Tomatoes—Continued 




MARGLOBE TOMATO 
MAIN CROP VARIETIES: 
Bo-Kay. We are sincere in our belief that this tomato is 
an outstanding main crop variety. It is wilt-resistant, 
and trials show it to be almost free from check or cracks. 
It is a very heavy cropper, and is large and smooth with 
dark red color inside and out. Its strong, heavy foliage 
makes it a valuable variety for planting on light soil. 
Also good for greenhouse forcing and staked or field 
growing. 78 days. 
Crimson Cushion, or Beefsteak. Fruit large; color bright 
scarlet; flesh solid and of good quality; cells small and 
few in number; very productive; fruit finely formed and 
of handsome appearance, 88 days. 
Grothen’s Globe. A new early maturing wilt resistant 
variety which is becoming popular in some sections for 
shipping. Similar to Break O’Day, but the fruits are of 
deeper scarlet and are free from objectionable yellow 
about the stem end. 78 days. 
Greater Baltimore. A red fruited, medium large, solid to- 
mato somewhat more desirable than the Stone in that 
it is a little earlier and more productive. Plants are strong, 
continuous croppers, bearing until killed by frost. No 
ridges or cracks, making it an ideal canner. 80 days. 
Golden Ponderosa. This is yellow Ponderosa equal in size 
to that magnificent variety. Sliced and served with the 
Purple Ponderosa, it makes a highly decorative and ap- 
petizing salad. 85 days. 
Marglobe “Wilt Resistant” (Certified). It is practically 
immune to Nail Head Rust and Fusarium Wilt. It is a 
hybrid from Marvel and Globe, of pure scarlet globe 
shaped type, having the fine characteristics of the Globe 
but more vigorous; a heavier producer and somewhat 
earlier—an exceptionally fine tomato, especially recom- 
mended for shipping. 78 days. 
New Stone. Large, smooth tomato; color bright scarlet; 
ripens evenly on the stem; solid; an excellent shipper; 
very productive; fine for canning. 85 days. 
Ox Heart. In form it is distinct, since it is almost exactly 
the shape of a heart as the name implies, and single 
fruits sometimes weigh more than two pounds. This sur- 

prising weight is due to exceptional size and solidity. 
When sliced, it does not show the large seed compart- 
ments of other tomatoes, but looks more like tender steak. 
This firm red flesh is non-acid, but instead of being flat- 
tasting it has a pleasing flavor. 90 days. 
Ponderosa. This is one of the largest varieties. Although 
somewhat irregular in shape it is good, both as a slic- 
ing tomato and for stewing. The fruits are of a purplish 
pink color; very solid and ripens early, continuing to do 
so until frost. 85 days. 
Rutgers (Certified). Has thick outer and inner walls of 
solid meat, and therefore very small seed cavities and 
little seed. It is globe shaped, scarlet-red color, resembling 
Marglobe. Ripens first in the center of the fruit, so that 
when red on the outside the Tomatoes are ripe all through. 
Rutgers is in great demand for all purposes. 75 days. 
BEST GREENHOUSE TOMATO 
Michigan State Forcing (Wilt Resisting). Recently de- 
veloped at Michigan State College especially for Green- 
house Growers. High productivity under restricted day- 
light conditions. Attractive, medium size fruits of rich, 
deep scarlet and free from blemishes. Are borne in clus- 
ters of five to eleven. Flesh thick and firm. We believe 
this is one of the best forcing tomatoes yet introduced. 
75 to 78 days.
