STOKES FOUNDATION STOCK 
VALIANT 
Extra Early. Extra Solid. Extra Large. 

Valiant, a Stokes introduction of 1936, is an out-cross 
that has made a valued contribution to the tomato 
industry of the United States and Canada. It is a half- 
brother of Stokesdale. Valiant will develop a Mar- 
globe type fruit within three days of the older Earliana 
(Johnson and Stokes, 1901). It has a sparse, open vine 
which will not always protect the fruit from the sun, but 
in its special field—the early market—it is highly 
prized. Valiant will be most successful on heavy loam. 
Generous applications of fertilizer are recommended. 
You buy the best Valiant when you buy this stock. 

For best results Valiant should be produced as an extra-early tomato.
