STOKES VEGETABLE SPECIALS FOR 1932 



The Stokes Greenpack 



Days to maturitj', 50-60. There are three reasons why the Stokes Green- 

 pack is our largest seller on the Atlantic seaboard: First, its abihty to hold its 

 luxurious, deep green color when sold in northern markets; second, it is un- 

 questionably the hca\ icst yielding of the hite Spines; third, it averages five, 

 days earlier than Early Fortune. 



The Stokes Greenpack is definitely in the ascendency as the most profitable 

 Cucumber that is now being grown in Florida and in the Carolinas. The 

 illustration has been greatlj- reduced for lack of space, the actual fruit of the Stokes Greenpack averaging 

 7 inches in length. Growers were offered from 50 cents to SI package premium for the Stokes Greenpack over 

 prices offered for other strains and varieties. These results arc based on the most careful breeding program. Such seed 

 cannot be grown to compete with many of the ordinary strains that are sold. 



Price: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; V^lh. 40 cts.; lb. $1.25; 5 lbs., $1.15 per lb.; 25 lbs., $1.10 per lb. 



PCUCUMBERS^ 



The Stokes Early Fortune 



Days to maturity, 55-65. This strain is particularly recommended for culti\ ation in Texas, New Jersey, New York, 

 New England, and the Central States. Its slender, symmetrical, slightly tapering shape has proved extremely popular 

 on the markets. Its earliness, its heavj- cropping, its brilliant appearance, have gi\'en it a permanent position. The 

 Stokes Early Fortune is distinctly superior to the general run of this variety, the length averaging fully 83^ inches. We 

 believe no finer stock of Early Fortune is available. 



Price: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; Vi^h. 30 cts.; lb. 90 cts.; 5 lbs., 85 cts. per lb.; 25 lbs., 80 cts. per lb. 



Stokes Windermoor 

 Wonder 



Days to maturity, 60-70. This, without question, 

 is the most handsome outdoor Cucumber now under 

 cultivation. The fruits will average 10 to 12 inches 

 in length. Color is a uniform deep green from end to 

 end, and the characteristic white stripes at the 

 blossom end are an attractive emerald-green in 

 Windermoor Wonder. In a Cucumber which puts 

 so much of its strength into its fruit, it is impossible 

 to produce as heavy yields as with the shorter types. 

 This feature, however, is soon lost sight of in the 

 higher price received for the fruit. Windermoor 

 Wonder is a Davis Perfect X English Telegraph 

 hybrid. It is a shy-seeding varietj', which makes the 

 price of the seed invariably high. 



Price: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; y4lb. 85 cts.; 

 lb. $3; 5 lbs., $2.75 per lb.
