439. STOKESCROSS No. 4 
HYBRID TOMATO 
This brilliant F2 Hybrid has established it- 
self 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 nutri- 
tion 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 dur- 
ing most of the season. Another feature of 
Stokescross No. 4 is its remarkable flavor. 
It is recommended to all growers for table 
use and for canning. Its unusually sweet 
flavor has been widely commented upon.

for shipment. The flesh is deep red 
and fine grained. Pkt. 25c; oz. 70c;

232. SALAD BOWL 
LETTUCE 
A large, mid-season, medium 
green, lobed-leaved slow-bolting, 
non-heading lettuce. It differs in ap- 
pearance from all other varieties of 
lettuce in that the leaves are deeply 
lobed giving the mature plant a 
resemblance to Endive. The lobing 
of the leaves makes them much less 
subject to injury by breakage in 
handling than any other varieties of 
lettuce. As it is very slow to shoot 
to seed, Salad Bowl develops large 
mounds of tender leaves before 
bolting. It is a very attractive home 
garden lettuce of good quality. By 
mail postpaid, Pkt. 25c; 1/2 oz. 55c; 1 oz. 95c; V4 lb. $2.40; 1/2 lb. $3.60; 1 Ib. $6.00.
