No. 94. Bonny Best 



Introduced by Walter P. Stokes 

 in 1908 



Days to maturity, 112. From 

 the Stokes Catalog of 1908 we 

 quote as follows: "The place of 

 honor — the first page in the book 

 — is given this magnificent nov- 

 elty now offered for the first 

 time. ... I predict that the 

 Stokes Bonny Best Early (Bonny 

 Best Early it was called then) 

 will soon be known from one end 

 of the land to the other as the 

 finest shipping Tomato ever pro- 

 duced." That prediction, made 

 27 years ago, has been amply 

 justified. Dr. Pritchard's origi- 

 nations, beginning in 1926, have 

 of course limited the scope for 

 the Bonny Best types, but they 

 have by no means eliminated 

 them from a place of importance 

 in the industry. Bonny Best 

 shares an important place with 

 the second-early group. There are conditions under which it is still more successful than any other 

 variety, and being one of our firm's introductions, we take particular care to see that our stock is main- 

 tained at a high standard of excellence. The color is an intense scarlet. John Baer is a similar type. 

 Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; ^lb. $1; lb. $3.50. 



No. 95. Super- Standard Bonny Best 



A special selection grown and saved on our Moorestown Proving -Grounds 

 Days to maturity, 112. We have offered this extra-quality strain of Bonny Best for 10 years, and 

 in that time it has been the source of great profit to our customers both for hothouse and for intensive 

 field cultivation. Anyone desiring a specially fine type of Bonny Best can plant this strain with com- 

 plete assurance of satisfactory results.

No. 96. Greater Baltimore 



Similar to Stone. Especially valuable for canning 



Greater 

 Balti- 

 more, a main- 

 season type for 

 canning 



Days to maturity, 123. This is 

 a slightly earlier and deeper To- 

 mato than the much older Stone, 

 as introduced by Livingston in 

 1889. Bolgiano, of Baltimore, 

 introduced it under the 

 name Greater Baltimore in 

 1912. In many districts 

 this Tomato is still the 

 standard main-crop canning 

 variety. The plant is large 

 and medium heavy, thus 

 protecting the fruit, which 

 is somewhat flattened but 

 nevertheless of excellent 

 quality. Greater Baltimore 

 is not recommended as a 

 shipping variety for the 

 reason that the market pays 

 the high money for the 

 deeper fruit. It cannot be 

 grown successfully in Maine, 

 New York, or Michigan. 



Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 10 cts.; 

 oz. 25 cts.; y 4 lb. 85 cts.; lb. $3.
