TOMATOES (Continued) 
Improved Marglobe (77 Days)—For many years this has been a heavy producing 
tomato, well adapted to the Pecos Valley. Large, red fruit, smooth, globular with 
thick cell walls. Holds well in white ripe stage for shipping, also, an excellent canner.

Bonny Best (70 Days)—A second early, bright scarlet, smooth and uniform. The 
best canner where the season is too short for the Marglobe to produce heavy. 
Rutgers (73-83 Days)—Bred from Marglobe and J. T. D., it combines disease resist- 
ance of Marglobe with J. T. D’s. habit of ripening from the interior outwards. Coarser 
foliage than Marglobe and flatter at the stem end. Primarily intended for canning, 
has also proven a good green-wrap shipper and all-purpose variety of wide adaption.
