GURNEY’S TOMATOES 
• MARGLOBE TOMATO 
Marglobe is a second-early, red-fruited variety 
equally suitable for trucking or canning. It 
produces large, smooth, meaty, globular, red 
fruits, which ripen uniformly and are relatively 
free from cracks. It attracted much favorable 
comment in commercial trials in the Miami- 
Homestead section of Florida last winter because 
of its freedom from nailhead rust and puffiness 
and the production of from 20 to 50 per cent 
more fruit than Globe, the variety commonly 
used there. The Marglobe fruits are very meaty 
and though early, ripen slowly, and therefore 
ship and keep well. Owing to their shape, 
solidity, color, and uniform ripening qualities, 
they make a splendid canned product and first- 
class pulp. Large yields of excellent fruit have 
been reported from nearly every region where 
this variety has been tried. Pkt., 5c; y 2 oz., 15c; 
1 oz., 25c; A lb., 70c; 1 lb., $2.00; 5 lbs., $8.95 
Postpaid.

tic in size, and are uniformly large throughout 
the season. Dwarf Giant is of compact and

• DAKOTA SUNSHINE 
We offer this wonderful new aster as the best 
aster novelty ever introduced. 
The color in these new asters is startlingly 
beautiful. A full ring of tubular petals surround 
the center, creating an airy, lace-like effect which 
is altogether charming. In color the flowers may 
be described as varying shades of Enchantress- 
pink, Apple-blossom, Deep-rose, Blue and Laven¬ 
der, but the disc, sometimes light yellow, some¬ 
times blue, brings additional variety in tint. 
We feel confident this glorious new strain will 
be acclaimed a distinct acquisition to modern 
floriculture. Pkt., 10c; !4 oz., 20c.
