Novelty jgr The NcW Pilot Pca 



EARLIER THAN ANY OTHER 

 HARDY AND PROLIFIC 



ILLUSTRATED IN COLOR ON OPPOSITE PAGE 



An extra-early, large-podded Pea of the type of Gradus and Thomas Laxton, the largest and hardiest early Pea ever intro- 

 duced. The market now demands an early, large-podded Pea, and this demand has been supplied by the Gradus and Thomas Laxton 

 until these varieties are exceedingly popular. But while very early in maturing, these are exceedingly tender and sensitive, and liable 

 to rot if planted when the ground is wet and cold. This great drawback is entirely overcome in the New Pilot Pea, now offered for 

 the first time. It has a hard, round seed, which withstands the cold, wet ground without rotting, and yet it has the good qualities 

 of earliness and large pod, and is extraordinarily prolific. Many of my customers who bought it in a small way last year have placed 

 large orders for deliveries this spring, and I urge all my market-gardener friends to give it a trial, planting it as early as they would 

 the Alaska or extra-early types. 



Price: pkt. lo cts., pt. 40 cts., postpaid; by express or freight, qt. 50 cts., 4 qts. $2, pk. $3.75, bus. $14. 



N^i^a^ The New World's Record Pea 



TWO WEEKS EARLIER THAN GRADUS 



This is a new English selection and English-grown Pea of the Gradus type, but fully two weeks earlier than that celebrated 

 variety, now one of the very earliest Peas known to the trade. It has the same very large, handsome pods, filled tightly with large, 

 fine, tender, very blue Peas. The pods are dark, have great solidity, and stand shipping to market without wilting better than most 

 other sorts. 



Price: pkt. 10 cts., pt. 40 cts., postpaid; by express or freight, pt. 35 cts., qt. 60 cts., 4 qts. $2.25, pk. $4. 



spEciALTYj^ Stokes' Bonny Best Early Tomato 



ILLUSTRATED IN COLOR ON OPPOSITE PAGE 



I introduced Bonny Best Early Tomato in 1908. The sales have more than doubled every year. Read what the users say of "The 

 Tomato that has made good." 



Bonny Best is the one best early — far superior to Earliana in 

 looks, flavor and productiveness. — H. B. FuUerton, Long Island 

 Experiment Station, Huntingdon, L. I. 



Bonny Best is, I believe, the smoothest and most uniform 

 early red. — Prof. R. L. Watts, Pennsylvafiia State College. 



From 135 plants I picked 360 pounds of ripe Bonny Best 

 Tomatoes in my greenhouse. They are dandies. — Fairview Poul- 

 try Yards, Fox Lake, Wis. 



Bonny Best came in ten days ahead of Earliana. — Long 

 Island Agronomist, August I, 1912. 



Bonny Best, tried with all early varieties, under irrigation, 

 proved the earliest as well as the best. Remarkably uniform in 

 size, beautiful color, no wrinkles, perfect sheer. Brought above 

 market price. — C. H. Zink, Loveland, Colo. 



Bonny Best is better than you say it is. — Leon A. Lusk, 

 Seabrook, Texas. 



I am going to plant nothing but Bonny Best hereafter. They 

 bring 30 to 40 cents per pound, and some weigh fourteen ounces 

 each. — F. C. Prizer, Collegeville, Pa. 



One plant of Bonny Best had 42 perfect Tomatoes, large and 

 smooth. I shall always want this kind. — Mrs. H. Parker Williams, 

 Bradford, Mass. 



Bonny Best is the best of all, for earliest perfect Tomatoes, 

 quality and yield. — Charles Willie, East Patchogue, N. Y. 



You have not said half enough about Bonny Best's good 

 qualities. — Mrs. R. A. Munson, Texarkana, Ark. 



With Bonny Best we had Tomatoes ahead of anybody else. — 

 Lee Bayne, Milton, Ky. 



I sold Bonny Best at §6 a bushel wholesale here. — H. F. 

 Siegmund, Austin, Texas. 



Bonny Best for greenhouse forcing is the best I ever raised. — 

 Charles Riess, Connerville, Ind. 



Best for this section. Free from blight. — W. I. Harmon, Lang- 

 ley, Wash. 



Your forcing Bonny Best is grand. — J. A. Monoley, Orono, 

 Maine. 



Bonny Best does better than any other variety we have ever 

 tried for forcing. — J. H. Gourley, Ohio Experiment Station. 



Stokes' Bonny Best is coming to the front rapidly. One grower 

 reports it is "the leader in everthing." — Market Growers' Journal, 

 November 9, 1912. 



The Bonny Best Early Tomato is a remarkably good one 

 here. — C. C. Pettit, Dickinson, Tex. 



Bonny Best is the finest we have ever grown. — C. Mathisen, 

 Fredericksburg, Tex. 



I sold Bonny Best at $4.50 and S5 per bushel before other 

 home-grown Tomatoes came in. I had a beautiful crop. — Clear- 

 view Garden Farm, Chcswick, Pa. 



Bonny Best Early is ten days to two weeks earlier than Chalk's Early Jewel. It sets 12 to 15 smooth, round, globe-shaped 

 fruits in the crown-setting, and is remarkably even in size. Color is an intense, glowing scarlet, ripening even to the stem without 

 crack or black spot. 



Price: pkt. 10 cts., Hoz. 25 cts., oz. 40 cts., J^lb. $1.25, lb. $4, postpaid. 



BONNY BEST EARLY FOR GREENHOUSE FORCING 



Bonny Best is the finest Tomato for forcing under glass. I have seed saved from crown-settings especially for greenhouse use. 

 Pkt. 20 cts., l yoz. 85 cts., oz. $1.50. 



Get your seed from the originator — my Bonny Best is the BEST Bonny Best obtainable.
