STOKES FOUNDATION STOCK 
MASTER MARGLOBE 
Perfection of fruit. A foremost shipper. 

Stokes Master Marglobe, after 24 years still maintains its style and 
perfection. It has earned millions of dollars for the tomato industry. 
A U.S.D.A. introduction of 1926. It is a cross between 
Marvielle de Marche (Vilmorin) x Globe (Livingston) 
made and perfected by the late Dr. Fred E. Pritchard. 
Its high resistance to Fusarium Wilt and to Nail Head 
Rust virtually eliminated those diseases. After 23 years, 
Marglobe is still a very important shipping variety. 
This is in part due to the vigilance of the Stokes Com- 
pany in maintaining their Master strain, which is 
generally looked upon as being’ one of the most per- 
fectly formed market tomatoes in existence. This has an 
average weight of 52 ounces, a depth to width ratio 
of 90%, smooth shoulders and a very solid interior. 
Many of the most successful growers and shippers of 
tomatoes lean heavily on Stokes Master Marglobe. The 
same is true of innumerable greenhouse growers. It is a 
matter of common knowledge in the industry that the 
Stokes organization has carried much of the responsi- 
bility for maintaining this superb tomato.
