TOMATO (Continued) 

A Field of Staked Kilgore’s Improved Grothen Red Globe Tomatoes in Manatee County, Florida. 
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. 
Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c; oz. 40c; 4 Ib. $1.15; 1 lb. $4.00 
FLETCHER’S SPECIAL. (80 days.) The vine growth is 
vigorous, wilhstanding wet weather conditions better than 
other varieties. The fruit is smooth and averages larger than 
Marglobe, ripening uniformly to a beautiful deep red. It is 
very heavy and meaty with small seed cavities, which makes 
it resistant to puffiness and an ideal long distance shipper. 
An exceedingly heavy producer of large, globe-shaped fruits.

NEW EXTRA SELECTED GLOBE. (80 days.) This extra 
selected strain is one of the strongest and most vigorous grow- 
ers, and because of this vigor the plants stay green and in bear- 
ing condition, producing marketable fruits longer than most 
other strains of the pink globe variety. The plant has an open, 
spreading habit of growth, and is ideally suited for staking and 
pruning. Its smooth, perfectly globe shape fruits do not crack, 
and ripen to a beautiful deep pink color. This extra selected 
strain produces a very high percentage of large, smooth, uni- 
formly deep globe-shaped fancy fruits even on the top hands. 
No finer strain of this standard variety for Florida growing con- 
ditions can be found anywhere. 
Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c; oz. 40c; % Ib. $1.25; 1 Ib. $4.50 

PRITCHARD OR SCARLET TOPPER. (75 days.) The 
Pritchard was developed by crossing Marglobe with Cooper’s 
Special Self-Topper. It combines the good qualities of both 
parent varieties. Vines medium dense, compact, erect, self- 
topping. Fruits mature very early, several days earlier than 
Marglobe, are large, smooth, meaty, globular in shape and 
ripen uniformly to a very deep attractive red color, both 
exterior and interior. This variety is an enormous producer 
and therefore requires rich or liberally fertilized moist soil. 
Does especially well on Everglades muck. 
Pkt. 10c; % oz. 30c; oz. 45c; 14 Ib. $1.40; 1 Ib. $5.00 
GLOVEL. (80 days.) This variety comes from a cross be- 
tween Globe and Marvel. The vine growth is strong and 
vigorous. The fruit is of deep globe shape, large, firm, smooth, 
and notably free from growth cracks, and ripens to a pink 
color. It is highly resistant to Fusarium Wilt and to nailhead 
rust disease. 
Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c; oz. 40c; 144 Ib. $1.15; 1 tb. $4.00 
LIVINGSTON’S GLOBE, IMPROVED. (80 days.) An 
improved strain of the old Livingston’s Globe variety, popular 
in the Gulf States for many years. Our improved strain is 
very productive of fancy, perfectly globe-shaped fruits, hold- 
ing their large size and shape until the last pickings. Ripens 
to a beautiful deep pink. 
Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25e; oz. 40c; 44 Ib. $1.25; 1 Ib. $4.50 
PONDEROSA. (Brimmer.) (88 days.) A very large, pink- 
fruited variety. The fruits are more or less flattened, very 
solid and meaty with few seeds, and of splendid edible qual- 
ity. Recommended only for home gardens because its un- 
usual size and weight are disadvantages in shipping. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% oz. 35c; oz. 60c; 14 Ib. $2.00; 1 lb. $7.50 
OXHEART. (90 days.) A smooth, thick, tender and almost 
seedless pink-fruited tomato of delicious flavor. Rich soil 
adds greatly to its productiveness. This is an ideal variety 
for the home garden and for the local market. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% oz. 35c; oz. 60c; \%4 Ib. $2.00; 1 Ib. $7.50
