THE TWO LEADING CANNERS' TYPES 



Certified Nero Jersey Seed 



Stokes Bonny Best (i«») 



Begins to ripen about July 15, 

 bearing until Sept. 1 



STANDARD STRAIN 



Days to maturity, 130. The vast Tomato crop of New Jersey is about equally 

 divided between Bonny Best and Greater Baltimore. Some counties are stronger in 

 one and some in another. Bonny Best, as introduced by the late Walter P. Stokes 

 lin 1908, is second-early in season, following Earliana within one week. The Standard 

 Strain offered herewith is seed saved from certified fields and under methods passed 

 upon by the State Bureau of Inspection in New Jersey. All of this seed is from the 

 1924 crop. Although we do not consider the Standard Strain of Bonny Best to be at 

 all comparable with our Super-Standard strain — for this is a matter of quantity pro- 

 duction and the other of quality production — we, nevertheless, want to make it very 

 plain that for what it is this Standard Strain will be found to give excellent results. 

 This holds especially true as a canning type, for this particular strain has been 

 specially bred with canning requirements in mind. It is of a bright red color, exceed- 

 ingly solid, and very productive, the tonnage per acre reaching a high point. This strain will not produce 

 as large fruits as the Super-Standard strain, and they will not be as thick through from stem to blossom. 

 For its purpose, however, it is a very desirable type. In the latitude of Philadelphia it will ordinarily ripen 

 about July 15, continuing to bear for six weeks. Price, delivered: Pkt. 10 cts. ; oz. 40 cts.; V^lb. $1.25; lb. 

 $5 ; 5 lbs. or more, $4.50 per lb.

Greater Baltimore ^SoSr 



STANDARD STRAIN 



Days to maturity, 150. Greater Baltimore as a main-crop Tomato makes a valuable companion variety 

 to Bonny Best, the second-early type. Greater Baltimore is a selection from Livingston Stone, Baltimore 

 being slightly earlier than Stone. It is now more generally used for canning purposes than the older Stone, 

 this being due to the more careful breeding it has received at the hands of Mr. H. F. Hall of the Campbell 

 Soup Co., who use Bonny Best and Baltimore almost exclusively in their immense operations. Greater 

 Baltimore has a much more vigorous vine development than any second-early strain. It is thus able to 

 stand torrid August weather, ripening its fruit normally and evenly until the end of the season. This strain of 

 Greater Baltimore has been developed especially for canning purposes, interior color and thickness of the walls 

 being primary factors. Actual tests show this Tomato to be comparatively high in solidity. Seed planted 

 April 1 will produce bearing plants by August 10. Our Standard Strain of Greater Baltimore, as is the case 

 with the Bonny Best, has been certified as to purity of type, etc. Price, delivered : Pkt. 10 cts. ; oz. 40 cts. ; 

 y 4 lb. $1 ; lb. $4; 5 lbs. or more, $3.50 per lb. 



Note to Florida Tomato-Growers: 



Within the next few months we hope to give you the benefit of investigational work looking to the control of 

 the "Nail Head Rust." Due notice will be given in Florida of such demonstrations as we are able to conduct on 

 both the East and West Coast during April or May, 1925.
