Highly resistant to Fusarium wilt. Fruits globular, of medium large size, bright red color and thick walls, heavily set. Plant semi-open, with moderately heavy foliage. PEARSON 'C' 76 Developed at the College of Agriculture, California and released in 1937. A variety in the main-crop class, primarily for canning. Vigorous vines with ample foliage to protect the fruits, which are medium large, semi-globe and of good red color. Its tough skin is of value to the canner. PRITCHARD 76 Introduced by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. All-America Gold Medal 1934. Vine self-topping, tolerant to Fusarium wilt and and nail-head rust. Fruits nearly globular, with thick walls; color light scarlet, not so intense as could be desired. RUTGERS 86 An excellent canning variety of wide adaptation. Bred from Marglobe and , it combines the best qualities of both, including Marglobe's resistance to disease and 's habit of ripening from the interior out- wards. Vine large with thick stems and vigorous foliage. Fruits globular; bright red, smooth with thick walls and small seed cells. CERTIFIED RUTGERS 86 By careful selection over a period of years, we have developed a very choice deep-fruited strain of Rutgers, notable for its uniformity and high yield of U. S. No. 1 fruits. It is available only in Asgrow containers, and bears Experiment Station certification as to trueness to type and freedom from seed-borne diseases.
