Tomatoes can be your best source of 

 profit if you plant the new seed 

 stocks, and follow the rules. 



Stokes-bred tomato seed is grown for that one man 

 in a hundred who is a perfectionist when it comes to 

 tomatoes. It is produced by a family which has been 

 working on tomatoes for sixty-eight years. The Stokes 

 program of seed development and production is one of 

 precision, thoroughness and control at every stage. 

 Stokes Tomato Seed is the starting point for brilliant 

 uniformity and high production. These inspired stocks 

 have brought high profits and deep satisfaction to 

 thousands of planters. We take pride in bringing them 

 to you. 



Two separate classes of tomatoes are offered in this 

 booklet — five Stokescross F2 Hybrids — all new; and 

 Foundation Stocks of nine open-pollinated varieties, 

 all grown on Stokes Proving Grounds. Any one of these, 

 in its class, will give a distinguished performance. 

 Hybrid tomatoes open a new and alluring future to the 

 industry. No grower can overlook the factors of in- 

 creased vigor, higher production, and fine flavor of a 

 hybrid tomato. The Foundation Stocks from Stokes 

 Proving Grounds have long been famous. This is the 

 mother seed from which Stokes Tomato Seed is pro- 

 duced. It is offered to you only one generation re- 

 moved from the original single plant selections, and as 

 such brings you very close to the heart of the Stokes 

 breeding program. 



Any of the matchless seed stocks described in this 

 booklet can place you in the front ranks of tomato 

 growers. Those who plant this seed will enjoy the ac- 

 knowledged advantage gained from Stokes' years of 

 concentration on tomatoes. There is a strange fascina- 

 tion in reaching out for perfection. This can be yours if 

 you plant Stokes-bred Tomato Seed. Tomatoes can 

 easily be your best source of profit, v/hether you grow 

 five hundred plants, or five hundred acres.
