IMPROVED GREENHOUSE STRAINS 
MICHIGAN STATE FORCING 
(75 Days) 
Wilt Resistant 
A very important greenhouse 
variety. Healthy vigorous vine growth, 
dark green foliage. Beautiful red, deep 
globular shaped fruits are unusually 
firm and smooth when ripe. Very thick 
fruit walls and few seeds. Our selected 
strain is the result of two years of 
special selection, one by a foremost 
plant breeder in Michigan and one of 
our own, commonly showing 8 to 10 
ounce fruits in the third and fourth 
clusters. There has been increasing numbers of growers using this variety for outdoor 
growing with excellent success. 
Pkt. (about 600 seeds) 25c; %4 oz. 90c; 1 oz. $3.50; 14 lb. $11.75; 1 lb. $44.50. 
OHIO W-R 3 GLOBE 
Wilt Resistant 
The main variety now used in glass- 
house production in Ohio. Extensive de- 
terminate growth, easily pruned to a single 
stalk and ample foliage grown under glass. 
Maturity about 68 days. Color of fruit, 
pink. Globular shape as name implies with 
many locules. Fruit size is large on first 
clusters of heavy vegetative plants, dimin- 
ishing to medium size in later clusters. 
Number of fruits per cluster are 3 to 4. 
In the past two years a mutant has ap- 
peared in stock seed of this strain and has 
multiplied to quite serious extent. Fruits 
carrying this characteristic are spotted and 
in advanced stages have long stripes. 
Through ridged selecting and roguing the 
past two years we have eliminated this 
Aner and also selected for slightly larger 
ruit. 
Pkt. (about 600 seeds) 25c; % oz. 90c; 1 oz. $3.50; 1% lb. $11.75; 1 lb. $44.50. 
GLOBE (75 Days) 
Strain A 
The original pink greenhouse forcing tomato and 
one of the parents of the above Ohio W-R 3 Globe. 
Where fusarium wilt is not a problem, Globe Strain 
A outyields the latter with larger fruit and deeper 
globular shape. Vine growth indeterminate with 
greater density and more vigorous. Globe Strain 
A is still preferred by many greenhouse growers in 
spite of its lack of wilt resistance. We offer our 
selection of this strain with increased productivity 
and fruit size. 
Prices the same as the above Ohio W-R 3 Globe. 
I want to congratulate you on your interesting cata- 
log.
