HERE ARE TWO OF OUR BRANCHES 



Woodbury, New Jersey 



Adjacent to a great 

 vegetable - growing area. 



'One thing I refnefttber: 

 Spring came on forever, 

 Spring came on forever. 



.ND where is the most broken man who can doubt 

 that this wind-swept planet will bloom again; that the 

 young laurel will shoot; that the forgotten fragrance of 

 the woods will return? In spite of man-made folly, the 

 sanctuary of the garden stands inviolate, offering an 

 unequaled form of security. The man with the hoe, as 

 always, looks on the scene with quiet eyes. 



Through fifty years of changing times. Stokes Seeds 

 have made life safer and have produced a sense of well- 

 being for those who have placed dependence on them. We 

 can think of many glowing phrases to describe the results 

 obtained from planting our seeds, but we prefer to tell the 

 story in simple, unadorned language, which in itself is 

 comparable to our kind of business and to our effort to do 

 things a httle more carefully than they are usually done. 



The Stokes Catalog, offering many of the kindly 

 flowers and fruits of this earth, has held a unique place 

 among three generations of planters. The accuracy of its 

 photographs is matched by tlie performance of our stocks. 

 The clarity of its descriptions is equaled by a hke pre- 

 cision in the garden row. The prices that it offers are in 

 accord with the spirit of the times. 



In entering the second fifty years, we do so with a feeling 

 of gratitude for past loyalties and a heavy sense of re- 

 sponsibility to maintain the old standards, and, wherever 

 possible, to improve them. In planning your garden this 

 year, we hope you will plan a Stokes Garden, whether 

 it be of vegetables, flowers, or perennial plants. In all of 

 these we pledge you our very best.
