16th GENERATION. GENERALLY CONCEDED TO BE AMERICA'S FOREMOST SHIPPING TOMATO 



New Jersey Certified. 



Ratio, depth-to-width, 92 per cent. 



THE high money in the northern markets goes to 

 the Tomatoes that are uniformly large, deep, and 

 solid. The consumer has fixed this standard for she 

 invariably chooses a Tomato that she thinks will slice 

 well. The green grocer knows this and so chooses 

 the deep-fruited samples, but he watches two other 

 points, also. He wants size — 5 x 6 or 6 x 6 

 and he guards against loss by buying solid fruit. 



As Tomato breeders, we have worked hard and 

 long over Master Marglobe. There have been disap- 

 pointments, as there always are, but in the long run 

 we have gained ground. After sixteen plant genera- 

 tions, with an expenditure of approximately $30,000, 

 Stokes Master Marglobe has developed an average 

 depth-to-width ratio of 92 per cent — a most unusual 

 figure. The colored photograph opposite shows that. 

 What you do not see is the solid interior — a character- 

 istic of the Marglobe parent, Merveille de Marche. 

 Fred Pritchard's magic touch started all of this back 

 in the days of the first World War. What he sought 

 and found was resistance to disease. His Livingston 

 Globe X Marvel cross has brought millions of dollars 

 to the Tomato industry.

Our part in this development has been a humble 

 one. Perhaps the best to be said for it is consistency 

 of effort. Through war and peace, through good 

 times and bad, we have never relaxed on the breeding 

 program of Stokes Master Marglobe. The results 

 tell their own story. The 1939 stock is as near per- 

 fection as anything we have ever produced, and that 

 goes for all the qualities, including size, depth, solid- 

 ity, color, and uniformity of vine-coverage. 



When you buy Stokes Master Marglobe in our 

 tamper-proof canisters you are getting our prize 

 product. Perhaps we may be pardoned for believing 

 it represents the finest breeding work in America. 

 If you have planted unidentified stocks of Marglobe 

 and have been disappointed, don't condemn the va- 

 riety until you have tried Stokes Master Marglobe — 

 crop 1940. Our 770 acres under New Jersey Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture Certification represents an enor- 

 mous effort going back twelve continuous years. Our 

 40,000-pound seed harvest is already heavily booked 

 against. We urge that you cover your requirements 

 promptly.
