ybrid TOMATOES ~ 
Advantages of Hybrid Tomatoes 
It has been proven that true hybrids grow faster than open pollinated varieties, produce 
greater yields, show more vigor, and bear a more uniform product over a longer period 
of time. It is possible to incorporate into hybrids, disease resistance, the best feature 
of their parents, and to eliminate many of the bad features. If you want uniform fruit, 
extra yield, and better quality, we highly recommend the hybrid varieties listed below. The 
proper use of fertilizer in your soil is essential with hybrids as well as with other varieties. 
NEW! HYBRID TOMATO NO. 1 
70 days. This is the hybrid that gave our customers so much satisfaction last sea- 
son. Early midseason hybrid particularly outstanding for the quality and rich flavor of 
its fruits. It is a great producer, yielding 20% more than Marglobe or Rutgers. 
Fruits are medium to large, firm, thick walled, average 8 ozs. in weight, deep 
globular in shape, scarlet-red in color; flesh is meaty and so rich in flavor that other 
popular varieties seem flat in comparison. A valuable main crop Tomato for the home 
garden, market grower and long-distance shipping. Pkt., 35c; 3 pkts., $1.00. 
STOKESCROSS No. 5 HYBRID. Being introduced for the 
first time this year. This Tomato proved many strong points
