Rr1,e'er & Mittelholtz Hardware ZURICH •-- Phone 63 Experimental Station Announces Two New Varieties of Tomatoes Two new tomato varieties for Ontario have been announced by the Horticultural Experimental Station of, the Ontario Department of Agriculture at Vineland. The two new varieties are nam- ed Vinered and Viceroy. Vinered is the earlier of the two. It was developed from a cross between the small-fruuited,' very early var- iety Early Chatham and the late, high-quality variety Rutgers. Vice- roy came from a cross between Bounty and Rutgers. Most of our present early var- ieties of tomatoes in Ontario were developed for the fresh market and are rather pale in color for processing, states Dr. E. A. Kerr, who is in charge of plant breed- ing at the Horticultural Experi- mental Station. The two new var- ieties not only have good color but they are able to set fruit at lower temperatures than most other var- ieties. Although both varieties were de- veloped as early varieties for the processing industry, they can be grown in the home garden. The Viceroy variety is large, meaty, and with attractive flavor. Vinered is a very early variety, and has an even better color than Viceroy. However, like all other early var- Hensall Institute Has Health Nurse As Guest Speaker ieties the yield per plant of both of the new varieties is lower than the yield of late varieties. Owing to sparse foliage, Viceroy may be susceptible to sunscald in a hot season, and both varieties should be sprayed carefully to re- tain all their foliage. ,Unfortunately for home gard- eners, Viceroy and Vinered were so promising last year that proces- sing companies have bought almost the entire seed supply. However, the Horticultural Experiment Sta- tion at Vineland still has a few trial packets which will be distri- buted as long as they last. Both Vinered and Viceroy will be avail- able from seed companies next fall. ATTENTION — FARMERS .
