MASTER MARGLOBE-FSU Strain 



TN OFFERING FSU, a new and greatly enlarged 

 A strain of Master Marglobe, we are giving the ship- 

 ping trade what is perhaps the most important type 

 improvement in a decade. Here is one item in com- 

 merce, the introduction of which does not have to be 

 postponed until the end of the war. It is ready for you 

 now. 



Ever since 1927, Stokes Master Marglobe /now in 

 its nineteenth generation of single plant selection/ 

 has been generally acknowledged to be the most per- 

 fectly formed shipping Tomato that has been offered 

 the green-wrap trade. It consistently develops fruit 

 with a depth to width ratio in excess of 90% — an 

 unusually high figure. This depth factor was eventu- 

 ally responsible for smaller fruit. 



FSU is now in the F 6 generation of a U.S.D.A. X 

 Stokes Master Marglobe cross. The fruit is approxi- 

 mately 2 5% larger than either parent, and under 

 normal conditions will develop a high proportion of 

 the crop in a 6 x 6 size or larger. The interior qualities, 

 solidity, color, flavor, etc. are similar to the Master 

 Marglobe parent. It is a dual-purpose Tomato, — 

 equally valuable to the shipping and the canning trade.
