MASTER MARGLOBE • Strain Eight 



Large, More Productive, But Not So Deep. A Grand Stock 



MASTER MARGLOBE is now in its fifteenth year of single-plant selection. We believe this in itself establishes 

 a record. It has recently been a matter of satisfaction to us to note that in a number of Federal and state 

 experiment station trials Master Marglobe had been used as a check to establish the standard Marglobe type. 



Strain Eight has been under development for the past four years. In it we aimed at a different goal — size and 

 production in place of absolute perfection of form. Our primary aim was for the canning industry, but we soon 

 found that many shippers welcomed a Master Marglobe of larger size. This particularly applied to the older 

 producing areas where the soils are not as potent as they once were. 



Yes, it is true that Strain Eight will show a depth to width ratio of from 5 to 10 per cent below Strain Six, 

 but in many instances that is more than overcome by the size factor. Eight has much of the beauty of form and 

 interior solidity so long associated with Master Marglobe. Having a slightly heavier vine-growth, Eight requires 

 3 to 4 days longer for maturity than Six. 



It is difficult to over-emphasize the strong qualities of Strain Eight Master Marglobe for manufacture of Tomato 

 juice: Its color is bright red; its flavor is unusually sweet and pleasant; and it is free from serious blossom-end scar. 

 As is the case with all thick-wall varieties, there is some radial cracking. Apparently we are far from conquering 

 this trouble. 



Price, postpaid: Trade pkt. 25 cts.; ox. 50 cts./ V 4 lb. $1.50; lb. $5; 5 lbs. $22.50.

Your Master Marglobe Tomato has no equal. Valiant and Stokesdale 

 cannot give true report as they did not have fair trial. — F. C, Rochelle Park. 



The Stokesdale and Master Marglobe turned out to be very successful 

 and one of the finest crops we ever had. — B. H. Co., Pleasantville.

As to germination, they could not be better unless you have seed that 

 would germinate twins 100 per cent. I had wonderful reports on your 

 Master Marglobe. Good reports on Valiant and Stokesdale. — W. G. C, 

 Johnstown. 



We grew Master Marglobe. It was as perfect as any Tomato we ever 

 saw. We sell more Master Marglobe plants, wholesale and retail, than 

 any other variety. Next to it is your Stokesdale, one of the very best early 

 varieties that we grow for plant-sale. We put it on the market the first time 

 in 1937 and our customers who purchased plants of Stokesdale came for 

 more plants in 1938, with glowing reports of the large-size, fine-quality 



fruit. We use the best seeds we can get, regardless of the cost, in order to 

 maintain the quality of the plants we sell. We expect to use your Tomato 

 seed as long as we can get it. — D. E. Z., Chambersburg. 



MICHIGAN 



I cannot say enough about your Master Marglobe. They are disease- 

 resistant to the very end and ripen perfectly. They are very heavy bearers 

 under the same condition that the Valiant and Stokesdale were grown in, 

 and the Master Marglobe came through with flying colors. I just finished 

 picking them this week, October 14. They started to bear about August 

 10— A. C. B., South Haven. 



VIRGINIA 



Master Marglobe has continued to hold up very well and has produced 

 excellent crops. Stokesdale seems to give very good results on land which 

 is not infested with wilt. On wilt land it does down very badly, however. — 

 L. B. D., Blacksburg.
