244. The Arlington 



Strain of Mar globe 



Tomato 



This tomato is the result of expert and painstaking selection 

 for the past three years by Mr. John Baer, the famous tomato 

 seed specialist and hybridizer, from stock seed originally fur- 

 nished by Dr. F. J. Pritchard of the United States Department of 

 Agriculture, the originator of the Marglobe. 



Through Mr. Baer's diligent efforts and with such a splendid 

 tomato as the parent* stock, we are now able to offer in the 



Arlington Strain of Marglobe a to- 

 mato selected to an excellence that 

 even surpassed Mr. Baer's fondest 

 hopes. 



The Arlington's strong, healthy, 

 disease resistant vines continue to 

 thrive and produce fruit long after 



other varieties are gone. An immense bearer, as much as 21 tons to the 

 acre. Wilt resistant and also resistant to nail-head rust which attacks to- 

 mato fruits. Perfectly globe shaped, of a beautiful red color. It is a second 

 early main crop tomato. Delicious flavor, free from acid. Very meaty. Few 

 seeds. Medium sized fruit, from 7 to 9 ounces in weight. A good shipper. 

 Excellent home garden tomato. You owe it to yourself to give the Arlington 

 (strain of Marglobe) a trial in your 1928 garden. Pkt., 10c and 25c; Yz oz., 

 75c; oz., $1.25; >/i lb., $4.00; lb., $15.00, postpaid.

561a. Early "Aviator" Sugar Corn 



This extremely early large 

 ear sugar com is the first on 

 the market. Plants grow 

 about 31/2 ft. with ears close 

 to the ground. Ears 6 to 7 ins. 

 long, blocky in form ; 12 to 14 

 pearly white rows to the ear. 

 Large, sweet, plump grains of 

 purest white on well filled 

 ears. Market gardeners who 

 have tried this wonderful 

 early sugar corn are loud in 

 their praise of its exceptional 

 good quality that brings high- 

 est prices on the early market 

 and many who just gave it a 

 trial last year will plant their 

 entire acreage with it this 

 year. A gem for the home 

 gardener who enjoys produc- 

 ing the "First Earlies" in his own garden. Pkt. 10c; pt., 

 35c; qt., 65c, postpaid. Pk., $3.00; bu., $11.00. 



591. The "Trail -Blazer" Pea 



Before introducing this wonderful new, early pea, we made re- 

 peated tests in our trial gardens and also had it tried by many lead- 

 ing gardeners. We believe it to be the most surprising all-around 

 pea yet introduced. Its beautiful, large, deep green pods are filled 

 from tip to tip with big, sweet, richly flavored peas, and are so 

 abundantly produced on the vines that they are literally crowded 

 with pods from one end of the row to the other. Plants grow about 

 1% ft. A rich surprise is in store for those who plant the "Trail- 

 Blazer" pea this year. Pkt. 10c; pt. 50c; qt. 90c postpaid. Pk., 

 $3.75; bu., $14.00.
