STOKES FOUNDATION STOCK 



MASTER MARGLOBE 



Perfection of fruit. A foremost shipper. 



Stokes Master Marglobe, after 24 years still maintains its style and 

 perfection. It has earned millions of dollars for the tomato industry. 



A U.S.D.A. introduction of 1 926. It is a cross between 

 Marvielle de Marche (Vilmorin) x Globe (Livingston) 

 mode and perfected by the late Dr. Fred E. Pritchard. 

 Its high resistance to Fusarium Wilt and to Nail Head 

 Rust virtually eliminated those diseases. After 23 years, 

 Marglobe is still a very important shipping variety. 

 This is in part due to the vigilance of the Stokes Com- 

 pany in maintaining their Master strain, v/hich is 

 generally looked upon as being* one of the most per- 

 fectly formed market tomatoes in existence. This has an 

 average weight of SVi ounces, a depth to width ratio 

 of 90%, smooth shoulders and a very solid interior. 



Many of the most successful growers and shippers of 

 tomatoes lean heavily on Stokes Master Marglobe. The 

 same is true of innumerable greenhouse growers. It is a 

 matter of common knowledge in the industry that the 

 Stokes organization has carried much of the responsi- 

 bility for maintaining this superb tomato.
