LANDRETHS’ SEEDS COME FROM A LINE OF CAREFULLY BRED ANCESTORS

TOMATO—Continued 
* LANDRETHS’ SUNRISE (CERTIFIED)—85 days 
We believe this strain is superior to others in the Earliana Group. The vines are small and compact 
but produce an abundance of large, red, smooth fruits under good cultural and soil conditions. For best 
results, plant Landreths’ Sunrise on good soil, and closer in the row than larger vined varieties.

★ MARGLOBE (CERTIFIED)—100 days 
This variety is undoubtedly the best of’all recent 
introductions. It was developed, named and intro¬ 
duced 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 individual 
plant selection so that it is nearly perfect. It is 
Marglobe 
globular in shape, deep red color, very little de¬ 
pression at the stem end, has few seeds and does not 
crack readily. The blossom scar is very incon¬ 
spicuous. It has solid internal structure, no green 
core and is most productive, one of our ten acre 
fields in 1934 producing over 210 tons, which is at 
the rate of 21 tons of red ripe fruits to the acre. 
In 1936, six growers in Bucks County produced 
over 10 tons per acre with our Certified Marglobe. 
In Ohio, our Marglobe yielded tons more per 
acre than the so-called Master Marglobe. In this 
test it was stated that Landreths’ Marglobe had very 
nice tomatoes all through the season. It was their 
best variety. The vines are robust and as wilt- 
resistant 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 1938 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.

★ THE LANDRETH 
(CERTIFIED)—100 Days 
This variety is our own selection and is 
an improvement on the vast majority of 
those in the second early group. The 
fruits are large and solid. The external 
and internal color is a deep red, making it 
a good early canning tomato used exten¬ 
sively in New York. In 1936, at a test in 
Ohio, The Landreth produced a higher 
yield than the so-called Master Marglobe, 
Early Stone, Indiana Baltimore, Rutgers, 
New Stone, Nystate and Brown’s Special. 
The fruits were firm, and of good grade, 
and the vines were heavy and healthy. A 
grower in Bucks County produced over 10 
tons of fruits per acre last year.
