TOMATO SEED 

This is the familiar tamper-proof canister carrying Stokes dependable 
tomato seed. It is one of the most respected seed packages in North 
America. While this booklet is devoted to the delux Stokescross 
Hybrids and Foundation Stocks, do not overlook the fact that Stokes 
Authorized Distributors also are able to quote at all times on the 
regular Stokes strains. These, too, are justly famous. 
A FINAL WORD 
1. Let us repeat—plant the very best seed. That is 
the Alpha and Omega of .tomato growing. Any com- 
promise on seed can spoil your whole effort. Far too 
many growers take their seed and plants for granted. 
2. Set up a dated schedule for each operation, and, 
subject to weather changes, follow it. 
3. Study the production suggestions and the 
chart. They are supported by long experience. If they 
suggest changes in your routine, have the courage to 
try them. 
4. Inspect your crop daily. Study its every need. 
Remember that you are the manager. 
5. Aim for twelve pounds per plant, rather than 
twelve tons per acre. Concentrate on the individual 
plant. Be a perfectionist with your tomatoes, nurture 
them, protect and respect them. Make them pay you 
the high price. Tomato growing is a great challenge. 
Give it your best.
