Tomato, Stokescross No. 5 
(Registered Trademark) 
A new F? Tomato Hybrid of great importance. 
This second generation hybrid is distinguished by 
its amazing vigor. Production increases up to 30% 
are not unusual. Stokescross No. 5 has been tested 
competitively in all parts of the United States and 
has been generally accepted as an introduction of 
great importance. 
Stokescross No. 5 is one of the strongest cropping 
tomatoes ever introduced. It will mature within 
75 days from transplanting, 10 days earlier than 
Rutgers—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. Grower’s report that 
it out-produced and out-sold any tomato they ever 
grew. Seed sold in the introducer’s original package.
