STOKES SPECIALS FOR 1933 



ASPARAGUS 



MARY WASHINGTON 



Very large. Productive. Rust-resistant. 

 The most profitable asparagus. 

 Twelve years ago our firm offered the original Wash- 

 ington stock. When the superiority of the Mary strain, 

 named in honor of George Washington's mother, was 

 established, we were among the first to offer it. Since 

 that time we have done an increasing volume of busi- 

 ness with large asparagus growers, and, in line with our 

 policy of carrying only the best, we have discarded all 

 other types. In view of the prevalence of rust, it is 

 utter folly to plant additional acreage with the old sus- 

 ceptible varieties.

BEANS 



TENDERGREEN (New) 



Early. Fine Flavor. Unusually Prolific. 

 Connpletely Stringless. 



Days to maturity, 42. This new and delicious snapbean 

 is a valuable acquisition. It combines unusual vigor 

 with exceptional table quality. The long, green, straight 

 pods are round like a pencil, of very high flavor and of 

 attractive light green color. We believe this new variety 

 is destined to take an important place in private and 

 commercial bean production. 



Price Postpaid: lb. 10c, 1/2 lb. 20c, Lb. 35c. 5 lbs. @ 

 30c per lb. Not Prepaid: 10 lbs. @ 18c per lb., 25 lbs. 

 @ 15c per lb., 100 lbs. @ 12c per lb. 



STRINGLESS BLACK VALENTINE 



A Completely Stringless Edition of Black Valentine. 

 Now replacing that variety. 



Days to maturity, 45. This variety has already passed the 

 experimental stage. It is a cross between the old 

 Black Valentine and Pencil Pod Wax. This, as its name 

 implies, is stringless. In appearance it looks very much 

 like the original except that the pods are perhaps slightly 

 more curved. It will prove dependable in cold, dry or 

 wet seasons. The bean is of delicious flavor and, in our 

 opinion, will replace Black Valentine. 

 Price Postpaid: 14 lb. 10c, 1/2 lb. 20c, Lb. 35c, 5 lbs. (a 

 30c per lb. Not Prepaid: 10 lbs. (@ 18c per lb., 25 lbs. @
