Our Tomato variety List Includes Only Those Varieties Best Adapted to Florida and the South 
TOMATO (Continued) 
Glovel ( New -) (92 days.) Seed supply very limited. 
_____ This new variety of shipping tomato was de- 
i u ■ veloped by the U. S. Dept, of Agricul- 
BRED-RITE ture and the Florida Agricultural Ex- 
■HXZXai periment Station co-operating. It is 
the result of a cross between Globe and 
Marvel, having the same parentage as Marglobe, but 
it is not a selection from Marglobe. It is a few days 
earlier than Marglobe. The vine growth is vigorous 
and decidedly more open than Marglobe, making it 
easy to spray and to pick the fruit. The fruit is of 
deep globe shape, firm, smooth, and notably free from 
growth cracks, and ripens to a pink color. In the green- 
wrap stage Glovel is slightly darker green than globe, 
but somewhat lighter than Marglobe. Tested at the 
Homestead, Fla., Experiment Station during the last 
four seasons, Glovel has consistently outyielded other 
standard commercial varieties and maintains its large 
size in successive pickings. It is highly resistant to 
Fusarium wilt and to nailhead rust. Because of its 
adaptability to Florida where it was originated, and 
because of its splendid showing in commercial test 
plantings on the lower east coast of Florida during the 
past four years, this variety should be given a trial by 
every Florida Tomato Grower. Pkt. 5c; 14 oz. 55c; 
oz. $1.00; 141b. $3.00; lb. $10.00. 
Kilgore’s Special. (90 days.) The plants of this 
—————— variety produce a very heavy 
yield of early, large, smooth, fancy 
BRED-RITE fruits of a perfect globe shape and 
KQOEQi very deep from stem to blossom 
end. They are extremely dark green 
in color, and ripen uniformly to a beautiful deep 
scarlet. The outstanding feature of this variety is the 
hardness and firmness of the fruit and its resistance 
to puffiness, making it definitely the finest shipping 
variety in existence. Our tests indicate that this va¬ 
riety is resistant to nail-head rust, phoma, and other 
fruit rots. Pkt. 5c; 14oz. 20c; oz. 30c; 14 lb. 85c; lb. $3. 
Kilgore’s New Floriglobe. ( New ) (95 days.) 
. .. This is a new wilt-re- 
■;iw.i. i rHM sistant, pink Marglobe. Our strain of 
RRFn-RITE this ^ as been especially developed for 
uniformity, freedom from cracking, 
smoothness at the stem end, and for a 
deep globe shape. The plant is a vigorous grower, and 
very heavy cropper of large sized, fancy fruits, which 
ripen to a deep pink. We have bred this strain to be 
surprisingly free from growth cracks. We have had 
glowing reports from growers on the East Coast of 
Florida who tested this strain last season. Don’t fail 
to give it a trial. Pkt. 5c; 14oz. 30c; oz. 55c;
