TOMATO SEED 



This is the familiar tamper-proof canister carrying Stokes dependable 

 tomato seed. It is one of the most respected seed packages in North 

 America. While this booklet is devoted to the delux Stokescross 

 Hybrids and Foundation Stocks, do not overlook the fact that Stokes 

 Authorized Distributors also are able to quote at all times on the 

 regular Stokes strains. These, too, are justly famous. 



A FINAL WORD 



1. Let us repeat — plant the very best seed. That is 

 the Alpha and Omega of tomato growing. Any com- 

 promise on seed can spoil your whole effort. Far too 

 many growers take their seed and plants for granted. 



2. Set up a dated schedule for each operation, and, 

 subject to weather changes, follow it. 



3. Study the production suggestions and the 

 chart. They are supported by long experience. If they 

 suggest changes in your routine, have the courage to 

 try them. 



4. Inspect your crop daily. Study its every need. 

 Remember that you are the manager. 



5. Aim for twelve pounds per plant, rather than 

 twelve tons per acre. Concentrate on the individual 

 plant. Be a perfectionist with your tomatoes, nurture 

 them, protect and respect them. Make them pay you 

 the high price. Tomato growing is a great challenge. 

 Give it your best.
