 flesh firm, few seeds, and of very fine flavor and acid free. A good 

 keeper and shipper. It makes a very attractive package. (See engrav- 

 ing.) Price, oz. 45c, M lb. $1.40," lb. $5.00.

enormous size and remarkable 

 solidity. For local trade

 vate gardener and is conse- 

 quently well known 

 throughout the country.

In harvesting tomatoes 

 every effort should be made 

 to lessen the opportunity 

 for injuries to the fruit as 

 this permits the subsequent 

 entrance of decay organisms 

 and consequent loss. It is 

 also essential to lose as little 

 time as possible between the 

 time of harvesting and plac- 

 ing them on the market. 



The exact stage of ma- 

 turity at which to harvest 

 depends on the distance the 

 fruit must travel to market. 

 When they have reached the 

 pink or turning point is the 

 stage in which most harvest- 

 ing is done.

Marglobe 



Beautiful Color, Perfect Round Shape Wilt and Rust 

 Resistant. 



The result of seven years' labor by the originator 

 Prof. Pritchard of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, this new 

 tomato bids fair to supersede in popular favor every other 

 variety of its class. Extensive tests conducted in sections 

 where wilt and rust diseases were prevalent have proven 

 that it is immune therefrom. 



Marglobe is almost perfectly round; of large size, and 

 bright red in color. It is one of the most productive 

 tomatoes in cultivation, it being rare that a flower fails to 

 set. It is a vigorous grower and is as well adapted for 

 cultivation under glass as for the open ground. 



Marglobe is early and continues bearing over a long 

 period of time. It possesses a delicious flavor, and this 

 combined with its attractive appearance, its immunity 

 to wilt and rust, as well as to the tenaciousness of its skin, 

 which minimizes the cracking of the fruit, are certain 

 to insure a promising future for it. (See engraving.) 

 Price, oz. 90c, M lb. $3.00, lb. $10.00.

Stone. The plant is very robust, and ripens a remark- 

 ably large crop. The fruits are slightly flat- 

 tened but very solid, and of particularly good color. It 

 stands shipping better than most sorts, and is the best 

 of all scarlet varieties for main crop and general use.
