STOKESCROSS* NO. 4 



Early-main 70 days. 6 oz. 



The compelling feature of this F2 hybrid is its ability 

 to produce large, brilliant, smooth tomatoes, ten days 

 earlier than Rutgers. The medium foliage will set fruit in 

 profusion when other heavier-vined varieties are set- 

 ting little, if at all. Under balanced conditions because 

 of its hybrid vigor, it develops a continuous growth of 

 root, vine and fruit. We presume that this factor is 

 responsible for less fruit cracking. Together, these fea- 

 tures hold great promise for the future usefulness of 

 Stokescross No. 4 — for the gardener, the shipper, and 

 the processor. Commercial quantities will not be avail- 

 able until September, 1 950. Packets are on sale now.
