Medical authorities admit it is the main process in sustaining human body 
health, medical science can only assist nature. Thus it is the same in plant 
life in the propagation of tomatoes from healthy seed of high vitality. 
One only needs to observe self-seeded tomatoes resulting from natural 
rotting of vine-ripened fruit, returned to the soil. Only the most vigorous 
seed germs are able to withstand the climatic elements and anti-biotical 
rotting process for the following year’s growth. 
Self-seeded plants not only show greater disease resistance and more 
productiveness, but also are able to withstand much heavier frosts.

GREENHOUSE GROWERS, ATTENTION! 
We are producing seed of three greenhouse forcing strains next season, 
using the above process of seed extraction. 
OHIO W-R GLOBE the past two seasons has shown a rather serious 
striped fruit characteristic. Most greenhouse growers in Ohio have noticed 
this blemish, which resulted from an unsuspected mutant in foundation seed 
stock. We have made critical selections, eliminating this blemish, and also 
improved fruit quality for 1953 seed production. 
STRAIN A GLOBE—Likewise, we have also reselected seed stock of this 
variety for better fruit quality and productivity. Seed available next fall. 
MICHIGAN STATE FORCING—-We will have this strain from two years’ 
selection. One made by a foremost plant breeder in Michigan and one selec- 
tion of our own. 
WE PRODUCE SEED FOR A PURPOSE, NOT AS A BY-PRODUCT
