TOMATO (Cont.) 
MARGLOBE 
We offer a most superb strain of this splendid type in point of earliness, uni- 
formity, and general desirability; particularly valuable for shipping; definite 
disease resistance recommends this variety for use in sections infested with 
Fusarium Wilt and Nail-head Rust. Plants thrifty and heavily productive, of 
long bearing period, Fruits uniform deep scarlet; large; uniformly globe- 
shaped; smooth, solid and of distinct quality. 
MARGLOBE SUPREME 
As the result of our breeding work, this strain is much superior in size and 
uniformity of fruits to the original Marglobe. The seed we offer is all grown 
at our Oakview Seed Breeding Station under the supervision of our Tomato 
breeding specialists. Recommended as the most outstanding strain of the 
variety. 
MICHIGAN STATE FORCING (Wilt Resistant) 
Recently developed at Michigan State College especially for greenhouse 
growing. High productivity under restricted day-light conditions. Attractive 
medium sized fruits, of rich, deep scarlet and free from blemishes, are borne 
in clusters of five to eleven. Flesh thick and firm. We believe this is one of the 
best forcing tomatoes yet introduced. 
MINGOLD 
The earliest maturing good yellow fruited variety yet introduced. Developed 
by the Minnesota Experiment Station and awarded a Silver Medal in the 
All-America trials for 1940. Fruits medium size, globular, smooth and of fine 
flavor. Plants vigorous and productive. Color rich golden yellow.

co-operation with Canners League of California. A main crop variety. Strong 
productive vines with ample, rather light green foliage. Fruit large, 314 to 5 
inches in diameter, fairly smooth, very solid, seed cavities small, Has some 
resistance to Verticillium wilt. 
MORSE’S 133-6 
Vigorous, moderately heavy vine, late or main crop, heavily productive. Fruits 
globe-shaped scarlet, very solid and heavy. Desirable canning and market 
variety with solid interior and few seeds. Used principally in Central and 
Northern California. Considerable resistance to Verticillium wilt. 
MORSE’S SPECIAL EARLY NO. 498 
One of the best varieties in the Earliana class. Fruits a little nearer globe 
shape than Spark’s Earliana and averaging slightly larger. Color bright scarlet. 
Adaptable for early cropping in all sections of the United States but mainly 
used in the northern and western states. 
NORTON 
A resistant strain of Stone developed by the U. S. D. A. Fruits usually a little 
deeper than Stone but otherwise much the same. Extensively used for canning 
where Fusarium wilt is present in the soil. 
OX HEART 
Very popular late home garden variety. Fruits very large, often weigh 1—2 lbs. 
or more; heart-shaped; pink; flesh solid with few seeds, of mild flavor, and 
very choice for salads. 
IMPROVED PEARSON 
Developed by Dr. O. H. Pearson of the University of California and improved 
by Ferry-Morse Seed Co. A few days later than Pritchard and with somewhat 
shorter, more compact vine. Fruit scarlet, medium size, smooth, flattened 
globes, very thick skinned; colors well at the stem end. A new variety untried 
in most parts of the country, becoming popular in the coastal areas of California 
for shipment and canning.
