STOKESCROSS No. 4. 5! ozs. fruit ripens 80 days from 
transplanting. ‘This brilliant Fz hybrid is already established 
as a Tomato of enormous importance. Its hybrid vigor is 
at once seen in its ability to produce large, solid, highly 
flavored fruit in quantity, fully 10 days in advance of Rut- 
gers. Under normal weather conditions it will be almost 
crack free, a factor probably due to its deeper root system. 
STOKESCROSS | No; 1 (1951). Formerly known as 
Stokescross No. 41%-0z. fruit that ripens 70 days from 
transplanting. This new F; hybrid has been bred in Cuba, 
and is especially recommended for use by ‘Tomato growers 
who can profit by a prodigious production of early ripening, 
brilliant fruit. It is essentially a market garden Tomato but 
it is likely to find an important place with the processors 
of the more northerly Tomato districts. The fruit some- 
what resembles Stokesdale but the plant is far more robust 
and will furnish better coverage. It carries a sparkling rich 
Tomato flavor. 
V4 oz., $1.25; V2 oz., $2.00; 1 oz., $3.75; 4 ozs., 
$10.00, postpaid. Available in larger quantities and 
special prices quoted on request. 
Hybrid Tomatoes For Forcing 
“Just a Little More of Everything” 
Two important Hybrid Tomatoes, bred and grown by Mr. Roy H. Burghart, and introduced to the trade as a better and 
more vigorous Tomato that is more resistant to wilt and disease. They are ideal greenhouse forcing hybrids, and have 
‘just a little more of everything’”’ that is desirable in a Tomato. With increased production at a lower cost, we are able 
to offer these at lower prices, enabling greater distribution and a better crop at lower cost. 
SPARTAN HYBRID. This is a cross between Michigan 
State Forcing and Cooper’s Special, and is an excellent green- 
house hybrid, a week earlier than the parents and about 20 
per cent more productive in weight and fruit. Color red, 
globular shape, medium size fruit, 5 to 6 ounces in weight, 
about three to pound; growing in clusters six to eight. A 
meaty ‘Tomato, small seed cavity. Vine is more open, giving 
very uniform ripening of fruit. Being extra vigorous in 
growth, it is more resistant to both wilt and disease. 
Both of these Hybrids are put up in sealed packets: 
NORTHERN HYBRID. This is a cross between Michi- 
gan State Forcing and Sutton’s Best of All, and is an ideal 
greenhouse hybrid for northern growing, especially in 
CANADA and northern United States. In productivity it is 
similar to Spartan Hybrid, but is more vigorous in growing, 
particularly in dark fall and winter weather which is 
prevalent in the North. Vine is open, permitting uniform 
ripening. Fruit is red in color, globular in shape, but is 
smaller, 4 to 5 ounces of solid fruit in clusters of ten to 
twelve. More resistant to wilt and disease on account of its 
vigorous growth. 
50 seeds, $1.00; 100 seeds, $1.50; 250 seeds, $2.50; 
500 seeds, $4.00; 1000 seeds, $7.50; 1% oz., $12.50; 2 oz., $20.00; oz., $35.00, postpaid. 
HYBRID TOMATO, FOREMOST E-21. This is at least 10 days earlier than Rutgers in our Michigan plantings. Fruits 
are almost globular, deep scarlet-red, larger than Stokesdale and just about as large as Rutgers. They are notably resistant 
to cracking and blossom end scars. The intermediate vine has somewhat less spread than Rutgers, but the plants are ex- 
tremely vigorous and heavily productive. The fruit sizes have been well maintained right up to the end of the season. 
Trial packets containing about 200 seeds: $1.00; 14 oz., $2.75; 2 oz., $5.50; 1 oz., $10.00, postpaid.
