Grothen Red Globe 
An Outstanding Tomato Variety Developed Especially for Florida 
KILGORE'S SPECIAL CUBAN MARGLOBE. (95 days.) Af¬ 
ter having made special individual plant selections for a 
number of years we have developed a strain of Marglobe to¬ 
mato seed especially adapted for Cuba and the West Indies. 
Cuban tomato growers everywhere are especially enthusiastic 
over the splendid results secured from this newly developed 
strain. The outstanding features of this special Cuban Mar¬ 
globe are smaller vine growth, permitting better means for 
spraying and dusting, and easier harvesting of the fruit; 
earlier maturity, heavier yield of exceedingly deep globe- 
shaped fruits, with smooth stem ends and freedom from 
cracking. The fruits are deeper globe-shaped, smoother, and 
much firmer, with thicker flesh than most strains, making 
them hold up better for long distance shipment. This is an 
ideal strain of Marglobe tomato for Cuba and the West 
Indies.

IMPROVED RUTGERS. (98 days.) A vigorous growing, 
hardy, very heavy producing variety of red fruited tomato, 
producing large, globe-shaped fruits over a long season. The 
large fruits are very firm, free of puffs, with thick outer 
and inner walls of solid meat, making them ideal for long 
distance shipments. Especially well suited for light sandy 
soils. This variety should be given very light applications of 
fertilizer until the fruits begin to set. Stands more rain than 
other varieties. 
Pkt. 5c; Vi oz. 25c; oz. 40c; Va lb. $1.15; 1 lb. $4.00. 
FLETCHER'S SPECIAL. (90 days.) The vine growth is vig¬ 
orous, withstanding wet weather conditions better than any 
other variety. The fruit is smooth and averages larger than 
Marglobe, ripening uniformly to a beautiful deep red. It is 
very heavy and meaty with small seed cavities, which makes 
it resistant to puffiness and an ideal long distance shipper. 
An exceedingly heavy producer of large, fancy, globe-shaped 
fruits.

KILGORE'S NEW FLORIGLOBE OR MARHIO. (95 days.) 
This is a new wilt-resistant, pink Marglobe. Our strain of 
this has 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. 
Pkt. 5c; Vi oz. 25c; oz. 40c; Va lb. $1.15; 1 lb. $4.00. 
KILGORE'S IMPROVED GROTHEN RED GLOBE. (87 days.) 
This is a very early maturing, high yielding variety well 
adapted to old tomato land. The plants are of open growth 
with rather small foliage requiring rich, deep, moist land for 
best results, maturing fruits about 10 days earlier than Mar¬ 
globe, and ripening to a beautiful red color. A very heavy 
producer of smooth, deep globe-shaped, large fruits, sizing up 
well clear to the top of the plants, producing a very high 
per centage of fancies. The fruits are firm and solid, and the 
interior ripens up slowly, making this variety an exception¬ 
ally good shipper. Exceedingly high yields of large fruits, of 
excellent shipping quality, are the main factors recommend¬ 
ing this variety. 
Pkt. 5c; Vz oz. 25c; oz. 40c; Va lb. $1.25; 1 lb. $4.50. 
KILGORE'S IMPROVED GLOVEL. (92 days.) This new va¬ 
riety of shipping tomato was developed by the U. S. Dept, of 
Agriculture and the Florida Agricultural Experiment Sta¬ 
tion 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 Homestead, Fla., Experiment station, Glovel has 
consistently outyielded other standard commercial varieties 
and maintains its large size in successive pickings. It is 
highly resistant to Fusarium Wilt and nailhead rust. Be¬ 
cause of its adaptability to Florida where it was originated, 
and because of its splendid showing in commercial test plant¬ 
ings on the lower east coast of Florida, this variety should 
be given a trial by every Florida Tomato Grower.

KILGORE'S BRED-RITE COOPER'S SPECIAL SELF-TOPPER. 
(92 days.) This is a very heavy producer of extremely early 
globe-shaped fruits. We have made special selections to in¬ 
crease the size and the percentage of fancy fruits. The plants 
are hardy, and are loaded with fine, solid, smooth fruits 
which ripen to a beautiful pink color. This variety requires 
low, moist land with heavy applications of fertilizer to make 
large size, fancy fruits.
