SNEMMA SÁÐNAR TOMATOS
Vordaga Chatham
Þœr allra fyrstu Tomatos—
hvar sem eru í Canada.
Ómetanlegar fyrir norðrið og vestrið
og aðra staði sem hafa stuttar árs-
tíðir. Einnig mjög ákjósanlegar á
öðrum stöðum fyrir fljóta sprettu og
gæði, eru fullþroska tveim vikum
eða meir á undan öðrum ávöxtum.
Reyndust ágætlega í sléttufylkjun-
um 1943 og 1944, þar með taldir
staðir svo sem Lethbridge og Brooks
í Alberta; Indian Head og Swift Cur-
rent í Sask., Brandon og Morden í
Man. I kringum Calgary, þar sem
gengu fyrst undir nafninu “Alberta”,
urðu garðyrkjumenn alveg undradi
yfir þeim. f Lethbridge voru “Vor-
daga Chatham” fullþroskaðar viku
til tólf dögum á undan öðrum garðá-
vöxtum. f Mordan, Man., var vöxtör
þeirra frá 20% til 40% meiri en
nokkur önnur snemma þroskuð garð
tegund. “Vordaga Chatham” eru
smáar, þurfa ekki að binda upp, og
má planta tvö fet á hvern veg. Eplið
samsvarar sér vel, fallegt í lögun og
að lit, fyrirtaks bragðgott. Er um 2%
þml. í þvermál, en oftast þó meira.
Pantið eftir þessari auglýsing. En
þar sem eigi er nægilegt útsæði að
fá getum við ekki sent meira en
fram er tekið. (Pk. \5<f) (oz. 75?)
