Vines a trifle slower growing than Blair Forcing and leaves somewhat finer cut and darker in color. Blooms very freely and sets fruit at the same rate as Blair Forcing. Fruits. Pink, and in outward appearance closely resemble Blair Forcing. The interior is different, as shown by comparing the illustrations on pages 10 and 12. Sureset Forcing has a thicker rind than Blair Forcing and larger and fewer cells. Continued observations show that Sureset Forcing often has a larger sized fruit than Blair Forcing but is not so heavy. Sureset Forcing also tends to be more deeply oblate. Yields. Sureset Forcing yields a little heavier than Blair Forcing as a rule. In a test in the fall of 1934 on a commercial scale Sureset Forcing showed an increased yield over Blair Forcing of 12.6 percent. Use. Sureset Forcing is a pink tomato which may be grown either in the fall or in the spring. It may be substituted for Blair Forcing by growers who prefer somewhat larger, but not heavier, fruits. The quality of the fruit is not so good as that of Blair Forcing.
