Bolgiano's "Three Special" Tomatoes 



244. The Arlington (Strain of Marglobe) 



Tomato 



This tomato is the result of expert and painstaking selection 

 for the past several 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 tomato selected to an excellence 

 that even sui-passed Mr. Baer's fondest hopes. 



The Arlington's strong, healthy, disease resistant vines con- 

 tinue 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- The Arlington "Strain of Marglobe" Tomato

249. The Washington Tomato 



A Marvelous Wilt-Resistant Tomato Bred to the 

 Highest State of Perfection 



In repeated tests, planted at the same time and given 

 identical cultural conditions, other varieties were completely 

 destroyed by wilt while The Washington was free from wilt 

 and produced a good crop of fruit. 



The Washington Tomato produces a heavy crop of medium 

 large, smooth, solid, beautiful red tomatoes. Free from 

 cracks. Few seeds, consists almost entirely of plump solid 

 meat. Mild, delicious, sweet flavor. Matures about the same 

 time as Stone and Greater Baltimore, but a much heavier 

 yielder of more solid fruit. Fruits in large clusters. A won- 

 derful drought resister. From the time it begins to ripen 

 continues to bear heavily until killed by frost. Large vines 

 that protect the fruit from the hot sun. 



Produces a heavy crop either on wilt infested soils or on 

 soils that are free from wilt. 



Price: Pkt., 10 and 25 cts.; oz., 50 cts.; % lb., $1.65; lb.,

The Bolgiaino Tomato 



The Potato Leaf Tomato 



Blossoms continually. Every vine is just loaded with perfect red 

 solid tomatoes all during the season. The Bolgiano Tomato is two 

 weeks earlier than Earliana. First fruit just as perfect as the prime 

 fruit of the season. The heavy potato leaf foliage protects the fruit 

 from sun scalds and blisters. The large stem set clusters make it a 

 profitable tomato for the grower. Never have we received such ac- 

 knowledgments from any of our own creations as we have the "Bol- 

 giano" tomato. Pkt., 10c and 25c; oz., 45c; 14 lb., $1.35; lb., $5.00,
