Professor Myers of "Penn State Bail

The new tom item are expected to do

farmers M. the state with Its five bushel

In addition to the "Nittany" toma

other new discovelies "Matchum" and
"Penn State Earliana " Last year in
the college gal dens the "Nittany" yield- ' I
ed utmost fifteen and one-half' tons of
,fruit to the acre The average yield of
"Matchum" for the past seven years of
its development , was just fifteen tons,
and in eight years the "Penn State Ear

runner tons per acre ' The average
yield of tomatoes in Pennsylvania is be
tween five and six , tons per acre, and
that for the better class of market
gardeners is about ten loos The com
parative value of tile new brands is
readily seen
The Nittany tomato, ,resulting from
tile cross , of Emmons, a large red to

of Inheritance to determine scientific
facts rather than - to produce new va

possessed desirablecombinations of
fruit, shape, size and color Seeds of
this plant hale continued to give only

The vine Assembles that of the Yellow

The outstanding feature of this vie

broiled the tough skin characteristic
of the Yellow Pear While It detracts
nothing from the edible qualities, It is
Invaluable for the fruit does not crack
during growth or shipment. For the
main crop it is considered superior to
any other of the more than seventy
five varieties which have been tested at
the Pennsylvania Agricultural Experi
ment Station within recent years
The Matchum produces a large, mid
season crop, the fruit matures before
that of either parent and the plant re
sembles the Hummer. The fruit aver
ages nearly three Inches in diameter,
has few seeds and the flavor is mild
and pleasant Production is four tone
greater per acre than 'either parent
Professor Myers started tomato stu

Penn State In 1008 He made several
seleepons from various teed sources of
the popular Earliana variety which re
sulted in the development of Penn State
Earliana. His "Number 4" selection

The fruit is two to three Inches
