Rutgers. (Certified Seed.) 
This quickly gained a 
tremendous popular¬ 
ity. The heavy-yield¬ 
ing, very wilt-resistant 
vines are loaded with 
scarlet, deep Marglobe 
fruits, solid, heavy, 
excellent for shipping. 
They all ripen from the 
inside out instead of 
outside in. It excels 
all for the flavor of its 
juice. Fruit holds its 
fine, large size through¬ 
out all the season. Very 
fine for greenhouse. 
Rutgers Mother. Seed saved 
from selected mother plants. 
Bonny Best. (Certified.) An excellent 
extra-early. Fruits are medium-sized, bright scarlet, smooth, round, and even. 
Bonny Best, Super Standard Strain. A de luxe strain saved from selected plants. 
Marglobe. (Certified.) Midseason hybrid entirely immune from rust and wilt. 
Big, smooth, uniform scarlet globe, and a good cropper. Very valuable for can¬ 
ning and marketing due to its remarkable solidity. 
Master Marglobe. An extra-fine special strain for those who want the very best. 
Has heavier vines, is more productive, with very solid larger fruit. 
Pritchard. (Certified.) This fine 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. 
Stokesdale Mother. Seed saved from selected mother plants. Very fine.

round, uniform, and very solid.

tremely large, round, flattened shipper.

nearly the fruit-depth of Marglobe. Earli¬

clusters, are scarlet, solid, smooth, medium.
