Floracrojt Earliana, the earliest Tomato in cultivation 



EARLY TOMATOES 



Our 1915 Tomato seed contracts are all placed within a short distance of our Moorestown Farms, and, as usual, they have had 

 a most careful inspection. Perhaps no other department of our business has been given so much attention as the Tomato. The selec- 

 tion of varieties listed herewith has been given a great deal of care, and our customers have the full assurance that the seeds offered 

 are stocks which can be relied upon to bring the most excellent results. Too much is at stake for anything else to happen. 



Culture. — Sow in hotbeds in early spring, or the seed may be sown in shallow boxes and placed in a window. Transplant to 

 the open ground when all danger of frost is past, setting the plants 3 to 4 feet apart each way. For very early use, the seed should 

 be transplanted into small pots, and these set out in the open ground when it is warm enough. 



One ounce will produce about 1,300 plants

S. S. Bonny Best Early 



This most wonderful of all early Tomatoes is illustrated in color on the back cover of this catalogue, where a full description will 

 be found of it. This variety has done more toward making the reputation of Stokes' Seeds permanent than any other one factor. 

 Do not fail, therefore, to read the description of it on the back cover of this book. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 40 cts., %lb. $1.25, lb. $4.

Floracroft Earliana 



Being indirectly responsible for the introduction and naming of the Earliana Tomato, it has been our 

 duty to conserve all of its strong points. The Floracroft Earliana is one which is unexcelled in earliness and 

 all other good points for which this remarkable variety is noted. The Earliana Tomato is now the standard 

 early Tomato of the land, being listed in every prominent seedsman's catalogue. A great deal of this seed, 

 however, is deteriorated stock, which has not kept up the original purity, productiveness and fine shape. The 

 Floracroft Earliana is one of the handsomest Tomatoes that has ever been introduced, as well as being of super- 

 lative quality. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., V 4 lb. SI, lb. $3.50.

Stokes' Special -Stock Bonny Best Early ( 



FOR GREENHOUSE^ 

 FORCING 



As a forcing Tomato, Bonny Best has come into the front rank. We now have absolute proof of its quality. As the introducer, 

 we are jealously guarding it. A great many other seedsmen now list Bonny Best Tomato, but few of them are selling straight Bonny 

 Best. We have some of the originator's seed, which has been specially selected for greenhouse culture. Pkt. 25 cts., oz. $2, Vilb- $5.
