Growers in the Washing ton Boro area have been in difficulty almost all year. Late frost nipped some of the early plants m the cold frames A sudden hail storm took its toll after some of the plants were in the field Rainy weather during the early blossoming period cau sed a poor set and many fruits with “catfaces”, mis shapen sides or cracks The season was almost 2 weeks later tnan normal this year. Some of the growers ex pressed the belief that the worst obstacle to quality in early tomatoes is lack of good plants. No one cares about raising good pants anymore, was the expression from several growers. They felt that the available plants this year were too tall and spindling. “What we need is a short,, stocky, vigorous pl ant, and some way to get it into the field without too much hand labor,’’ one grower said.
