GREATER BALTIMORE 
Our strain has been carefully selected for large sized fruits, and for interior 
solidity. This is a very popular, midseason variety in many sections. The fruits 
are somewhat flattened, of good color inside and outside and produce abundantly. 
A yield of ten tons of fruit per acre is common with our strain. If you have been 
disappointed in other strains of Greater Baltimore, try ours. Last year we com¬ 
pletely sold out our stock of this variety. From present indications it will be 
repeated this year. 
GROTHEN’S RED GLOBE 
A new variety of the Break O’Day type developed in Florida. The vines have 
long stems like Break O’Dav, but the leaflets are somewhat larger, and more 
abundant. The vines stand up better than Break O’Day, and therefore help to 
protect the fruit from sun scald. The fruits are globe-shaped to slightly flattened, 
as large or larger than Break O’Day, with better external color than Break O’Day. 
The internal structure is very solid and meaty, and of a darker red color than 
Break O’Day. Ten tons of fruit per acre is not an unusual yield for this variety, 
some good growers producing greater yields. The crop matures at about the same 
time as Break O’Day. 
JOHN BAER (GENEVA STRAIN) 
This is one of the most popular strains of this early variety in New York State. 
We have been carefully staking and testing plant selections for a number of years, 
and think we now have a fine John Baer. The plants are vigorous and produce a 
good crop of globe to slightly flattened large fruits. 
“THE LANDRETH” 
This is an old popular variety for early growing. In recent years, we have 
been improving the size, uniformity, yield and solidity of “The Landreth” fruits and 
the uniformity of the plants as well. Some New York State canners highly praise 
this variety. The fruits are globular to slightly flattened and are very solid for this 
type. 
MARGLOBE 
If we were going to recommend only one variety of tomato, we would name 
our Marglobe, as it is suited to practically all conditions and soils, and the surest 
cropper of any on the market. 
Due to confusion in the three types of foliage which we formerly supplied in 
Marglobe, we have discontinued Strains A, B, and C, and are now offering only a 
medium heavy foliage type which seems to fit all uses of this variety. This is a 
selection from Strain A, and retains the fine globe shape of the fruits, as well as 
the heavy yielding qualities and the foliage of that strain. For those who wish a 
very heavy foliage, we now offer the Rutgers variety, and for the lighter types we 
have Grothen’s Red Globe. 
Ask your own State Agricultural Experiment Station about our strain of 
Marglobe. Not only is the Landreth Strain of Marglobe of fine globe-shape, but 
it produces larger crops than most other strains of this variety. Yield records 
were taken on strains of Marglobe at Penn State College in 1934. The results 
Were as follows: Total Yield
