KILGORE’S NEW IMPROVED MARGLOBE. (72 days.) 
This new improved strain was developed by us from an indi- 
vidual plant selection made in a field of regular Marglobe a 
number of years ago. The primary factors considered in de- 
veloping this strain were larger size fruit and increased earli- 
ness, along with a more open or spreading plant growth. The 
plant growth is very open and spreading, somewhat similar 
to the old pink Livingston Globe in this respect. The plant is 
loaded with uniformly large size, firm, very deep globe shaped, 
smooth, red fruits, far superior to regular strains of Marglobe, 
and it begins producing fruits a week earlier than other strains 
of Marglobe, just as early as Grothen Red Globe. This new 
strain should be given a trial by every Florida tomato grower.

FLORIGLOBE OR MARHIO. (75 days.) This is a 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. A vigorous grow- 
er and heavy cropper of large sized, fancy, pink fruits.

KILGORE’S BRED-RITE MARGLOBE. (77 days.) This 
is an excellent strain of the old standard type of Marglobe. It 
produces a heavy, vigorous plant growth, resistant to nailhead 
rust, Fusarium wilt and other diseases. The deep globe-shaped, 
smooth fruits are heavy, thick walled, firm or solid, and are 
free of navel and blossom-end scars. The ridging at stem end 
has been practically eliminated. We have made selections for 
larger fruit size. Fruit ripens to a beautiful deep scarlet-red 
color. Our Bred-Rite strain consistently produces a very high 
percentage of fancy fruits which results in fancy prices.

PAN AMERICA (New-Wilt Resistant). (80 days.) This 
new variety bred and developed by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture from a cross between Marglobe and a wild Peru- 
vian red currant tomato selection, is extremely resistant to 
tomato Fusarium Wilt disease, as well as other foliage diseases. 
It makes a large, vigorous, robust, strong growing plant, with 
large leaves but with a fairly open vine growth. The vine 
growth and foliage is not quite as dense and heavy as that of 
Rutgers. The fruits are large, almost globular, smooth, very 
meaty, with thick walls, and ripen to a beautiful deep red or 
scarlet color. It is a few days earlier than Rutgers. In our 
trials on the west coast of Florida, this new variety shows much 
promise, either for staking or as a ground tomato, although 
it does not seem adapted to lower east coast conditions. It 
should be particularly useful in those regions having soils 
heavily infested with the Fusarium Wilt fungus, because it is 
much more resistant to tomato wilt than any other commercial 
variety yet tested. 
Seed supply extremely limited.

STOKESDALE, IMPROVED. (70 days.) This variety is 
quite similar to Grothen Red Globe in time of maturity and 
in vine growth, although our trials indicate it to be somewhat 
more vigorous with slightly larger, heavier leaves. The vines 
hold up somewhat longer and better than Grothen Red Globe 
and are very productive of an immense number of smooth, 
solid, deep globe-shaped, red fruits, but the fruits are smaller 
in size than Grothen Red Globe and Rutgers. For best results 
under Florida conditions, this variety should be grown on deep, 
fertile land, with plenty of moisture, in order to get large 
sized, fancy grade fruit.
