TOMATO—Continued 
This new introduction by the U. S. 
Marglobe Department of Agriculture is with- 
out doubt the most wonderful development ever offered 
tomato growers. We quote the following desciption 
given us by Dr. Fred J. Prichard, of the Bureau of 
Plant Industry, U. S. Department 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 de- 
lightful flavor, and are covered with a thick skin which 
hinders cracking. Moreover, the plants shade the 
fruits well and thus protect them from sun-scald. 
The Marglobe i is giving excellent results in both the 
shipping and canning regions and gives much promise 
of wide use within the next few years. In fact, after 
one season’s tests in southeast Florida approximately 
1,000 cars were shipped the following winter. With 
the exception of a few fields for a first early crop, Mar- 
globe will be grown almost exclusively in this region 
the present winter. Marglobe is giving excellentresults 
in shipping and canning regions throughout the east 
and middle west.” 
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 
scatlet in color, and only mildly acid; vines grow vigor 
ously without spreading, have abundant foliage fur- 
nishing adequate cover for the fruits without too much shade, and 
ripening its first fruits from 90 to 95 days. Marglobe is unsur- 
passed for table use and canning purposes, and is worthy of careful 
consideration of every tomato grower. Pkt., 25c; oz., 50c; 14
