Tomatoes 
A packet of seed produces about 150 plants; 1 oz. about 2000 plants; %4 Ib. per acre. 
Tomatoes contain lots of nitrogen; go easy with fertilizer on the plant bed. 
Sow inside about February 15th (7 to 9 weeks) before field planting, transplant 
once or twice to avoid crowding; harden off and transplant to field after danger of 
frost, about May 15th or earlier if protected. Set 2 to 6 feet apart in the row and 
3 to 6 feet between the rows. Soil should be well fertilized, 1 pound to 50 square feet. 
888 Stokesdale Pkt., 10c; Ye 0z., 40c; o2., 75c; % 1b., $2.25 
(Certified Seed.) (70 days.) Our strain has been specially selected for earliness, 
large size and heavy yield. The fruits have a rich red interior color and canning 
tests this past year showed a deeper color than other popular canning varieties. The 
vines are very vigorous and productive. Stokesdale is an ideal variety for growing 
on ground that is not overly rich, as it will produce Tomatoes early of average 
size, where other varieties are too 
small. An excellent main crop va- 
riety featuring earliness, quality and 
heavy production.
