We consider the Marglobe Tomato to be the 

 most important introduction in our 

 generation 



To begin with Marglobe is resistant to 

 Nail-Head Rust and Fusarium Wilt. 

 This in itself is a fundamental reason for 

 its general acceptance. Behind this, 

 however, is the fact that it is one of the 

 most perfect shipping Tomatoes that has 



Dr. Fred J. Pritchard. U. S. D. A., the originator of the 

 Marglobe Tomato and one of this country's greatest plant 

 breeders. 



ever been developed. In general appear- 

 ance it surpasses any we have seen. It 

 has the true globe shape with a brilliant 

 scarlet color. Probably the reason for 

 its fine appearance is the tremendous 

 vigor and health of the vine. We have 

 seen a fifty acre crop in Florida that 

 actually made over ten pickings. Many 

 big receivers have insisted that their 

 growers plant nothing but Marglobe. 

 It is possible that there still are some 

 growers who have not tried Marglobe. 

 To all such, we cannot too strongly urge 

 your immediate acquaintance with it. 

 It has proven its value. 



For the fifth successive year, we want 

 to e.xtend our felicitations and gratitude 

 to Dr. Fred J. Pritchard, of the United 

 States Department of Agriculture, the 

 man who originated Marglobe. Just 

 about at the close of the war Dr. 

 Pritchard completed some crosses be- 

 tween the Livingston Globe and a French 

 variety. Marvel of the Market — the 

 latter having certain skin characteristics 

 which seemed promising. By 1924 the 

 selections from this hybrid were far 

 enough fixed for preliminary distribu- 

 tion and trial. Since that time Mar- 

 globe's success has been phenomenal. 

 The growers of Dade County, Florida 

 have even suggested raising a memorial 

 to Dr. Pritchard in appreciation of what 

 he has done.
