STOKES SEEDS ARE STANDARD ^ 



LANGE'S EARLIANA (New) 



Lange's, not Langdon's. Extremely early with full 

 crown development. 



Days to maturity, 110. Our neighbor, Ernest Lange, of 

 our own Gloucester County is responsible for this valu- 

 able new acquisition. We believe it is destined to give 

 a rebirth to the popularity of the old Sparks' Earliana 

 as introduced by Johnson & Stokes in 1902. Besides 

 being earlier in matur- 

 ity, Lange's Earliana | — 



is enormously prolific, 

 the crown setting it- 

 self sometimes having « 



from ten to twenty 

 large tomatoes. Our 

 seed field contained 

 literally thousands of 

 plants with from six 

 to twelve fruits in the 

 crown cluster. The fork 

 clusters were also very 

 well developed. Fur- 

 thermore, there were 

 very few rough or flat 

 specimens in the field, 

 which indicates a high 

 percentage of market- 

 able fruit. Our seed 

 field was set out the 

 first week in May, and 

 the first ripe tomato 

 was picked June 17. 

 The first five baskets 



were marketed on 



June 22. Thereafter fifty to one hundred baskets were 

 picked daily. The tomato has attracted wide attention 

 among New Jersey agricultural officials. Mr. Lange has 

 chosen our firm as the authorized distributor for this 

 tomato. The seed we offer was grown by Mr. Lange and 

 saved with our men and machinery. It can be thoroughly 

 depended upon. Price: Pkt. 25c, Oz. $1.00, lb. $3.50, 

 Lb. $12.00. Postpaid. 



BONNY BEST SPECIAL 



Earlier. Deeper. Heavy cropper. 



Days to maturity, 120. As the introducers of this variety 

 twenty-five years ago, we have taken a pardonable pride 

 in helping to maintain its true worth. Many smaller 

 and run-out strains have been offered under the name of 

 Bonny Best. This, our Bonny Best Special, will prove 

 to be particularly effective. It has been selected for 

 greater depth, size and productiveness. Bonny Best Spe- 

 cial is unexcelled as a general purpose tomato. 

 Price: Pkt. 15c, Oz. 45c, lb. $1.40, Lb. $5.00, 5 lbs. or 

 over @ $4.75 per lb. Postpaid. 



GULF STATE MARKET 



Early. Globe-shaped. Solid. Ripens pink. 



Days to maturity, 125. This variety has been particularly 

 valuable to the shippers of East Texas. It will ripen 

 slightly earlier than Livingston Globe and is of the true 

 globe shape. The smooth, firm fruits are borne on 

 clusters of from five to seven. The stock that we offer 

 has had a careful breeding program behind it and will 

 give great satisfaction. Price: Pkt, 10c, Oz. 25c, 1/4 Ib- 

 85c, Lb. $3.00, 5 lbs. or over @ $2.75 per lb. Postpaid
