Rutgers. This superb va¬ 
riety, the very finest of , 
the Marglobe type, has J 
quickly gained a tre- J 
mendous popularity. J§ 
These heavy-yielding, 
wilt-resistant vines are 
loaded with scarlet, 
deep Marglobe fruits, 1 
solid, heavy, excellent : 
for shipping. These all 
ripen from the inside 
out instead of from the 
outside in. It excels all 
others for the flavor of 
its juice. The fruit holds its 
fine, large size throughout the 
season. Fine for greenhouse. 
Bonny Best. An excellent extra-early, 
between Earliana and Chalk’s Early Jewel. Fruits are medium-sized, bright 
scarlet, smooth, round, and ripen evenly. Our strain is extremely fine. 
Break O’Day. A blight-resistant cross between Marglobe and Marvana, with the 
solidity, size, and nearly the fruit-depth of Marglobe. Break O’Day is the earliest 
and the most prolific of the wilt-resistant strains. 
Marglobe. Midseason hybrid from Marvel and Livingston’s Globe, entirely im¬ 
mune from rust and wilt. Pure scarlet globe, with the size and fine qualities of 
Livingston’s Globe but earlier and a heavier cropper. Marglobe is very valuable 
for canning and marketing due to its remarkable solidity. 
Pritchard. This most popular main-crop variety is a medium large, very red, 
smooth, meaty globe with erect, medium dense vines. It is a very heavy cropper, 
requiring rich soil, well fertilized. Ripens just after Earliana and before Mar¬ 
globe. The flesh is red throughout, very firm, with thick inner walls. 
Stokesdale. Of Marglobe shape and color, but 1 to 2 ounces heavier, and maturing 
7 to 10 days earlier, at same time as Bonny Best. Quite free from stem-end 
crack. Ripens from the inside out, like Rutgers. The yield is remarkably heavy. 
A quick-maturing variety that will ripen in a short season.
