STOKES SEED FARMS COMPANY MOORESTOWN, NEW JERSEY 



Vegetable Plant Department 



We have so organized this part of our 

 business that we are in a position to handle 

 orders for vegetable plants in quantities 

 anywhere from 25 to 10,000 without delay. 

 This year we have constructed an entirely 

 new plant-growing equipment, and all 

 orders up to 1000 will be handled from 

 Windermoor Farm direct, enabling us to 

 fill your order within two or three days 

 of its receipt. The larger orders will be 

 handled from a more central location near 

 Philadelphia, so that no delays may occur 

 in filling them. 



As in the past, we are conducting this 

 end of our business on the principle that 

 the buyer must be pleased. Accordingly, 

 if you are not entirely satisfied with any 

 of the plants sent you, an adjustment will 

 be made immediately upon receipt of noti- 

 fication. The plants leave us in good 

 condition and packed as carefully as we 

 know how. Sometimes delays in transportation are 

 unavoidable and the plants arrive in bad condition. 

 However, we guarantee safe arrival, whether shipped by 

 parcel post or express. 



All the plants which we sell are grown from our best 

 stocks of seed and with few exceptions are sown in solid 

 beds under glass in February or March and transplanted 

 once. Some plants, such as eggplants and peppers, are 

 transplanted twice. We keep the plants as free from dis- 

 ease and insects as possible, and take exceptional care 

 that they do not become spindly or "leggy." We try 

 to have the root system as big as possible and the 



plants of sufficient size to be set outdoors immediately 

 upon arrival. 



In placing your order, please remember that when no 

 date for shipment is given, we use our discretion in for- 

 warding it. Many of our customers place orders for pep- 

 pers, eggplants, tomatoes, etc., with us in January or 

 early in February. We hold these orders until April or 

 early in May, when the season is suitable for setting them 

 out. The time our plants will be ready for shipment is 

 noted after each sort, and if no definite shipping instruc- 

 tions accompany your order, you may expect the plants 

 about the date mentioned.
