packed for market. 
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.

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.

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. It makes a large, vigorous, ro- 
bust, 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, very 
deep globe shaped, smooth, 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. 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.
