TOMATO —Continued 
Marglobe 
Marglobe. —This Great New Tomato was introduced by the 
U. S. Dept, of Agriculture through the efforts of Dr. Fred J. Pritchard, 
of the Bureau of Plant Industry. 
Its fine appearance, great productiveness, deep globe shape and 
superb table qualities is giving it first place wherever known. Its 
spreading habits of growth enable it to bear large, perfect globe- 
shaped fruit in great abundance. In color it is a most beautiful 
scarlet, ripening well up to the stem. Its eating qualities, likewise, 
are very much superior to most of the common varieties. In the 
south, especially on the East Coast of Florida where there is danger 
of nail-head rust, “The Marglobe” has proven resistant to the disease, 
and is being planted almost exclusively to all others.

Marhio. —The Marhio Tomato originated in the greenhouses of 
the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, Wooster, Ohio, in the fall 
of 1928. It appeared as a single plant segregation for pink fruit color 
in Pritchard’s Marglobe, which was a hybrid between Marvel and 
Livingston’s Globe. The habit of plant growth is similar to Mar¬ 
globe. The fruit is resistant to fusarium wilt in about the same pro¬ 
portion as Marglobe. The color of the fruit is pink. They are large, 
smooth, round and deep, having thick meaty rind and cross walls 
and relatively few seeds. Almost all of the fruits grow to large size. 
The clusters have normally 5 to 7 buds each and under normal field 
conditions the blossoms all set and grow into large fruit.

and solid with very few seeds. Specimens weighing 3 pounds are

Ponderosa in this respect. The skin is pink, same as Ponderosa. 
The flavor is un.surpas8ed.

habit, and bears an early and heavy crop of deep globe-shaped fruit 
of the same rich scarlet color as Marglobe.

Rutgers. —The Rutgers tomato was developed and introduced 
by Lyman G. Schermerhorn of the New Jersey Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station. It is a selection from a cross between Marglobe and 
J. T. D. The fruits are medium to large, similar in shape to Mar¬ 
globe, except that it is more flattened at the stem end. It has thick 
outer and inner walls, with very small seed cavities, producing very 
few seeds. The flesh is firm and red. The ripening begins at the 
center so that when the fruits are red on the outside they are well 
colored throughout. It ripens about the same time as Marglobe 
and holds up better in size. It is adapted for canning, market and 
home garden and is particularly suited for the manufacture ot a fine 
flavored, highly colored juice.
