Standard Open Pollinated Varieties 



;aster Marglobe 



Valiant - Days to Maturity 68 



One of the most important tomatoes 

 for the extra early market 



It is large, smooth, and a heavy producer. A 

 Stokes introduction of 1936, it is an outcross that has 

 contributed much to the tomato industry of the United 

 States and Canada. It is a half-brother of Stokesdale. 

 As a money maker for the extra-early market trade 

 we know of none better. It is a tomato of great im- 

 portance. 



Stokesdale - Days to Maturity 73 



Early and profuse bearer of high quality tomatoes. 



Stokesdale, a Stokes introduction of 1936, comes 

 from the same outcross source as Valiant. The two 

 have brought wealth and satisfaction to tomato grow- 

 ers in many states. Stokesdale, as developed and 

 maintained by the originator, will produce a 5 ounce 

 fruit, 5 days later than Valiant. 



Master Marglobe-Days to Maturity 78 



This Master Strain during 26 years has earned 

 millions of dollars for the tomato industry. 



Stokes Master Marglobe is a 5V2 ounce shipping 

 tomato, perfectly formed with smooth shoulders and a 

 very solid interior. Its high production is attested by 

 the fact that many of our customers regularly raise 

 over 50 tons per acre under glass. Stokes has taken a 

 leading part in maintaining the strength and trueness 

 to type of this variety. 



Queens - Days to Maturity 70 



A large, early-market tomato. 



Introduced in 1951 by Professor Lyman G. Scher- 

 merhorn of Rutgers University, this is a cross between 

 Rutgers and Valiant. It produces large quantities of 

 6 ounce fruit almost as early as Valiant. 



Rutgers - Days to Maturity 85 



This variety has larger, wider adaptability than 

 any tomato ever introduced in North America. 



Rutgers is also the work of Professor Schermerhorn. 

 The fruit is large and the plant vigorous and produc- 

 tive. To attain a full yield, limit nitrogen feeding un- 

 til after the main blossom set. Rutgers is a favorite 

 market and cannery tomato east of the Rockies.
