STOKES FOUNDATION STOCK 



VALIANT 



Extra Early. Extra Solid. Extra Large. 



Valiant, a Stokes introduction of 1 936, is an out-cross 

 that has made a valued contribution to the tomato 

 industry of the United States and Canada. It is a half- 

 brother of Stokesdale. Valiant will develop a Mar- 

 globe type fruit within three days of the older Earliana 

 (Johnson and Stokes, 1 901 ). It has a sparse, open vine 

 which will not always protect the fruit from the sun, but 

 in its special field — the early market — it is highly 

 prized. Valiant will be most successful on heavy loam. 

 Generous applications of fertilizer are recommended. 

 You buy the best Valiant when you buy this stock. 



For best results Valiant should be produced as an extra-early tomato.
