Stokesdale, it develops a deep Marglobe type 
tomato and ripens within 3 days of Earliana. It is 
4 days earlier and often 2 ounces heavier than 
Stokesdale. A valuable tomato for market but not 
primarily adapted as a canner. Our sales have

fruit is smooth, generally of near globe shape, and 
they are exceptionally solid, containing very little 
seed. The fruit is red with a pink tone and the 
sweetest of any we have tried, being unusually 
free of acid. Ideal for tomato juice and by far the 
best for slicing. Every year this variety has gained 
rapidly in popularity. Many home gardeners will 
have nothing else. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; 4 oz. 35c;
