_Victor._--is a new variety bred originally by Yeager but introduced by K. C. Barrons of Michigan. It affords smoother, deeper and better colored fruits about as early as Earliana. It is determinate in habit and shy in foliage, increasing danger of sunscald. Rich soil and ample moisture are needed for its best development. _Bounty_ and _Home Garden_ are similar. _Penn State._--Penn State, developed by C. E. Myers of Pennsylvania, is not as early as Earliana. It is similar in fruit characters though distinctly better in color and shape. It is marked by short branches (determinate habit) and is designed to give an early crop to be followed by prompt abandonment of the planting. It is not to be confused with Penn State Earliana. _Bonny Group._--This group embraces our leading second early varieties widely used for home garden, greenhouse, market and cannery in the north. It includes _Bonny Best_, _John Baer_ and _Chalk Jewel_ with many additional names and with much confusion of characters among them. Bonny Best is second early and of medium plant growth. Fruits are deep oblate to flattened globe, even and smooth, of good red color, with few large, thick-walled cells. [Illustration: FIGURE 9.--Marglobe plant.] Varieties and strains of this group vary in growth and yield, in size, shape and earliness of fruit and in suitability for greenhouse, market, cannery and juice. _Stokesdale_ and _Scarlet Dawn_ are meritorious newer names in the group. _Marglobe._--This variety was developed by the late Dr. F. J. Pritchard from a cross between Marvel, a French variety lending resistance to fusarium and Globe, an old variety of fine size and shape. It is widely used, north and south, for market--green or ripe, for cannery and to some extent, for forcing. [Illustration: FIGURE 10.--Marglobe fruit.] Marglobe is a midseason variety, with large vine and foliage, resistant to fusarium and nailhead spot. Fruits are nearly globular, shapely and smooth, medium to large, scarlet red, with medium number of thick walled cells. Marglobe is rather subject to deep radial cracks. _Pritchard_ is of the general type of Marglobe but is earlier, with short branching habit and resistance to nailhead rust and to fusarium, and, perhaps, is less subject to cracking. _Greater Baltimore_ is used chiefly for canning in long-season districts. It is late, with large vine, large flat fruits of excellent scarlet red, outside and in, with many thick walled cells. _Indiana Baltimore_ is a variant widely grown in the mid-west for cannery. _Rutgers_ was developed by L. G. Schermerhorn at the New Jersey Experiment Station for fine juice and canning characters--color, flavor and substance. Growth is vigorous and yields are heavy; fruits are large, flattened and well colored. _Gulf State Market_ is a second early shipping tomato, generally harvested green. It is flattened in shape, of well developed pink color and good interior.
