77. The "President" Tomato 



Bolgiano's Grand New Introduction For 1930 



The "President" 

 Tomato 



The "President" Tomato is one of the hand- 

 somest tomatoes grown. It has an exceptionally 

 fine red color. Mild, delicious flavor. The fine 

 breeding and careful selection of this strain shows 

 up in the fruit. It is absolutely free from cracks. 



The "President" Tomato ripens 

 earlier than many varieties that are 

 usually planted for early use and is 

 an abundant and continuous bearer. 



The "President" Tomato produces 

 vines that are well set with fruit, 

 bearing from the ground to the top 

 of the vine. At times the vines are 

 so full that they can hardly hold all 

 the fruit that they produce. The 

 vines are short jointed, vigorous and 

 healthy. So pure in type, they are 

 almost identical in all respects. They 

 keep vigorous and green until frost 

 and then are full of fruit. 



The "President" Tomato produces at every joint large clusters of good size, smooth, firm, beautifully 

 shaped fruits, uniform in shape, color and size. They ripen evenly and color up well. 



The "President" Tomato is decidedly disease resistant. It has proven absolutely blight-proof when 

 other crops, side by side, were ruined with blight. 



The "President" Tomato produces but very few seeds; the seeds are therefore well matured, full of 

 life and vigor and will germinate quickly and produce strong, vigorous, thrifty plants. 



The "President" Tomato being such an extremely shy seeder and this being the first season we have 

 any seed to offer, we suggest that you send in your order as early as possible before our limited supply 

 is exhausted. Pkt. 25c and 50c; oz. $2.25; V 4 lb. $7.50, lb. $25.00, postpaid.

 stock, we are now able to offer in the Arlington. Strain of Marglobe a tomato

TWENTY BUSHELS FROM A 25c PACKAGE 



Under date of March 9th, 1929, Mrs. 'J. W. Chamberlain, of Bay Minette, Ala., ivrote: "I planted one 25c package of your 

 Arlington Strain of Marglobe Tomato and they were fine. I raised 20 bushels of good, firm, meaty tomatoes. .4s my 

 neighbors said, I canned bushels and bushels and made 31% quarts of catsup and gave away tubs of them, also hampers 

 and I never seemed to miss them. Seeds were, planted in open ground and bore tomatoes four weeks after transplanting. 

 I had ten rows 90 feet long."
