MARGLOBE WILT-RESISTANT TOMATO 
MARGLOBE WILT-RESISTANT 
Probably no tomato has created such intense interest 
since the introduction of our Wood’s Famous Brimmer. 
It was bred primarily to produce a red wilt-resistant 
tomato of the Globe type and exceeded all expectations. 
It is not only wilt-resistant, but is resistant to “nail-head 
rust” as well; is a splendid bearer, the fruits averaging 
one-half pound, firm, thick and mildly acid. Ripens per¬ 
fectly, does not crack easily and is of very superior quality. 
The fruits are of good size, smooth, solid, deep from stem 
to blossom, and are borne in clusters of 5 to 7 fruits. 
Marglobe has proved its ability to withstand long periods 
of wet and unfavorable weather conditions. Per pkt. 10c; 
oz. 40c; 2 ozs. 75c; % lb. $1.50; lb. $5.00. 
STONE 
The best main crop variety for all purposes and largely 
used for canning. Vine tall and prolific. Fruit smooth, 
large and uniform. Color bright scarlet. 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; M lb. 75c; lb. $2.25, postpaid 
GOLDEN QUEEN 
The Finest of the Large Yellow Tomatoes 
The superior flavor of the yellow varieties is bringing 
them into favor as table fruit, and those who think of a 
yellow Tomato as the rough fruit of the old yellow sorts 
will be surprised at this smooth, beautiful fruit which 
though large, is as smooth and well-shaped as the best of 
the red varieties, and of a fine and distinct flavor. 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 50c, M lb. $1.75, lb. $5.00, postpaid 
IMPROVED TROPHY 
Vigorous grower, producing heavy crops of deep red 
fruit; fine for all purposes. It is rather late. Per pkt. 5c; 
oz. 25c; 2 ozs. 40c; % lb. 75c; lb. $2.50, postpaid. 
JOHN BAER 
One of our earliest and most profitable varieties. Fruit 
globe shaped, bright scarlet in color, good size; solid, core- 
less and with few seeds. Vigorous and prolific.

TOMATO PLANTS—See Page 35 
SMALL FRUITED TOMATOES 
The fruit of these are largely used for making fancy 
pickles, preserves, etc. The plants are extremely pro¬ 
ductive. 
YELLOW PLUM 
The fruits average two inches in length and one inch 
in diameter, of a bright lemon-yellow; are solid, fleshy, and 
of excellent flavor. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 50c 
YELLOW PEAR 
Similar to the Yellow Plum, but the fruits have a slim 
neck or distinct pear shape. Per pkt. 10c; oz. 50c 
Small Fruited Tomatoes Mixed, 10c per package. 
RED PEAR-SHAPED 
This is a leading favorite for preserves and also to make 
“tomato figs.” The fruit is bright red, of true pear shape, 
and of rich distinct flavor. The larger plum-shaped red 
tomato, often sold under the same name, is not nearly 
equal to the true variety. Per pkt. 10c; oz. 50c 
STRAWBERRY, or HUSK TOMATO 
Plants of low-spreading growth and immensely pro¬ 
ductive. The small yellow fruits are each enclosed in a 
husk. Of very sweet flavor, highly esteemed for preserving 
or making pies. They are also excellent to eat raw as fruit. 
Per pkt. 10c; oz. 50c 
TOBACCO SEEDS 
Culture—A very clean piece of land is best for the 
tobacco plant beds, hence it is customary to burn a 
piece of land in the woods for plant beds. This de¬ 
stroys grass, weeds and insects, adds fertility through 
the action of the wood ashes, and leaves the ground 
in good order. The seeds are sown about February 
and protected by plant-bed cloth to keep off tobacco 
flies. When large enough and weather is settled (about 
June), set the plants out in highly manured or fer¬ 
tilized soil in S^-foot rows, 3 feet between the plants. 
Constant care must be given, cultivating, suckering, 
worming, etc. 
CONNECTICUT SEED LEAF 
An old, well-known variety. 
Per pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; X A lb. 75c; lb. $2.25, postpaid 
HAVANA 
Grown from seed imported from Vuelta de Aba jo. 
Per pkt. 10c; oz. 40c, postpaid 
IMPROVED WHITE BURLEY 
This strain is much superior to the regular White 
Burley. Per pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; ^4 lb. $1.10; lb. $4.00, 
postpaid. 
FOR TOBACCO WORMS apply either arsenate of 
lead or paris green with one of the dust guns. They 
apply the insecticides perfectly and the cost is small 
when it is remembered that they will last for years.
