STOKESCR 

 F - T O MA TO 



These well established F-2 strains have now proven their 

 great worth to the industry under many arid varying con- 

 ditions. An F-2 tomato is the second generation of an F-l 

 hybrid. There are many advantages of an F-2 over the 

 conventional open-polinated types. They will have a 

 longer harvest, a higher yield per acre, and in many 

 instances have greater resistance to disease and to 

 cracking. 



STOKESCROSS No. 1-70 days. This sets readily on a 

 vine approximating that of Rutgers. The fruit size is in 

 the normal 6 oz. range. The important factors of Stokes- 

 cross No. 1, include early sotting and the ability to yield 

 heavily throughout the season. It is recommended for 

 greenwrap, for vine ripened, and for processing. 



STOKESCROSS No. 4-75 days. The vine is lighter than 

 Rutgers. Fruit size is in the normal 5 oz. range. It sets 

 readily and has a fast maturity. It is especially recom- 

 mended for the shorter season areas, the northern tier 

 states, and Canada. 



STOKESCROSS No. 5-77 days. Fruit range 5 to 6 ozs. 

 The foliage is fully equal to Rutgers. We do not recom- 

 mend heavy nitrogen applications until the main set is 

 established. Stokescross No. 5 has proven its place as a 

 distinguished all purpose tomato, either for the fresh 

 market or for the canner. It has a long harvest and will 

 maintain its quality throughout the season. 



STOKESCROSS No. 6-78 days. On a quality basis, 

 Stokescross No. 6 out-points any tomato our company has 

 introduced in 75 years. Its outstanding factors include 

 resistance to Fusarium and to cracking. Stokescross No. 6 

 requires a full season for maturity, and will keep bearing 

 until frost with healthy vine and with an interior that is 

 of the highest quality. Plant in 6 ft. rows. 



Stokes is the largest producer of F-2 tomato seed in 

 the United States.
