TOMATO CRACKERJACK 
A Great Variety For Greenhouse Forcing 
Cracker jack produces ten times as many fruits as other varieties 
and under glass will make more money for you than any other crop. 
The fruit is solid, smooth, globe shaped, bright red and there is no 
waste, every tomato is saleable. Medium in size, just right as the 
grocers of our city puts it. It takes 3 to 5 Crackerjacks to a pound 
for this reason grocers prefer Crackerjack over the big sized tomatoes 
which are so hard to weigh unless cut in pieces. Nobody wants cut 
tomatoes, Crackerjack weighing without cutting is the sort desired. 
Crackerjack is a strongly self pollenizing variety, every bloom is sure 
fruit which is produced in bunches of 5 to 10 every 6 inches of plant 
growth. Once it starts to turn in color it ripens quickly and evenly 
to the core. Crackerjack wiH yield bigger sized fruit if grown 10 
degrees cooler than is required for other tomatoes. (Night tempera¬ 
ture of 55 deg.) 
One of our customers writes: I have been growing Crackerjack 
Tomato for the past four years with splendid results, getting on the

TOMATO—Gulf State 
In a field of Livingston’s Globe every vine was killed by 
blight but one. From this one vine originated Gulf State 
Market. This happened at Crystal Springs, Miss., where 
tomatoes are grown on an immense scale. Gulf State is a 
blight proof Livingston’s Globe. We offer seed grown by 
ourselves from originator’s stock seed. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; lb. 
$3.40, prepaid. 
about 80% of what we term 48 lbs. pack, that is that many 
tomatoes to a 10 pound box, which brings the 
highest price in our markets, especially when 
tomatoes retail for 40 or 50 cents per lb. We 
have grown tomatoes for the past 20 years— 
Comet and Sutton’s Best—but Crackerjack 
skins either kind. Another grower says: I 
grew Crackerjack in my greenhouses and in a 
single season made enough money to enable me 
to make a trip to Europe. Price: Pkt. 15c;

NEW TOMATO MARGLOBE 
Introduced by the U. S. Dept, of Agricul¬ 
ture under the supervision of Dr. F. J. Prit¬ 
chard from whom we received stoek seed. We 
grew a crop of Marglobe and saved the seed 
from the choicest fruits of the first setting to 
insure top notch quality. Marglobe is a mast¬ 
erpiece and we could write a long line of 
praise but will not do so, be¬ 
cause Marglobe although a 
new variety is already fam¬ 
ous. There is not an up to 
date gardener that has not 
either read or heard about it. 
You simply must grow Mar¬ 
globe and it is important to 
you to know that we have a 
high class seed. Description: 
Globe shaped, smooth, very 
large, averaging half a pound 
per fruit, bright red, and all 
meat. When you cut a Mar¬ 
globe it is like cutting an ap¬ 
ple, it is that solid. Almost 
coreless, ripens its fruit well 
around the stem, of fine flavor. 
Skin thick almost as early as 
Bonny Best with a longer 
picking season. Highly resistant to fusarium, nail head rust 
and puffiness of fruit. Also to a degree resistant to early 
blight, leaf mold and septoria leaf spot. Valuable for forcing 
when a big tomato is wanted. Marglobe is a variety in a 
class by itself that will make a back number out of many a 
good and popular variety as there is no tomato that can 
anywhere near compare with it in quality. We offer seed 
from our own growing saved from the choicest set fruit

LIVINGSTON’S GLOBE 
Early, distinctly globe shaped, smooth, firm-fleshed, of 
glossy rose color, tinged with purple and without the slightest 
tinge of yellow at any stage of ripening. The plants are 
short jointed, fruit in clusters of 3 to 7, making it an extra 
heavy producer. Hard to beat as a keeper and when picked 
quite green will ripen perfectly enroute to market. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 40c; lb. $3.40, prepaid. 
NORTON WILT RESISTANT TOMATO 
Similar in shape and season of ripening to Improved New Stone. 
Fruit solid, large, smooth, solid red. An excellent sort for shipping, 
ns a main crop market variety and for canning. Developed by the 
U. S. Dept, of Agriculture. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; % lb. 75c; 1 lb. $3.00.
