The Significance of the Appendage (Stokes) 



In the present confused situation as regards nomenclature and varietal types, the variety name alone 

 carries no special significance. In order that the stocks we sell may be identified in some way we have adopted 

 the use of our own name as an appendage to the varietal name. The use of the name (Stokes) will identify a 

 variety as being the product of and sold with the endorsement of Francis C. Stokes & Co. The use of bur name 

 in this manner indicates that the stock in question is of the Stokes standard. 



Early Snowball (Stokes) is one of the' outstanding cauliflowers in commerce
