Days to maturity, 130. We consider this the most profitable all-purpose 

 Tomato. This judgment is supported by customers' reports covering widely 

 var\ ing conditions and requirements. Six years ago we set ourselves the 

 task of developing a deeper, more solid, and more productive Marglobe. 

 Using Pritchard's original stock as our foundation, we have selected for 

 these points and now oiler: (1) A strain ^inch deeper, eliminating loss 

 from blossom-end scar and from flats; (2) an interior with distinctly smaller 

 seed-cavities, reducing loss by puff and adding greatly to the solid con- 

 tent; (3) a more open and restrained vine-growth which is fully 40 per 

 cent more productive; many run-out stocks of Marglobe have been very 

 unproductive. 



Probably never before has there been 

 a Tomato which, when sliced, was so 

 nearly solid. The grower who does not 

 plant Stokes' Master Marglobe may find 

 himself operating under a distinct handi- 

 cap, for it is the finest appearing Tomato 

 on the market.

Pritchard 



Marglobe quality with Bonny Best earliness 

 U. S. Dept. of Agriculture introduction in 1931, as Scarlet Topper 



Days to maturity, 120. This Tomato has been generally accepted as of outstanding value for 

 the early shipping season. Being a Marglobe X Cooper's Special hybrid, it has a definite self-topping 

 tendency. That means restricted vine-growth, which must be counteracted by heavy applications 

 of ammonia (fish, king crab, or tankage) in the early weeks to insure full production. The fruit is an 

 intense scarlet, both on its interior and exterior, and in structure is similar to Marglobe, having a 

 thick wall and unusual solidity and depth. Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; V^lb. $2. 



Master Marglobe and Pritchard 

 are sold in one ounce, V4-pound, 

 and pound sealed canisters for 

 your protection.

 \ ;iric tv twenty-five years ago, we have taken a par- 

 donable pride in helping to maintain its true worth. 

 M.m\ smaller and run-out strains have been offered 

 under the name of Bonny Best. This, our Bonny 

 Best Special, will prove to be particularly effective.

Gulf State Market 



Early. Globe-shaped. Solid. Ripens pink 



Da\s to maturity, 125. This variety has been 

 particularly valuable to the shippers of eastern 

 Texas. It will ripen slightly earlier than Livingston 

 Glribe and is of the true globe shape. The smooth, 

 firm fruits are borne on clusters of from five to 

 seven. The stock that we offer has had a careful 

 breeding program behind it and will give great 

 satisfaction.
