canners and market gardeners everywhere. Its solidity and 
carrying qualities are remarkable. Its color is a desirable 
red; in shape perfectly smooth, and thicker from stem to 
blossom end than most varieties, making it most handsome 
and salable.

This new introduction by the U. S. Depart- 
Marglobe ment of Agriculture is without doubt the 
most wonderful development ever offered tomato growers. 
We quote the following description given us by Dr. Fred 
J. Prichard, of the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Depart- 
ment of Agriculture. 
“In regard to the description of the Marglobe I would 
say that it is a very prolific, second-early, red-fruited 
variety. It usually produces heavy yields of large smooth, 
globular, meaty, red fruits. They have a delightful flavor, 
and are covered with a thick skin which hinders cracking. 
Moreover, the plants shade the fruits well and thus pro- 
tect them from sun-scald. 
“Marglobe has been developed primarily to resist wilt. 
In addition to this extremely valuable feature, however, 
the variety has many other characteristics of merit. The 
heavy yields produced make this a very profitable variety 
to grow. Fruits average one-half pound each, of a perfect 
globe shape, beautiful deep scarlet in color, and only 
mildly acid; vines grow vigorously without spreading, have 
abundant foliage furnishing adequate cover for the fruits 
without too much shade, and ripening its first fruits from 
90 to 95 days. Marglobe is unsurpassed for table use and 
canning purposes, and is worthy of careful consideration 
of every tomato grower.” 
Since our introduction of it in 1905 
Maryland Pride it has been grown with great suc- 
cess by canners and market gardeners, who pronounce it “the 
very best second early and main crop Tomato they have ever 
grown.” The fruit is a beautiful bright red color, magnifi- 
cent size and handsome, smooth shape. The vines grow vig- 
orously and produce abundantly until killed by frost.
