(ftotken 6 Globe ,932' ORIGINATION 



A SINGLE PLANT DEVELOPMENT OUT OF BREAK O'DAY 



' I ^HIS Tomato has made many friends, especially on 

 the lower east coast of Florida where the trade re- 

 quired a larger Tomato than apparently was available 

 under their conditions for Marglobe. Grothen's Globe 

 has been particularly profitable there for the fall crop. 

 Although, generally speaking, it has nowhere near the 

 perfection of form of Stokes Master Marglobe, the size 

 factor has been greatly in its favor, and many of the larger 

 growers have found Grothen's Globe to be very profitable. 

 In season it is slightly earlier than Marglobe. Its vine- 

 growth is distinctly more open. 



The stock we offer has been grown in Pennsylvania and 

 has been certified by the Pennsylvania State Department 

 of Agriculture. We look on it as the best available type 

 of Grothen's Globe.

GRO 1 iii :s S GLOBE 



A PROMISING PINK-FRUITED TOMATO OF THE MARGLOBE TYPE 



U. S. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE 

 1 936 INTRODUCTION 



Glovel has been developed from the same F.J. Pritchard cross of Livingston's Globe X Marvel, which was the 

 Marglobe parentage. Glovel has been perfected by Mr. William S. Porte, of the Bureau of Plant Industry, fol- 

 lowing out one of the pink lines instead of scarlet. The present result is a Tomato slightly earlier than Marglobe, 

 with a slightly more open vine and with, perhaps, even greater disease-resistance. Some growers have reported 

 Glovel to be slightly larger than Marglobe and a little heavier yielder. It is new to most of the trade and has, 



as yet, not had wide acceptance. The 

 stock we offer has been grown in 

 Pennsylvania and certified by the 

 Pennsylvania State Department of 

 Agriculture. It is a pure type of Glovel 

 and one which can be very highly 

 recommended. 



The average resistance of firm, ripe 

 Glovel fruits to crushing stresses was 

 13.4 pounds, slightly higher than for 

 Marglobe. Glovel developed color in 

 70° F. on ratio of 72% as 



49' c 



for Marglobe at end of 



storage at 

 against 

 one week.
