MARGLOBE (Red) HMSC TALON 75 
Twenty-five years ago the late Dr. Pritchard of the U. S. D. A. introduced this 
still popular variety. Marglobe was the first variety to possess fine commercial 
qualities and show tolerance to Fusarium wilt and nailhead rust. It was used 
by plant breeders to impart the qualities of size, globe shape, thick flesh walls, 
mild flavor, good red color, and tolerance to wilt to many subsequent varieties. 
Does best on fertile soils with ample moisture. Under less favorable conditions 
fruit size may suffer. 
VINES—Vigorous, medium long; heavy dark green foliage which shades the 
fruits well. 
FRUIT—Deep scarlet, globe-shaped, thick skinned, smooth and solid; delicious, 
mild flavor. 
MASTER MARGLOBE (Red) SC TALIP 75 
Similar to Marglobe except that it is a highly selected strain producing a 
high percentage of unusually large size fruits. It shows the same tolerance 
to Fusarium wilt and nailhead rust as the original strain. The fruits are 
noticeably smooth and free of defects. Also prefers fertile soil with good mois- 
ture supply. 
VINES—Vigorous, with dark green foliage which protects the fruits; heavily 
productive. 
FRUIT—Smooth, very solid, deep scarlet color; excellent quality and thick 
flesh walls with small cavities. 
OXHEART (Pink) HM TEMPO 90 
Entirely different from any other tomato. Fruit has a novel heart shape that 
makes it a special attraction for home and market gardeners. 
VINES—Rather large, fairly productive, hardy grower, very late. 
FRUIT—Pink, heart-shaped, very solid, uneven surface, exceptionally large, 
meaty, distinct appealing flavor. 
PAN AMERICA (Red) MSC TAROT 75 
Introduced by the U.S.D.A. from the Beltsville, Maryland, Station. Bred for 
resistance to Nailhead Rust and near immunity to Wilt, this variety has be- 
come widely used. ; 
VINES—Strong grower, developing good coverage, protecting fruits from the 
sun; fairly productive. 
FRUIT—Globular, medium large, smooth, free of cracking; color bright scarlet 
throughout with thick flesh walls. 
PEARSON IMPROVED (Red) SC TINRY 80 
This variety was developed at the California Agricultural Experiment Station 
at Davis. It is unusual for its thick skin, ability to set fruits in hot weather 
and high percentage of solid matter. 
VINES—Large, vigorous, with dense, heavy, dark green foliage, productive, 
determinate type growth. 
FRUIT—Medium large, flattened globe shape, smooth, and scarlet color; thick 
skin relatively resistant to cracks.
