season, table 3. TX 3-- had the largest L/I) ratio and
Explorer had the smallest. Triple Cross had the highest
carpel separation.
Potatoes (Fairhope and Crossville)
Seed potatoes for the 19-- t rials were obtained from
Frito Lax Company, of Bald in Countx Alabama, 
Michi
gan. Nlilnes( )ta. North Dakota, South Dakota, Starks
Farms, ['SDA. and the Unix ersitx of Wisconsin. 
Seed

Fairhope and March 10 at Crossville. Seed pieces were
planted at Fairl-hope xwith a hand operated planter in
3Kinch roxxs and at Crossxville

Seed pieces were spaced 12 inches in the drill at 
bo)th

Sweetpotatoes (Auburn, Fairhope, Clanton, and Cullman)
Varieties and hreeding lines werc ohtained 
fromi
breeders in Februarx and storeclat 55' F'. M ng with the
varieties alreadx on hand. Seed wcre prespi-itel ait 85'

Of
75W Botran in 71/2 galIons of water for 1 minute, 
and
placed in electric heated beds. Roots of some nex
introductions are limited: therefore, the 
number otf
plants prlduced was not sufficient for planting at all
locations.
Plants were set by hand, April 29 at Fairlhope, MaX 19
at Milstead, June 10 at Clanton, aind Ma' 17 at Cullnu1n.
Spacing o)f plints was 12 inches apart ill 38-inc h roxxs at
Fairhope and in 44-inch rows at other locati)ons.

extensix clx in the Cullman area and is referred to b

Tomato seed wxere planted in the greenihouse Feb-
ruarx 3 for Fairhope and Clanton and March 30 for-
Cu~llman. Plants wxere transplanted April 7 at 
Fairhocpe,
April 20 at Clanton, and Maxt\ 17 at Cullman. Plants wxere
spaced 15 inches apart in 5-toot rows at Fairhope and
Cullman. At Clanton, rows wvere spaced 8 feet. Plants
wxere p~runed and staked to a txx o-leader sy stem at
Fairhope; the hinder twinme trellis method wxas used for
staking at Clanton and Cullman.
At Clanton, six han ests were madle beginning June 28
and ending August 2. Weather conditions 
during Max,
June, and the first half of julx wxere adverse for good
tomnato pn )duction, wXith dlaytime temperatutres averag-
ing in the 90's. Poor fruit Set and development are
reflected in the fair to poor marketable xyields in the
Clanton trial, table 9. Pink Delight produced the highest
marketable yield and AL 72-5 produced the lowxest.
Super Red I lx brid, Better Box VN, ,and Pink Delight had
the highest y ields of 5X6 fruits. Traveler producedI the
highest y ield of 6X6 and 6X-/ fruits. Yields of cull fruits
wxere much higher than normal in 1977 W~1ide the bulk
of the culls wxere smnall, some were Culls because of fruit
disorders. Blossom-end rot wxas a serious problem on
most of the varieties. Floridla-dex eloped v arieties
Homestead 24, Walter, and Floradel, w-ere among those
least affected by this disorder. Saturn also has a high
tolerance to blossom -end rot.

Super Red 1 Ix brid producing the highest yield of mar-
ketable tomatoes, table 10. HM hrid 980 and Big Girl VEF
-Hybrid also made good yields. Big Girl \T Hybhrid pro-
dluced the highest yileld of 5X6 fruits, wxith Auburn 76
FMIN and Saturn having low yijelds of this size fruits.
Spring Set H-yxbrid prodUced no 5X6 truits and lowx
xyields of other marketable sizes. lI hN-rid 980 produced
the highest x ields of 6X6 fruits and Auburn 76 FMIN the
highest x jelds of 6X~ fruits. Culls xxere about normal for
the Cullman trial. AU 66-25 produced the highest per-
cent of culls and Big Girl yE H-Ix brid the loxxest.
At Fairhope, 10 harxvests were made beginning June 9
'and ending Julx 15. Yields xwere excellent for most
x arieties and wxeli above yields of the prexvious year. At'
76 FMNN produced the highest xyield of marketable 
fruit,
with approximatelx three Ifourth of it in the 6X6 and 6X7
sizes. Atl ES Tropic XSL. breeding line was the second
higriest y ielding, and approximately three four1th of its
marketable xyield wxas 5X6 and 6X6 sizes. Tropic pro-
dcIUed the highest x ield of 5X6 fruits. Better 
Box yEN,
Wonder Box VF, and Mo~nte Carlo VEN were the next
three highest y ielding of 5X6 fruits. \larketable xyields of
Beefmaster liybrid were loxw dlue to poor fruit shape).
This varietx, at best, could only be a garden tomato.
Percent culls were generallx lowxer than in 1976. Catfac-
ing accounted for the highest pecn of cull fruits. Five
varieties wxere free of cracks.
