What Do The Critics Say? 



Many are enthusiastic. Some are critical. There is the usual professional 

 jealousy, for these men have lost some of their professional prerogatives. We 

 keep matching our work and our wits against some of the keenest men in the 

 business. Here and there size has been criticized, but there were long dry 

 periods in 1952. After all, who can expect full size when 60 fruits per plant 

 are competing for fertilizer and moisture components required for thirty fruits 

 per plant. A Purdue professor recently said that in the next ten years 90% 

 of cannery tomatoes will be F2 Hybrids. It is results that count. 



Will Southern Grown Plants Be Available? 



Yes, from the usual Southern sources. Over 25 plant growers will have our 

 seed stocks, but advance reservations must be made. A list of plant growers 

 who will produce Stokescross plants will be sent on request. In some cases you 

 will prefer to send your own seed to your plant grower and have the protection 

 of your own acreage. The seed cost is the same. The $1.00 per 1000 plants 

 premium on Stokescross Hybrids has been abolished. Ask for special seed 

 quotations in quantities of 10 pounds or over.
