STOKES SEEDS 



Days to maturity. 1,M)-135. Marglobe is the 

 most important single variety that we offer. 

 This is the fifth year we have offered it. and the 

 demand is stiii increasing. That we are now 

 selling it in enormous volume is directly due to 

 the quality of the seed we are offering. We 

 doubt if there is any seed house selling direct to 

 the grower that is handling anywhere near the 

 quantity that we do. It is no exaggeration to 

 say that our firm was the first to recognize the 

 enormous importance of Marglobe. Our pre- 

 minar>- investigations were carried on before 

 the Department of Agriculture formally released 

 any seed, and our interest in the v ariety has been 

 maintained ever since.

MARGLOBE TOMATO 



We offer a stock of great purity 



This year the New Jersey State Department oi 

 Agriculture has certihed \M acres of Marglobe 

 seed for us. This certification carries with it a 

 certificate of type purity and freedom from dis- 

 ease that is recognized as being of great value. 

 Our entire acreage has been under the careful 

 personal inspection of officers of our Company. 

 We are taking no chances on Marglobe and can 

 offer seed for the 19M) crop with every assurance 

 that it is very superior 



Our seed is packed and sealed in individual 

 bags under seal of germination. This protection 

 is recognized by growers as being of \ ery distinct 

 value. As usual, our seed is saved under the 

 most natural conditions possible. Among other 

 things, we insist on curing it in the sun rather 

 than by artificial heat. We have found that this 

 method assures uniformity and strength in germi- 

 nation. 



Growers of Marglobe, whether for local mar- 

 ket, long distance shipments, or for the canner, 

 will do well to use the Stokes Marglobe. There 

 may be other stocks in this country that are as 

 good as ours, but we doubt very much if there is 

 anything superior. The slight increase in price 

 which we have to charge for our kind of seed is 

 more than made up by the results which will be 

 obtained from it. Do not fail to put at least part 

 of your acreage to .Stokes Marglobe this year.
