Kilgore’s 
GROTHEN’S RED GLOBE. (70 days.) 
early maturing, high yielding variety especially well adapted 
for fall planting in Florida, where our strain was developed. 
All of our production is now based on lines developed, selected, 
and produced at our Florida breeding station. The plants are of 
open growth with rather small foliage requiring rich, deep, moist 
land for best results, maturing fruits about 12 days earlier than 
Rutgers, and ripening to a beautiful red color. A heavy pro- 
ducer of smooth, deep globe-shaped, large fruits, sizing up well 
clear to the top of the plants, producing a very high percentage 
of fancies. The fruits are firm and solid, and the interior ripens 
slowly, making this variety an exceptionally good shipper. 
Earliness and high yields of large fruits, of excellent shipping 
quality, are the main factors recommending this variety. It 
does not do so well on light sandy soils, but is especially recom- 
mended for a fall, winter and early spring crop in Florida and 
is well suited to deep, wet glades, hammock, and rich sandy 
loam soils.

5 to 25 lbs. $6.90 per lb. 
PRITCHARD (SCARLET TOPPER). (75 days.) 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 
a heavy cropper and therefore requires rich or liberally fer- 
tilized moist soil. Does especially well on Everglades muck. 
Pkt. 10c; 14 oz. 30c; oz. 55c; \% Ib. $1.65; 1 lb. $6.00 
5 to 25 Ibs. $5.90 per Ib. 
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.

Improved Grothen 
Red Globe Tomatoes 

This is a very MARGLOBE. (77 days.) This is an excellent strain of the 
old standard type of Marglobe. It produces a heavy, vigorous 
plant growth, partially 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 high percentage of fancy fruits 
which results in fancy prices. Well adapted to and recommend- 
ed for north Florida.

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 selected strain 
produces a high percentage of large, smooth, uniformly deep 
globe-shaped fancy fruits. No finer strain of this standard 
variety for Florida conditions can be found anywhere. 
Pkt. 10c; % oz. 40c; oz. 75c; % lb. $2.25; 1 Ib. $8.00 
5 to 25 lbs. $7.90 per lb. 
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. 15e; 4% oz. 65c; oz. $1.25; 14 lb. $4.00; 1 Ib. $15.00 
5 to 25 Ibs. $14.90 per Ib. 
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; % oz. 45c; oz. 85ce; 14 lb. $2.75; 1 Ib. $10.00 
5 to 25 Ibs. $9.90 per lb.
