MARGLOBE (CERTIFIED)—100 Days 
Mar globe 
This variety is undoubtedly the best of all recent introductions. It was 
developed, named and introduced by the late Dr. Pritchard, of the Bureau 
of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, 
D. C. It has been vastly improved by us since its introduction by indi¬ 
vidual plant selection so that it is nearly perfect. It is globular in shape, 
deep red color, very little depression at the stem end, has few seeds and 
does not crack readily. The blossom scar is very inconspicuous. It has 
solid internal structure, no green core and is most productive, one of our 
ten acre fields in 1935 producing over 210 tons; that is at the rate of 20 
tons of red ripe fruits to the acre. The vines are robust and as wilt-re¬ 
sistant as any variety we have ever seen. It possesses everything desirable 
in character and is a most attractive tomato in every way. 
The northern market much prefers a red tomato to a pink. The growers 
have been using a Pink Globe because they could not get a red. Marglobe 
has been found to be the best tomato which can be grown in Florida and 
other parts of the South for shipping to northern markets. We recommend 
the Marglobe for market gardeners, kitchen gardeners and canners. The 
seed which we offer is all grown by us and is an improved strain of the 
original stock obtained from the late Dr. Pritchard. This variety will be 
more generally cultivated during the summer of 1936, as it is the surest 
cropper and therefore the most profitable of all varieties. We cannot say 
too much for our strain of Marglobe and we hope all our customers will 
order it.
