THE NO. 1 TOMATO FOR THE GREEN-WRAP TRADE 



Stokes Master Marglobe is generally conceded to be one of the great varieties. It is now in its thirteenth generation 

 of selection and has been developed over a nine-year program. Its present wide acceptance comes as a result of 

 the most detailed planning, supported by thoroughness and care in developing these plans. It has required 364 

 acres — all Government Certified — for the production of our 1937 seed supply. We have never had enough seed. 



Almost any good thing is imitated by those who are unwilling to lay their own groundwork. Planters desiring 

 the genuine Stokes Master Marglobe must look for it in our special tamper-proof container which is here illus- 

 trated. For your protection, and for the protection of our own heavy investment, — running well into five figures, — 

 the name Stokes Master Marglobe is now guarded by a registered trade-mark. 



The 1936 season has further shown the dominant place this variety holds in the industry. At one of the New 

 York Tomato auctions we recently visited, a block of Stokes Master Marglobe sold for the record price of $7.25 

 per lug. That, of course, is exceptional, but day after day this strain brought the high money. When a variety can 

 make such a showing in the most competitive market in the world, there must be strength behind it. 



Stokes Master Marglobe has been bred both as a shipping and as a manufacturing Tomato. Both require heavy 

 production, and that has been our first consideration. No Tomato can now attain full success on the large northern 

 markets unless it has depth and interior solidity. The consumer rightly demands that extra slice, and the tradesman 

 rightly demands keeping quality. 



The manufacturer of Tomatoes must have a raw product high in solids, low in mold count, and pleasing in 

 flavor. These are assured in Stokes Master Marglobe by its interior structure, its freedom from blossom-end scar, 

 and a richness of taste that has seldom been equaled. Production 

 figures in excess of 16 tons per acre were attained with the variety 



in New Jersey in the 1936 crop, this regardless of a loss of at least SUMMARY:
