How- ever, like alt other early var- ieties the yield per slant af Although both varieties were developed as early varieties for the processing industry, they can be grown in the home gar- The two new'varieties are named Vinered and Viceroy. Vinered is the earlier of the two. It was developed from a cross between the smatrfriut. ed, very early variety Early Chatham and the late. high. duality 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 breeding at the Hor- ticultural Experiment Station. The two new varieties not only have good color but they are able to set fruit at lower tem- peratures than most other var- ieties. Vernal alfalfa should be the Anost widely sown variety of alfalfa in 1959, says Dr. Hunt- ley. DuPuits alfalfa, introduced to Ontario a few years ago, has different characteristics .from Vérnal and other typically northern-type alfalfa varieties in that it grows much more vigorously in the spring and fall, and after cutting. In short rotations & where the crop can be cut early for grass silage or very early cut hay, this variety can be used to advantage through a large part of old Two new tomato varieties for I both of Ontario have been announced lower tl by the Horticultural Experi- varieties mental Station of the Ontario iage, Vi Department of Agriculture at ible to s Vineland. m" “A New Tomato Can any recommendations be made now for Ontario‘growers of field crops in 1959? Yes, states Dr. D. N. Hunt.. ley, Head of the Department of Field Husbandry, Ontario Agricultural College.
