"Accuracy and All Reasonable Safeguards" 



The work at Stokesdale goes on unremittingly. It is the backbone of our entire effort. Without it our stocks 

 would slide back to mediocre standards within a two-year period. Here, all summer long, a trained crew of men 

 is engaged in the tedious, but necessary, job of measuring, weighing, and appraising single plants and single 

 fruits. The slightest advance is promptly reflected in the great mirror of Stokesdale — our customers' fields. But 

 we do not stop here. Tomato varieties react very differently under varying conditions. For this reason records 

 of our stocks are noted in over 100 widely scattered sections. All of these reports are thoroughly checked and 

 analyzed. It is obvious that the planting-range of any variety is limited.
