LANGE'S EARLIANA • • - 



Grown in Ontario by our Canadian 

 Associates • Stokes Seeds Ltd. 



A vastly improved selection out of the Spark's Earliana introduced by Johnson & Stokes in 1900. The seed 

 we are offering this year has been grown for us in Ontario by our Canadian associates, Stokes Seeds Limited. In 

 our opinion it is the earliest and smoothest stock of Lange's Earliana we have ever offered. 



The success of the variety is due to its ability to produce fully half of its crop during the first ten days of harvest. 

 The crown-set is exceptionally heavy and the Tomato is unusually smooth and deep for Earliana. In our opinion 

 it is the finest Earliana available at any price. Blocked plants in New Jersey ripened as early as June 20. It is 

 not at all unusual for the crown-set to carry fully six to twelve developed fruits. 



Price, postpaid: Trade pkt. 25 cts.; oz. 50 els.; V 4 lb. $1.50; lb. $5; 5 lbs. $22.50 



NEW JERSEY 



We had a good crop of Lange's Earliana and Valiant. Rutgers grew in 

 crop fairly well but was terribly hurt by the storm. I think that the seed of 

 all three kinds we tried were high grade. — W. N. C, Monroeville. 



MICHIGAN 



All the Tomatoes I raised were of the Lange's strain of Earliana. I had 

 a good crop, the first home-grown on this market. They were of good sire 

 and quite uniform. — E. H. C, Ipsilanti. 



NEW YORK 



All that have reported agree on the superior character of Valiant. We 

 found it exceptionally early, of fine form and superior quality. I shall use 

 it next year as my No. 1 early variety. Of course, as a second early, Stokesdale 

 has been highly satisfactory with my trade for the past two years. As a late 

 variety, Rutgers leads all others. I find it a wonderful Tomato for all uses. — 

 J. W. D., Skaneateles. 



ILLINOIS 



I have used your Tomato Seed for several years and find it the best to be 

 found on the market any year. My son and I prune and stake all of our plants, 

 some to single stalk and others to two stalks. We sure had some fine To- 

 matoes last season, some Valiant weighing as high as 12 to 16 ounces each. 

 Twenty Valiant Tomatoes weighed 16 pounds. Merchants we sold to said 

 they were the best Tomatoes in this district. Everyone likes the solid meat 

 of all of your Tomatoes. — W. L. M., Decatur. 



PENNSYLVANIA 



The Valiant Tomatoes were wonderful. I had very large stalks and they 

 were loaded with fruit. I never had so large an early Tomato. Lots of 

 hands had eight Tomatoes as large as a tin cup and larger and very solid. I 

 mulched my plants with straw and the fruits were as smooth as hothouse 

 Tomatoes. There were no cracks in the stem ends. The stalks were still 

 green when I was through picking. No signs of blight. — J. B. B.. Johnstown. 



We were very well pleased with Valiant. It came very early for us and 

 was far smoother than Earliana. Production good. Plants set April 28, first 

 picking July I. Stokesdale was a little later. Production good. Similar 

 to Bonny Best. — B. Bros., Malvern. 



Your Valiant was the most wonderful early Tomato I ever raised. It is 

 large, solid, very meaty, and a wonderful producer. Starting to ripen early 

 in July, it continued to fruit very heavily until late September. Took first 

 and second premiums at our Fair among 2 5 entries. Stokesdale is also a 

 \er> large Tomato and did well for us. — O. W. B., Commodore.
