One picking of tomatoes grown in the east part of Holyoke by Emma Saylor in September 1963 is shown above. These are half-bushel baskets, and 28 of them were filled at this picking. Saylor’s quarter-acre tomato patch is located near her home at 711 E. Emerson. Five pickings have been made, averaging a little more than 11 bushels per picking, for a total of 58 bushels. The tomatoes are F1 hybrid early Big Boys. — The Holyoke Enterprise file photo
