STOKES SPECIALS FOR 1933 



WATERMELON 



BROWN SEEDED KLONDIKE (New) 



Highly Flavored. Bright Red. 



Days to maturity, 90. This melon combines four impor- 

 tant features. It is early. The flesh is of bright red color 

 and of delicious flavor. The size averages 25 pounds. 

 The fruit is oblong with an even dark green color. This 

 is a particularly well-bred strain, — our seed only being 

 saved from the most perfect melons. One feature of the 

 dark brown seed instead of the usual white seed is that 

 the consumer instinctively feels that when the seeds 

 are darkened he is buying a ripe melon. 

 Price: Pkt. 5c, Oz. 15c, 14 lb. 30c, Lb. Sl.OO, 5 lbs. @ 

 90c per lb. Postpaid. 



PRIDE OF MUSCATINE (New) 



A certified wilt-resistant Kleckley. 



Days to maturity, 120. Developed after five years of in- 

 breeding a wilt-resistant strain of Kleckley Sweet in 

 Muscatine County, Iowa. This melon is recommended to 

 growers who have experienced losses from Fusarium 

 Wilt. Where this disease is not known, we recommend 

 planting the original Kleckley. Pride of Muscatine is a 

 long, dark green melon with brown seed and bright red 

 flesh. Price: Pkt. 10c, Oz. 25c, 14 lb. 60c, Lb. $2.00, 

 5 lbs. or over @ $1.85 per lb. Postpaid. 



ONION 



RIVERSIDE SWEET SPANISH 



Spanish type. Acclimated to our conditions. 



Days to maturity, 115. This onion fully equals the largest 

 Spanish onions we have ever seen imported. They mature 

 as early as Prizetaker and are only slightly later than 

 Southport Yellow Globe, although they are twice the 

 size of that variety. At this writing we have specimens 

 in our office measuring 4^/2 inches across and weighing 

 two pounds. The onions are almost perfect globe shape, 

 slightly flattened at the ends, and of a clear, bright yel- 

 low color. The flesh is mild and sweet. There is no 

 difficultv in raising this onion from seed. 

 Price: Pkt. 10c, Oz. 25c, 14 lb. 75c, Lb. $2.50, 5 lbs. or 

 over @ $2.25 per lb. Postpaid. 



MOUNTAIN DANVERS 



Earlier than Yellow Danvers. Excellent keeper. 



Days to maturity, 100. This onion, grown privately for 

 us at an elevation of 5000 ft. on the western slope of 

 the Rocky Mountains, will mature a hard, uniform bulb 

 earlier than any variety in its class. It is the best 

 keeping onion in our entire list. The skin is slightly 

 thicker than most varieties. Our strain will show high 

 purity and germination. We offer it now for the seventh 

 season. To growers who can take advantage of the early 

 market, or to growers who have partial crop failure due 

 to shortness of season, Stokes' Mountain Danvers will 

 prove especially valuable. 



Price: Pkt. 5c, Oz. 20c, % lb. 40c, Lb. $1.50, 5 lbs. or 

 over @ $1.45 per lb. Postpaid.
