Tomato—Continued 
Stokescross No. 5. (Registered Trade Mark). A 
new F2 Tomato Hybrid of great importance. This 
second generation hybrid is distinguished by its 
aiazing vigor. Production increases up to 30% are 
not unusual. Stokescross No. 5 has been tested com- 
petitively in all parts of the United States and has 
been generally accepted as an introduction of great 
importance. 
Tomato Stokescross No. 5 
Stokescross No. 5 is one of the strongest cropping 
tomatoes ever introduced. It will mature in about 75 
days from transplanting—1l0 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. Growers report that it out pro- 
duced and out sold any tomato they ever grew. Seed 
sold in the introducer’s original package. Price: 
Garden packet (approx. 200 seeds), 25c.; Trade 
packet (1% oz.,) $1.00; Ounce packet, $5.00.

best qualities of both. Intended for canning, it is an
