quality. Oz., 30c; 14 lb., $1.10. 
MARGLOBE —A main-crop, scarlet-fruited 
variety Introduced by the U. S. Depart¬

Claimed to be also resistant to “nail head 
rust,” which attacks the fruit. Fruit are 
medium size, smooth, solid and deep from 
stem to blossom. They have irregular cell 
structure. As the name would indicate, it 
is claimed to be a cross between Marvel

tained the best characteristics of each, ex¬ 
cept perhaps the solidity. Oz., 25c; 14 lb., 
80c.

clusters of four or five, round, smooth and

ket gardeners who want an early purple- 
fruited sort. Oz., 20c; 14 lb., 75c.

ston’s Globe. It is almost seedless. Flesh
