Stokes^ Bonny Best Early Tomato 



Stokes* "Bonny Best Early" Tomato has more than met my most sanguine expectations. It was offered for 

 the first in 1907, and from every section where it was sent it has made good. 



Stokes' "Bonny Best 

 Early" Tomato is fully ten 

 days earlier than "Chalk's 

 Jewel." It is a vigorous grower, 

 enormously prolific and with 

 splendid foliage, which will pro- 

 tect the fruits from the hot sun 

 on days when other varieties, 

 with less foliage, would scald. 

 As a shipping Tomato it will be 

 found to be one of the very best, 

 as the entire picking will grade 

 into the same crate, owing to its 

 rema rkable evenness of size. 



Stokes' "Bonny Best 

 Early" Tomato in color is an 

 intense velvety glowing scarlet, 

 the very best color for the table 

 or canning, and ripens evenly all 

 over up to the stem. In shape it 

 is beautiful, as can be seen from 

 the illustration, roundish and 

 slightly flattened at the stem end, 

 but thicker through than most 

 other Tomatoes of its class. 

 This makes it a magnificent va- 

 riety for slicing. Its greatest 

 characteristic, however, is its 

 marvelous uniformity of size and 

 smoothness in shape. 



Stokes' "Bonny Best 

 Early " Tomato holds its size 

 clear up to the end of the season 

 to a remarkable degree. Its 

 smooth, even-sized handsome 

 fruit is salable in market and 



Stokes' "Bonny btst Early" lomaio 



satisfactory for your table long after most other Tomatoes are down and out. 

 and late markets.

"Bonny Best Early" for Forcing 



Bonny Best Tomato is the finest forcing Tomato under glass it is possible to obtain. Far better in every way than 

 "The Comet," Lorillard, etc. I have some seed saved from the Crown Setting only, specially saved for greenhouse use.

Stokes' " Floracroft Earliana 



Tomato 



The Earliest Tomato on Earth 



This new Tomato, now offered for the first time, is the 

 earliest Tomato in existence. It is fully a week ahead 

 of the Spark's Earliana and not withstanding this, the fruit 

 is larger and more of it on the vine. The vine is vigorous and 

 strong and resists blight. 45 to 50 fruit will fill an average 

 five-eighths basket, 75 to 80 fruit will fill a bushel crate. In go- 

 ing over my field of Tomatoes, growing for seed, we fre- 

 quently found crown clusters of 12 to 15 large, handsome, 

 marketable fruit with handsome clusters also at the branches. 

 It is sweet in flavor and not acid like many strains of Spark's 

 Earliana. In color it is a good glowing scarlet without core. 

 Price, pkt. 10 cts., ]4oz. 35c., oz. 65c., j^lh. I1.75, lb. $6.50. 



CROWN SETTING SEED. I have saved a limited 

 quantity of seed from the Crown Setting only. This is seed 

 stock, but I offer it as long as it lasts at 20c. per pkt. , oz. $1 . 25 .
