— 439. Stokescross No. 4 Hybrid Tomato 
| This brilliant F2 Hybrid has established itself as one of the most important 
tomatoes now available. It will mature nearly two weeks earlier than 
Rutgers, with continuous bearing until the end of the season. Under 
normal conditions of moisture and nutrition it should produce from three 
to five tons per acre more than standard varieties. Another feature of 
this F2 is that it is nominally free from cracking, a factor probably due 
to its deeper root system. The size of the fruit averages 6 ounces during 
most of the season. Another feature of Stokescross No. 4 is its remarkable 
flavor. If is recommended to all growers for table use and for canning. 
Its unusually sweet flavor has been widely commented upon. By mail 
postpaid, Pkt. 25c; '/4 oz. $1.50; '/ oz. $2.75; oz. $5.00.
