Show A Wide Variety Of Tomatoes There is a wide variety of tomatoes toma-toes for home gardeners to choose from when planning their summer gardens. ALVIN R. Hanson, vegetable specialist for Utah State University Universi-ty Extension Service, offers the following comments on tomatoes which have been available and successful suc-cessful in Utah for a number of years: "A highly productive large cherry cher-ry type tomato is the Presto Hybrid, Hyb-rid, which matures in 55 days. "EARLY CASCADE Hybrid is a medium size tomato with unusually unusual-ly smooth high quality fruits which mature in 60 days. "DX52-I2 is a main season variety vari-ety which matures in 70 days and has been unusually well accepted throughout Utah. This variety has large fruits with almost solid interiors in-teriors of deep red color, relatively good firmness and superb flavor," Hamson says. HE SAYS this tomato was developed de-veloped to mature in a concentrated concen-trated manner for processing of high quality whole tomatoes and this characteristic fits well into the production of a quality of tomatoes for home canning in Utah. "Those who wish to grow tomatoes toma-toes for catsup, paste, or puree might well plant Royal Chico, or Square paste," Hansen suggests. |
