STOKES VEGETABLE SPECIALS FOR 1932 

 Imperial Black Beauty Eggplant 



Days to maturity, 110-125. This Imperial strain of the well- 

 known Black Beauty, a stock free from the organisms of Phomop- 

 sis Rot, is, in our opinion, the most important forward step 

 taken in Eggplant improvement in the last decade. Most Egg- 

 plant seed is saved in areas that are badly infested with this 

 organism, which attacks the plant in its middle growth, withers 

 the leaves, and finally rots the fruit. In many instances the 

 spoilage does not commence until the fruit is en route to northern 

 markets. Some Phomopsis Rot comes from infected soil, but 

 unless the grower starts with disease-free seed he is beaten from 

 the start. Our Imperial strain has been grown under conditions 

 that make us morally certain that our seed is entirely clear from 

 the organisms of Phomopsis Rot. The height of the plant is 

 about 18 inches, and the fruits are of a triangular globe shape and 

 a deep purple-black color. 



Price: Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 45 cts.; V4lb. $1.40; lb. $4.75; 

 5 lbs., $4.50 per lb. 



Stokes Deep Heart Escarole 



Days to maturity, 90-100. Our Company introduced this 

 variety three years ago, and in that short time it has gained a 

 well-merited reputation. Its outstanding characteristics are its 

 early maturity, combined with the fact that the leaf is broader 

 than the Batavian type. It is a heavy yielder, of fine appear- 

 ance, and has a deep, well-blahched heart. It has been particularly successful in the Sanford (Florida) district. 

 Stokes Deep Heart will give a good account of itself. We recommend that part of your planting be with this variety. 

 Price: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; V4lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50; 5 lbs., $1.40 per lb.

The Stokes Mountain 

 Danvers Onion 



The Stokes Mountain Danvers Onion 



Days to maturity, 100. This Onion, grown privately for us at an elevation of 5000 feet on the western slope of the 

 Rocky Mountains, will mature a hard, uniform bulb fully 10 days ahead of Yellow Globe Danvers. In addition to the 

 factor 'of earliness, it is the best-keeping Onion that is now being offered. The Stokes Mountain Danvers is grown 



for us by an experienced grower and is the result of 15 years' care- 

 ful selection. Our strain will show an extremely high purity both ' 

 in type and in color. We ofTer it now for the sixth season and can 

 confidently say that it has made an excellent record for itself from 

 Ontario to Texas. This includes the important muck sections of 

 northern New York State. To all growers who can take advantage 

 of the early market or to growers who have partial crop-failure due 

 to shortness of season, The Stokes Mountain Danvers will prove 

 especially valuable.

Riverside Sweet Spanish

 recognition for it is a very pure strain of an increasingly important 

 variety. Riverside Sweet Spanish is a long-keeping Onion of the 

 large Spanish Valencia type. As compared to the familiar Prize- 

 taker, it is now taking most of the prizes, for it is larger, a better 

 shipper and a better storage Onion. Yields as high as 50 tons per 

 acre are reported. Onions average 33/2 to 4 inches in diameter; 

 uniformly globe-shaped, and a bright golden yellow color.
