STOKES VEGETABLE SPECIALS FOR 1932 



New York Lettuce 



Days to maturity, 80-90. The strain we offer is the true 

 New York, the identical stock from which thousands of acres 

 are planted in the Imperial Valley. The largest growers can 

 place entire dependence on this stock. It is as uniformly 

 pure as anything we offer, and, furthermore, has the added 

 ad^•antage of de\ eIoping an enfolding leaf over the top of 

 the head w hich adds greatly to its shipping qualities. Any 

 Lettuce-grower who desires to make a trial planting of this 

 stock will be sent a substantial planting sample with- 

 out charge. It will take but one trial to convince any- 

 one that this is a very superior stock. It has proved so 

 in all of the Lettuce-growing districts of California, 

 Arizona, and the Rocky Mountain States as well as in 

 the various districts in the Eastern States where it is 

 finding an increasing acreage CN-ery year. If you want 

 one of the finest strains of New ^'ork Lettuce now 

 known you cannot do better than to order this one.

White Boston 



Days to maturity, 75-SO. Tiiis ^-ariety is of LTcar impor- 

 tance to our trade. At the present time we are si.Ilm_' aij^ut 

 three times as much \\ hite Boston as of the Big Boston i\ jjc 

 \\'e consider both stocks to be equally pure, but the choice is 

 definitely leaning toward the green-lea\ cd type. W e go to a 

 good deal of expense to ha% e the very finest selection made 

 of this stock. Everj' precaution has been taken to insure the 

 puritj- of our strain. Its brilliant green market appearance 

 is, no doubt, responsible for the consistently high price it 

 commands on the market. Gro\\ ers large and small can place 

 the greatest confidence in it. We know of no finer strain. 

 Does well in spring and fall.

Stokes Scarlet Globe Radish 



Days to maturitN^ 25. We consider this to be the premier 

 strain of Early Scarlet Globe. The stock is the result of 

 single plant-breeding, and the seed has been carefully grow n 

 from selected transplanted roots. It will prove to be a 

 nearly perfect strain of Early Scarlet Globe, surprisingly 

 uniform, of a bright scarlet color, perfect shape, and with 

 chin tap-root. The tops are of convenient size for bunching 

 and are uniform. The flesh is pure white, crisp, and of fine 

 flavor. The average size of the root at maturity is by ^ 

 inches. It will grow quickly and evenly, maturing in just 

 over three weeks under normal conditions. Market gardeners 

 who desire the very finest Radish available for field-pro- 

 duction may put great confidence in this strain. The 

 photograph on this page is in every way typical of it.
