VALIANT — Fine tomatoes for early crop. 
889 Valiant 
Very Early—Large Fruit 
Every year more and more growers are turn- 
ing to our strain of Valiant for their early 
crops. Valiant produces so much larger and 
finer fruit than the old Earliana that it has 
now displaced that variety in nearly all sec- 
tions. The tomatoes are smooth, with a deep 
round shape and a solid, meaty interior. They 
color up much better than other early strains 
and the early yields are very heavy. 
The vines are of spreading habit of growth 
and do best when well fertilized and grown on 
fairly heavy soil. Valiant has already proved 
to be a most popular and profitable variety for 
early market and we recommend it very high- 
ly. Our strain is the true early type and we are 
pleased to offer N. Y. State Certified Seed pro- 
duced here on our farms. Prices on next page. 
867 John Baer—Improved Strain 
Our N. Y. Certified John Baer is well recog- 
nized as the finest strain of this old favorite 
variety. It will produce larger fruit and more 
tons of fine tomatoes to the acre than any 
strain we have ever seen. The fruit is un- 
usually large for this variety, very smooth 
and deep red throughout, coloring right up to 
the stem. The vines are vigorous and healthy 
and produce heavy crops. 
We regard this Improved John Baer as one 
of the best medium early tomatoes, and can 
recommend it most highly both for market 
and canning. N.Y. State Certified Seed of our own 
growing. See prices on next page. 
890 Victor 
Best for Extra Early Crop in Many Sections 
At the time when the old extra early 
varieties have but one or two ripe fruits, 
Victor produces large clusters of beauti- 
ful tomatoes ripening all at once. 
The tomatoes are of good size, 
smooth and solid. Having a character- 
istic light color when green, they turn 
quickly to a brilliant scarlet color all 
over. There are no green spots on 
Victor. 
The vine is a sturdy determinate 
type, that can be planted close together 
(2 x 3 ft. is recommended) and thus 
have more early fruit per acre. If you 
want extra early tomatoes, grow Victor.

888 Stokesdale 
Heavy Yielding Medium Early Type 
If you want a second early tomato that will pro- 
duce heavy crops of fine smooth fruit under 
almost all conditions, grow Stokesdale. Year 
after year, Stokesdale proves to be the most de- 
pendable variety of all the kinds we produce. The 
fruit is medium sized, witha very uniform smooth, 
deep globe shape, bright scarlet color and fine 
quality. The fruit ripens evenly and is very free 
of cracks and blemishes. 
The yields are extremely heavy and the vines 
make a strong vigorous growth. Stokesdale is an 
all-purpose tomato, excellent for market, shipping 
and canning. Our strain is by far the best obtain- 
able and we offer only N. Y. State Certified Seed of 
our own growing. See prices on next page.
