PAN AMERICA (Wilt Resistant). 80 days.) This variety 
bred and developed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture 
from a cross between Marglobe and a wild Peruvian red cur- 
rant tomato selection, is extremely resistant to tomato Fusarium 
wilt disease. It makes a large, vigorous, robust, strong grow- 
ing plant, with large leaves but with a fairly open vine growth. 
The vine growth and foliage are 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 very limited.

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 elim- 
inated. 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.

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.

EXTRA SELECTED GLOBE. (80 days.) This extra se- 
lected strain is one of the strongest and most vigorous growers, 
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.

PRITCHARD (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.

LIVINGSTON’S GLOBE. (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, holding their large 
size and shape until the last pickings. Ripens to a beautiful 
deep pink.

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.
