This is a little 

 gem ; it grows in

 ing whole as a salad on lettuce leaves with mayonnaise dressing.

 solid, of very fine te.xture and thin skin. While not recommended 

 as a field crop for market, it is exceedingly desirable for the pur- 

 poses above stated. Pkt. 10 cts., 'Aoz. 35 cts., oz. 60 cts., '^Ib. S2.

 an excess of water; smooth 

 and of a very fine, red color. 

 Superior in texture and flavor.

 to the acre. It is specially 

 recommended to truckers and 

 growers for canning factories, 

 as it is very showy and very 

 productive. Has a strong, vig- 

 orous vine, protecting the fruits 

 from sun scald. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 oz. 40 cts., Klb. $1.25, lb. $4,

STOKES* FAMOUS TOMATOES. No department of my business is given more attention than the growing and 



development of Tomato seeds. The seeds go so far and the results from 



different strains are so manifest that it is the heie^hi of folly to buy Tomato seed because it is cheap. Price cuts no figure, so long as 

 it is fair, in proportion to results attained. If Tomatoes are wanted for very early market, say about the middle of June, start them 

 inside in pots or boxes, and, when set out, train them to stakes and trim them to two leads, and the fruit is much improved, not only 

 in appearance, but in quality. It also looks neat and is economical of space. For fine, large specimens for exhibition, where high 

 color and attractive appearance are desired, thin out the clusters a little and cover with paper sacks, as is commonly practised by 

 grape-growers. These paper sacks, or bags, should be put on when the fruit is about three-fourths gro\vn. Try out the 'Bonny Best 

 Early" this way — it will surprise and delight you, and prove that I know what I am talking about.
