MARGLOBE TALON 
A most valuable all-purpose variety that has won its way to a surprising number of 
gardeners, shippers, and canners. Resistant to wilt and nailhead rust. Our strain is 
the true type, originally from the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 
VINES—Vigorous, medium green, heavy foliage that shades fruit well, inclined to be 
erect. 
FRUIT—Deep scarlet color, fully colored around the stem, globe shaped, smooth, thick 
walls, solid, of fine quality. 
MASTER MARGLOBE TALIP 
Resistant to Fusarium Wilt and Nailhead Rust and similar to regular Marglobe except 
it is a highly developed shipping strain producing a large number of unusually uniform 
heavy fruits of deeper shape. The fruits are noticeably smooth and free of defects. 
VINES—Vigorous, medium green, heavy foliage protecting fruits from sun. 
FRUIT—Deep globe shape, uniform, smooth, thick flesh walls with small seed cavities, 
very solid, deep scarlet, ripening fully around stem; of excellent quality. 
MATCHLESS TALUS 
A very dependable sort, in the medium late season; a good canner and may also be 
used in home and market gardens. 
VINES—Large, vigorous, of heavy foliage, exceptionally productive over a long season, 
bearing until frost. 
FRUIT—Bright red, large flat-oval, smooth, very meaty, solid, with small seed cavity. 
NORTON, WILT RESISTANT TARNE 
Excellent as a late or main crop sort for canning or shipping. Similar to Stone but wilt 
resistant. Developed by the U. S. D. A. 
VINES—Medium large, heavily productive on wilt-infested soil. 
FRUIT—Rich red, large, oval, solid, smooth, and of excellent quality. 
PRITCHARD or Scarlet Topper TIMID 
The last wilt-resistant variety developed by Dr. Fred J. Pritchard of the U. S. Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture. An all-round, second early variety for home, market, shipping, 
and canning. Color of fruit not as good as those of the Rutger's variety. 
VINES—Medium, distinctly self-topping, vigorous, and heavy. Can be planted closer 
together than most sorts. 
FRUIT—Beautiful, smooth, globular shape; medium scarlet color; thick walls and solid 
flesh; mild flavor. 
RED ROCK TAPER 
A main crop canning variety of great merit. Our strain especially prized by a large 
number of canners. Although similar to Stone, it is quite distinct for having better 
color. 
VINES—Medium to large in size; a very vigorous, healthy grower. 
FRUIT—Deeper red than Stone, round, very solid, meaty; colors up well, fine flavor. 
RUTGERS TITAN 
A recent introduction of the New Jersey Experiment Station; it is to be highly recom¬ 
mended for market, canning, and for juice. Developed and recommended for its uni¬ 
form deep red coloring of flesh and skin and its wilt resistance. Has become popular 
as a green wrap shipper in Florida and Texas. 
VINES—Strong, compact vine growth, widely adapted, protects fruit well, very prolific. 
FRUIT—Bright deep scarlet color ripening from inside out, globe shaped, fleshy, firm, of 
excellent quality. 
SAN MARZANO or King Humbert (Italian Pomodoro) TIOIP 
A rather small fruited variety which is an important sort in California as well as with 
canners in other parts of the United States for making tomato paste and canning 
whole. 
VINES—Medium, somewhat open and upright with deep green foliage, bears fruits 
in clusters; very prolific. 
FRUIT—3 inches long by U /2 inches across, or oblong; two celled, very thick flesh 
wall; deep scarlet red, scarcely any juice and very mild flavored.
