GARDENING IS A PROFITABLE HOBBY 
— BECAUSE — 
A good garden will go a long ways toward pushing down the high cost of living. 
F, STOKESCROSS No. 5 
Early Main Crop. 75 Days. 6 Ounces. 
F2 stands for second generation Hybrids. 
We were so well pleased with the yields and the quality of 
this Hybrid Tomato that we are pleased to offer it again. 
Don’t let another season get by without trying it. 
This tomato is distinguished by its amazing vigor. Pro- 
duction increase up to 30% is not unusual. Due to its matur- 
ing first hands, and a continuing harvest of large, smooth- 
shouldered fruit, the picking season is extended at least two 
weeks. The unusual vigor of Stokescross No. 5 will at once 
be recognized by tomato growers. This directly contributes 
to its high color and rich flavor. No. 5 was bred essentially 
as a processing tomato, but it has proved to be extremely 
profitable on the green wrap and climax basket markets. 
Market reports indicate that Stokescross No. 5 far outsold 
competing open-pollinated varieties.

Planting Instructions *Can be grown in any soil which is not too wet. The 
seed should be sown in March or April, in rows 14 inches apart, and lightly cov- 
ered with a layer of soil % to % inch deep. When the seed is up the plants 
should be thinned out. The permanent bed should be prepared by digging a 
trench 18 inches wide and 20 inches deep. Fill this one-third full of well-rotted
