Tomato Stokescross No. 5 
Stokescross No. 5 is one of the strongest cropping 
tomatoes ever introduced. It will mature within 75 
days from transplanting—l0 days earlier than Rut- 
gers—developing a continuing harvest of highly 
colored, rich flavored, 6 oz. fruit, that is nearly crack 
free. It is offered as an important addition to our 
list. Although bred essentially as a processing 
tomato, Stokescross No. 5 has been found equally 
profitable as a market tomato. We shall not be sur- 
prised to have you report that it will out-produce 
and out-sell any tomato you have ever grown. This 
seed is sold in the introducer’s original package. 
Price: Garden packet (approx. 200 seeds), 50c.; 
Trade packet (approx. 500 seeds), $1.00; Ounce 
packet, $5.00. 
Rutgers. (85 days). An outstanding variety 
developed by the New Jersey Experiment Station. 
The strong vigorous plants are wilt-resistant and 
especially productive. Large, handsome, solid fruits, 
globe-shaped deep scarlet ripening from inside out. 
Bred from Marglobe and J. T. D., it combines the 
best qualities of both. Intended for canning, 1!t 1s 
an all purpose, main crop variety only a few days 
later than Pritchard. The quality is excellent. Per 
oz., 80c.; %4-lb., $2.50; 1b., $7.50. 
Improved Stone. (86 days). A heavily produc- 
tive canning variety. Improved Stone is earlier and 
smoother than the original Stone. Fruits scarlet, 
flattened but deep, solid. Per oz., 80c.; 1%4-lb., $2.50; 
lb., $7.50.
