Marglobe 80 days 
Fruit—Medium large, scarlet, blocky 
globe shape, very solid flesh. Irregular 
cell structure and mild acidity. 
Vine—Strong and vigorous and heavy 
yielder. Does not “crop” like Baltimore, 
but picks over the entire season. 
Introduced by the late Dr. Pritchard of 
the U. S. Dept. of Agric., and partially 
resistant to Fusarium wilt and Nail- 
Head Rust. A most valuable, widely 
adapted, productive, high quality vari- 
ety used by home and market garden- 
ers, shippers and canners. 
McGee 66 days 
A first early type having both pink and 
scarlet fruited plants which are similar 
to June Pink and Earliana varieties. 
Oxheart 90 days 
Fruit — Bright rosy-pink, very large, 
heart shaped, shallowly furrowed from 
top to bottom, heavy solid flesh, very 
few seeds. Set in clusters of 2-7, mild 
flavor makes them desirable for salads, 
dark overgreen. 
Vine—Very large, open and spreading, 
with slate green dense foliage. 
Different from any other types, Oxheart 
is a popular late home garden and local 
market variety valued for its large size 
and distinctive shape. 
87 days 
Fruit—Scarlet, medium to large, flattened 
globe, prolific. Dark overgreen. Interior 
ripens rapidly, good shipping variety. 
Vine—Vigorous, determinate with ample 
foliage to cover fruit. 
Originally developed by Dr. O. H. Pearson 
at the California College of Agric. A 
main crop canning and shipping type 
especially adapted to California and the 
South, being too late for commercial 
use in the North. 
Pearson 
Ponderosa 90 days 
Fruit—Deep  purplish-pink, extremely 
large, flattened and rather irregular, 
usually ribbed and somewhat rough with 
tendency to crack, fleshy, few seeds and 
very mild flavor, dark overgreen. 
Vine—Vigorous indeterminate plant, 
spreading with coarse medium green 
foliage, good coverage. 
A late, large fruited variety for home 
garden planting. 
Pritchard 
All-America Selection—1933 
78 days 
Fruit—Medium size, globe shape, flattened 
at base, exterior color good red, in- 
terior color deep red, no white fiber. 
Flesh is solid, and cell structure is 
irregualr, dark overgreen. 
Vine—Vigorous, resistant to wilt, com- 
pact in growth, about % as large as 
Marglobe. 
Introduced by Dr. F. J. Pritchard of the 
U. S. Dept. of Agric. for resistance to 
Fusarium wilt and Nail-Head Rust. An 
excellent second-early variety for home 
and market gardening, shipping and 
canning. Very productive on high fer- 
tility soil. 
Sioux 
Rutgers 82 days 
Fruit—Slightly larger and later than 
Marglobe, with an improved interior 
color, making it desirable for canners. 
Most extensively used canning variety 
today, dark overgreen. 
Vine—Similar to Marglobe, indeterminate 
plant growth. 
An excellent mid-season all-purpose vari- 
ety of wide adaptation. Developed at 
the New Jersey Agric. Exp. Station 
from a cross of Marglobe x J. T. D. and 
combines Margilobe’s disease resistance 
with J. T. D.’s quality of fruit ripening 
from interior outward. Useful in can- 
ning, juice making, as a popular green- 
wrap shipper in Florida and Texas and 
for home gardening in many areas. 
Sioux 70 days 
Fruit—Medium size, intermediate red, 
globe shape, uniform green fruit. 
Vine—Semi-determinate, partly open. 
Developed especially for Midwestern con- 
ditions by Dr. H. O. Werner of the 
Nebraska College of Agric. from a cross 
of All Red x Stokesdale. An early mid- 
season type possessing the uniform 
ripening factor which eliminates green 
shoulder and gives uniformly red fruits. 
Very popular with market growers. 
Sets fruit well under high temperatures.
