We ofifer a most superb strain of this splendid type in point of earliness, uniformity, 

 and general desirability; particularly valuable for shipping; definite disease resistance 

 recommends this variety for use in sections infested • with Fusarium Wilt and Nail- 

 head Rust. Plants thrifty and heavily productive, of long bearing period. Fruits 

 uniform deep scarlet; large; uniformly globe-shaped; smooth, solid and of distinct 

 quality. 



MARGLOBE SUPREME 75 



As the result of our breeding work, this strain is much superior in size and uniformity 

 of fruits to the original Marglobe. The seed we offer is all grown at our Oakview 

 Seed Breeding Station under the supervision of our Tomato breeding specialists. 

 Recommended as the most outstanding strain of the variety.

 moderately large and spreading, long branches, broad, dark green foliage. Moderately 

 productive. Fruits are large, thick flat, fairly smooth, somewhat oblong in shape, 

 fairly deep stem and depressions, blossom end slightly protruding, are very heavy

Recently developed at Michigan State College especially for greenhouse growing. 

 High productivity under restricted daylight conditions. Attractive medium-sized 

 fruits, of rich, deep scarlet and free from blemishes, are borne in clusters of five 

 to eleven. Flesh thick and firm. We believe this is one of the best forcing 

 tomatoes yet introduced.
