Climbing Trip L Crop OP ou Italian Tree OP ou Italian Climber OP ou Giant Climbing OP

• Variété citée en 1895 dans le catalogue "Everitt" à Indianapolis dans l'Indiana aux USA avec le texte suivant : Great progress has been made in late years in the improvement of the tomato. Quite in contrast with the small ill-shaped, sour specimens of a few years ago are the large, smooth, sweet fruits so easily raised now. Great rivalry exists in localities as to who ean raise the earliest or the largest tomatoes. We offer in the "Giant Climbing Tomato" the greatest novelty in this line, and whoever raises it, according to directions printed on each package, will have an attraction that will draw all eyes toward their garden.

This is not a tree tomato.

 

The term "tree," frequently applied to tomatoes, is generally intented to mislead. We do not call grapes "Tree grapes," because they will climb up a trellis. The Giant Climbing Tomato needs a support to climb upon, when they will grow 10 to 15 feet high, bearing fruit all along the vine from the ground up. The tomatoes grow to weigh from 2 to 4 lbs. each, and in size 10 to 16 ins. in circumference, Nearly all the tomatoes are smooth and regular in shape ; color glossy red ; sound to the core, with very few seeds.

 

The flavor is all that can be desired. They are ever-bearing, only cut off by frost. These tomatoes can be grown on the garden fence, on the sunny side of a house or outbuilding, or in any position where a support is provided. The more public the situation the more will they be admired.
