669C Marglobe certinea stock) 
The popular wilt and rust-resistant tomato (73 days) 
In breeding and selecting our stock of Marglobe, we have endeavored 
_ to secure a strain that will produce the maximum yield of large-sized, 
smooth, uniform, bright red fruits that are suitable for long distance 
f shipping, canning, or for juice production. Vigor, size of vine, and 
wilt-resistance have also been considered: the result is a tomato which 
is definitely superior to most strains of this variety. Fruits weigh 
6% to 7 ozs., are globular, smooth, and with small blossom-end scars. 
The interior is remarkably solid, with small cells and heavy walls. 
_ Delicious and mild in flavor. Vines are heavy and spreading, with 
_ abundant foliage, and are wilt-resistant to a high degree.

705 Super Marglobe ¥ 
An outstanding tomato (75 days) 
A truly outstanding strain of this most popular of all tomatoes. 
Super Marglobe is selected for a short, compact, resistant vine with 
foliage which will protect the fruit from sunburn and allow it to 
develop the richest possible scarlet color; for heavy yield, and for an 
extra large sized fruit still retaining globular shape and refinement 
from end to end. The solid interior makes for good canning and 
firmness in shipping. 
The fruit of Super Marglobe weighs 7 to 8 ounces, is deep, almost 
globular, with only a minute scar at the blossom end, and a stem 
end that makes picking easy. The outside color is bright scarlet, the 
interior thick walled and firm—the quality unbeatable. This tomato 
will exceed your expectations. Pkt. 15¢; 14 oz. 35¢; oz. 60¢; %4 Ib. $2.15.

All-America Winner in 1941 (58 days)

_ Earliana maturity, and it has already gained very great favor. It 
is high yielding, and begins to bear heavily during the earliest part 
of the season. Fruits are full red, about 3 inches across, and flattened 
_ globe shape. Vines are not large, and can stand both rich soil and 
close planting. We suggest that you give it a trial.

Certified vs. Standard Seed 
Certified seed is produced from crops inspected by officials of State Agricul- 
tural Departments and found true to name and free from disease. Our un- 
certified seed is produced from the same stock and under the same conditions 
but has not been inspected for certification. Customers who purchase the 
certified seed gain the benefit of inspection by an expert and disinterested 
third party in addition te our own breeders’ and growers’ work. 
Cultural Suggestions 
Sow seeds in a hotbed, greenhouse or in shallow boxes in the house, 6 or 7 
' weeks before the usual timein your locality for setting out the plants. Make 
sowings in rows 4 to 6 in. apart and cover seed 1% in. deep. When the plants 
are about 2 in. high, transplant singly to 3-inch pots or into shallow boxes 
4 in. apart each way. Transplant in the open ground, after all danger of 
frost is past, 3 to 4 ft. apart each way. Early maturing varieties may be 
sown directly outdoors after danger of frost, and the plants later thinned 
to stand 3 ft. apart: Cultivate frequently. A packet will produce about 
300 plants; an oz. about 2,500 plants; 2 ozs. produce enough plants for an 
acre. Days to maturity are from the time the plants are set in the garden.
