BELIEVING completely in that premise, and in order 

 to place emphasis on it, we pass you herewith this 

 wholesale list of Stokes 1933 Specials. Each of these 

 strains represents original effort on a carefully developed 

 program. They are the product of accurate and precise 

 workmanship. They are outstanding in their class. 

 They are offered to you ahead of the mailing of our 

 annual seed catalog so that you may make advance plans, 

 purchase your key varieties immediately, and be assured 

 of your supply as needed. 



In buying seed this year, keep this clearly in mind: 

 your purchase is not merely poundage of seed, but po- 

 tential truck loads of vegetables which will be sold on 

 the most highly competitive markets you have ever 

 known. Your product must be at least one step ahead 

 of competing stocks, for the average of these will no 

 doubt remain unprofitable. Special quality vegetables 

 can only be grown from special quality seed, and such 

 seed cannot be produced at the price of "run of the 

 mine" stock. This advance list is your opportunity. It 

 is sent you in the belief that you will accept it in that 

 spirit. The race is to the strong now. A well-laid and a 

 forehanded plan will give you a sense of security en- 

 tirely unknown to the man who just muddles through.
