SUPER-STANDARD BONNY BEST TOMATO 



This new strain, the culmination of fifteen years' work, represents our highest attainment as seeds- 

 men. It will prove invaluable in all intensive operations, whether under glass or in the field. Distri- 

 bution commences November 1, 1922. Sale of the seed is, of course, strictly limited to the supply, 

 which is, unfortunately, not large. 



The late Walter P. Stokes introduced the Bonny Best Tomato in 1908. Since then its 

 good name has reached to all parts of the United States and into Canada. We have guarded 

 its reputation jealously, realizing that many incompetent firms were offering very ques- 

 tionable stocks under the name of Bonny Best. As its name implies, the Super-Standard 

 Bonny Best is above the standard. 



It is a remarkable selection made from a crop which was officially recognized as one of 

 the heaviest yielding fields in New Jersey this year. The individual specimens were gath- 

 ered only from healthy, productive hills bearing large, early fruits, some crown-set and 

 some branch-set, to combine earliness and yield. The colored photograph on this page 

 gives an idea of the kind of Tomatoes accepted. But this is not alL Before they w^ere finally 

 passed they were individually cut by hand and examined for inside color, solidity and 



freedom from disease. A glance at the seed 

 itself will instantly show its superiority over 

 ordinary commercial stock. It is much 

 larger and brighter and this means more vig- 

 orous plants. The germination is perfect. 



We have concentrated our very best efforts 

 on this Super-Standard Bonny Best. We are 

 confident that it will make a good account of 

 itself after it leaves Windermoor Farm. 

 "Blood tells" and we know its ancestry, for 

 it is our own child. Price, large pkt. $1, 

 I/20Z. $3, oz. $5.
