STOKES SPECIALS FOR 1933 



TOMATO 



STOKES MASTER MARGLOBE 



Ninth generation selection for greater depth, 

 solidity, and production. 



Days to niaturily, 130. We consider this to be the most 

 profitable all-purpose tomato. This judgment is sup- 

 ported by customers' reports covering widely varying 

 conditions and requirements. Six years ago we set our- 

 selves the task of developing a deeper, more solid, 

 and more productive Marglobe. Using Pritchard's origi- 

 nal stock as our foundation, we have selected for these 

 points and now offer: 1. A strain I/2 inch deeper (elimin- 

 ating loss from blossom-end scar and from flats). 2. An 

 interior with distinctly smaller seed cavities (reducing 

 loss by puff and adding greatly to the solid content). 

 3. A more open and restrained vine growth which is 

 fully 40% more productive (many run-out stocks of 

 Marglobe have been very unproductive). 

 Probably never before has there been a tomato which 

 when sliced was so nearly solid. The grower who does 

 not plant Stokes' Master Marglobe may find himself 

 operating under a distinct handicap, for it is the finest 

 appearing tomato on the market. Price: Pkt. 25c, Oz.

PRITCHARD 



Marglobe quality with Bonny Best earliness. 



Days to maturity, 120. This tomato has been generally 

 accepted as a tomato of outstanding value for the early 

 shipping season. Being a Marglobe x Cooper's Special 

 hybrid, it has a definite self-topping tendency. That 

 means restricted vine growth, which must be counter- 

 acted by heavy applications of ammonia (fish, king crab, 

 or tankage) in the early weeks to insure full production. 

 The fruit color is an intense scarlet both interior and 

 exterior. The fruit structure is similar to Marglobe, hav- 

 ing a thick wall and unusual solidity and depth. 

 Price: Pkt. 15c, Oz. 50c, 14 lb. $1.75, Lb. $6.00, 5 lbs. or 

 over @ $5.75 per lb. Postpaid.
