A wilt-resistant type of Stone Days to maturity, 160. This Tomato is recommended for general- crop purposes throughout all sections of the country infested by Fusarium Wilt, which includes states south of and including Pennsylvania and Indiana. Norton is usually a long time reaching its full bearing condition and there- fore requires an ample growing season for a full crop. For this reason it is not recommended for cultivation in the more northerly districts. In general appearance and growing char- acteristics it is similar to the well- known Stone type. It is especially recommended to the canning trade of Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky, and Arkansas. In shape it is a trifle too flat to be especially valuable as a shipping Tomato. Price, de- livered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; y4lb. $1.25; lb. $4; 5 lbs. or more, $3.75 per lb. The Norton Tomato is succeeding as a main-crop sort in all districts which grew Stone Greater Baltimore This special strain has been developed for size of fruit and high tonnage per acre Days to maturity, 150. Greater Baltimore is one of the leading main-crop canning types of Tomato. The strain that we offer has been especially developed for increased size and productiveness, definitely raising the tonnage yield. Many commercial strains of Baltimore develop small, flat fruits, but this strain shows great improvement in that respect. This stock will rate very high with the very finest strains of Baltimore so far developed, including the well-known Indiana Baltimore. We can recom- mend it very highly. Price, delivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; ^lb. $1.25; lb. $4; 5 lbs. or more, $3.75 per lb. 37
