"(68 Days to Maturity after Transplanting 



The Most Important Tomato For The Extra Early Market. 

 It Is Large, Solid, Smooth And A Heavy Producer. 



Valiant, a Stokes introduction of 

 1936, is an out-cross that has 

 contributed much to the tomato 

 industry of the United States and 

 Canada. It is a half-brother of 

 Stokesdale. As a money maker 

 for the extra-early market trade 

 we know of none better. Valiant 

 develops a Marglobe type fruit 

 within 3 days of the older 

 Earliana (Johnson and Stokes 

 1901). It has an open vine, 

 which does not always protect 

 the fruit from the sun, but in its 

 special field, the very early 

 market, it is highly prized. 

 Valiant will be most successful 

 on sandy loam. Generous appli- 

 cations of fertilizer are recom- 

 mended. You buy the originat- 

 or's stock when you buy Valiant 

 from Stokes. 



Stokes Proving Ground Valiant 

 has been consistently the most 

 profitable tomato for the extra- 

 early growers. It is by no means 

 unusual for growers to gross 

 $3.00 to $4.00 per climax basket 

 during most of the season.
