STOKES FOUNDATION STOCK 



RED JACKET 



Potato leaf. Fine flavor. Brilliant color. 



Red Jacket^ a potato leaf tomato, highly praised by the canners of 

 Western New York. Flavor and color are factors in this. 



Red Jacket, an introduction of the New York State 

 Experiment Station 1947. The variety was developed 

 by Professor W. T. Tapley from a Bounty x Hosenfelt 

 cross. It holds the uniform color gene factor of Bounty, 

 and the potato leaf factor of Hosenfelt. It is a remark- 

 able tomato and beyond doubt has an important 

 future. The flavor of Red Jacket is one of its best fea- 

 tures. The heavy concentration of fruit often allows the 

 entire crop to be gathered in two pickings. It is a matter 

 of great credit to Mr. Tapley, a member of the "Stokes 

 Alumni Association," that his Gem, Red Jacket, and 

 Longred in three years have already taken 50% of 

 the New York State cannery acreage. The stock herein 

 offered has been grown directly from stock seed from 

 the Geneva Station. 



Canners everywhere will do well to test Red Jacket 

 under varying conditions. It has unusual qualities of 

 production, color and flavor that cannot fail to bring 

 strong and favorable reaction by grower and proces- 

 sor. We predict an important future for Red Jacket.
