BONNY BEST • • • 



Grown in New York State under Ideal Conditions 



For nearly thirty years the Bonny Best John Baer family has been the outstanding leader of the second-early 

 group. It is a Tomato of enormous economic importance in New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, Washington, 

 and Oregon. Walter P. Stokes introduced the original Bonny Best in 1908. The strain we are offering is known 

 as the Carrier Strain. It is large, deep and smooth, and is a heavy producer. We have harvested this 1938 seed in 

 New York State. It is an excellent stock which is strongly recommended. 



Price, postpaid: Trade pkt. 25 els.; oz. 50 cts.; 1 ,1b. $1.50; lb. $5; 5 lbs. $22.50 



This field of Bonny Best was photographed near Williamson, N. Y. It produced in excess of 20 tons per acre 



Proving-Ground Stocks for Greenhouse Forcing 



Each year we supply important quantities of this elite seed to growers of hothouse Tomatoes. It is also in 

 demand by others who can profit by absolute perfection in their operation. This seed is comparable in every way 

 to stock seed for our own pedigreed acreage. It is all grown at Stokesdale and is all the direct product of single- 

 plant selection. 



The fact that customers purchase this obviously high-priced seed year after year indicates that the extra invest- 

 ment pays its way. The high production expense of hothouse Tomatoes requires that only the most perfect seed- 

 stocks be used. The five varieties offered give a fair range of choice. Here again we recommend that at least two, 

 if not three, varieties be used. Growing conditions and changing market values make that much diversification 

 desirable.

I am glad to say in regard to the Tomatoes which I raised in the greenhouse last winter that the 

 Stokesdale did very well for an inside crop. I had Bonny Best for about two-thirds of my planting and 

 the rest Stokesdale. The latter made larger Tomatoes and very smooth and solid. I want to grow more 

 of them next year and shall be needing seed for same. — B. B., Colora, Md.
