Tomatoes for Forcing 



Our firm is looked to as headquarters for forcing Tomato seed. Our two strains are Super-Standard 

 Bonny Best and Forcing Marglobe. Each is a very superior stock and each has a definite place of its 

 own. Both of them have been grown under our own care and supervision and are offered with complete 

 knowledge as to their type purit\-, productiveness, germination, etc. Thev are vcrv superior strains. 



No. 80— SUPER-STANDARD BONNY BEST 



Da\ s to maturity, 95-130. The famous Bonny Best Tomato was introduced by W alter P. Stokes in 

 1908. Our firm has been looked to as headquarters for the variety since that time. With all respect to 

 the production methods of our competitors, we cannot report that their efforts on Bonny Best have 

 always brought credit to the industry. There are other good strains of Bonny beside our own, but there 

 are a number of badly run out strains. Many of the present types of Bonny have been allowed to deteri- 

 orate into a small unprofitable Tomato which cannot justify itself either in tonnage or in apjjearance. 



Super-Standard Bonny Best, now offered by us for the past eight >ears, combines all of the features 

 of the original Stokes introduction, with the added advantage of further and continuous selection. The 

 result is that this stock represents the highest type of Bonny it has been our privilege to handle. The 

 individual fruits average nearly one-half pound eac h. This stock is recommended either for greenhouse 

 or for intensive field cultivation. Price, delivered: pkt., $1.00; V2 oz., $3.00; oz., $5.00; Vi lb., $18.50. 



No. 81— forcing MARGLOBE 



Days to maturity, 100-1.1>. There are three principal reasons why Forcing Marglobe is so e.xtremcly 

 successful in the greenhouse. In the first place, it is far more resistant to disease than any other Tomato 

 we olTer. In the second place, it is a very prolific bearer, and in the third place, it has the two important 

 selling (pialities — fine appearance and hiigh table quality. This Forcing Marglobe is specially selected 

 st()< k which is as pure a t\ |)e as it has e\er been our privilege to offer. Price, delivered: pkt., $1.00; 

 1/2 OZ., $3.00; oz., $5.00; Vi lb., $18.50.
