The Landreth—100 Days, seed; 75 Days, plants. 
This variety is our own selection and is an 
improvement on the vast majority of those in 
the second early group. The fruits are large 
and solid. The external and internal color is a 
deep red, making it a good early canning 
tomato used extensively in New York. The 
fruits are firm, and of good grade, and the vines 
are heavy and exceedingly healthy. 
*%*LANDRETHS’ RED ROCK—115 Days, seed; 
86 Days, plants. This is a splendid late variety 
for canning. Plants and fruits are large and of 
good quality. 
%* MARGLOBE—100 Days. Landreth’s Strain of 
Marglobe is a vast improvement over the orig- 
inal stock, and has been perfected by individual 
plant selections. The fruits are globular in 
shape, deep red color and have solid internal 
structure. Landreths’ Marglobe is most produc- 
tive, yielding well over 10 tons per acre in 
many sections of the country. The vines are 
robust and as. wilt-resistant as any variety we 
have ever seen. We recommend the Marglobe 
for market gardeners, home gardeners and 
canners. The seed which we offer is all grown 
by us in our own fields. 
% PAN AMERICA—67 to 75 Days from plants. 
An entirely new tomato developed from a cross 
between Marglobe and the Red Currant tomato 
of Peru. More resistant to Fusarium wilt than 
any other variety. Vine, foliage and fruit of the 
Marglobe type. Needs no irrigation. Earlier 
than the Marglobe. Fruits globular, bright scar- 
let, outer and inner walls very thick. Heavy 
yielder. No other tomato variety is more ssuit- 
able for canning and marketing. Can safely be 
planted in soils infested with Fusarium Wilt. 
It has the highest recommendation of all au- Tomato—

Pennsylvania State Tomato Seed Certification Requirements 
Tomato Stock Seed—Before any variety can even be entered for certification in Pennsylvania, stock 
seed from carefully selected and staked plants must be saved the year previous to certification. 
D, Landreth Seed Co. goes further than that, as our stock seed is saved from carefully staked plants at 
least two years previous to certification, and seed from those staked plants proved by test a year in 
advance of certification. Only the very best tested strains are used for growing our fields for certification. 
Field Inspection—Advanced Plant Pathologist K. W. Lauer of the Bureau of Plant Industry, Depart- 
ment of Agriculture, Harrisburg, Pa., and Dr. Warren Mack of Pennsylvania State College, accom- 
panied by D. Landreth Seed Co., field men, inspect all our tomato fields before the first pickings are 
made. At least one more field inspection is necessary and sometimes one or two after that before these 
two inspectors are satisfied that the fields are up to the high standards required. During these inspec- 
tions the fields are rated for vigor, and the plants and fruits are carefully examined for disease and 
trueness to type, whole fields being discarded if they do not meet the very strict requirements. 
Inspection of Equipment—The seed saving machines are inspected, and the processes of washing 
and drying of the seed are checked. 
Germination Tests—Samples of certified tomato seed are taken by Inspector Lauer direct from the 
bagged stocks. These are tested for germination at Harrisburg and certificates issued to our Company. 
Certification Stickers—The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture issues pink certification stick- . 
_ ers which we paste on each package of Certified| and Crown Picked Certified Tomato Seed. These 
stickers state that the tomato seed in the package was inspected and certified by the Pennsylvania 
Department of Agriculture. We guarantee the seed to be part of that inspected and passed in accord- 
ance with the Pennsylvania rules and regulations for the certification of tomato seed. 
Crown Picked Certified Tomato Seed 
The demand for Crown Picked Tomato Seed has been so great that we have previously been un- 
able to fill the orders for it. We now have Crown Picked Seed of all the certified tomato varieties listed. 
For Crown Picked Seed only the first or crown Clusters of fruits are used. Some growers claim that 
crown picked seed is plumper and therefore produces earlier fruits the following year than the seed 
from later pickings.
