Vine large with thick stems and vigorous foliage. Fruits globular; bright red, smooth with thick walls and small seed cells. CERTIFIED RUTGERS 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. PAN AMERICA 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 borne. STOKESDALE Introduced by the Francis C. Stokes Co., an attractive second early variety of wide adaptability and heavy yielding ability. Fruits smooth and practi- cally spherical medium large in size and of good red color. VICTOR Recently introduced by Michigan State College and awarded the All Amer- ica Bronze Medal for 1941. Plants rather small and sparse in foliage, of self-topping habit. Bright scarlet fruits of medium size which turn red all over at same time. A promising first early variety. Days 86 86 73 73 66.
