This is a very decided improvement on the 
Grothen Globe Tomato, a variety, originated in 
the South. We have developed this to produce 
a Tomato with a good, heavy thick wall suitable 
for carrying long distances. It is a trifle earlier 
than Marglobe, very productive, with large-sized 
fruit. This year our fields produced 16 tons to the 
acre. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; 14lb. $1.75; lb. $6;

in the cross-breeding. The fruit is not quite so 
large as Rutgers, with fine deep scarlet color.

grows about 48 inches long under good conditions.

Since its origination, 
Marglobe Certified. we believe this has be- 
come a favorite quicker than any other stock of 
Tomato. One of the main points to be consid- 
ered is the shape—we know that it is absolutely 
essential to have a good globe shape. This we 
have secured, together with selecting the stock 
to eliminate cracks around the stem. Our stock 
seed, every year, costs a considerable amount of 
money to produce. We suggest that you give 
this extra-selected stock a trial. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 
45 cts.; 14lb. $1.50; lb. $5.50; 10 lbs. $52.50.
