MASTER MARGLOBE. ‘This Master strain, 
after 26 years, still maintains its original 
characteristics. It has earned millions of 
dollars for the tomato industry. 80 days 
to maturity after planting. Stokes’ Mas- 
ter Marglobe is a 5% ounce shipping to- 
mato, perfectly formed with smooth shoul- 
ders and a very solid interior. Its high 
resistance to fusarium wilt and nail head 
rust virtually eliminated those diseases.

STOKESCROSS NO. 2. (70 days to maturity 
after transplanting.) An improved F2 hy- 
brid introduced last year for the first time. 
An early and continuous bearer of full-size 
(5% oz.), full-flavored fruit suitable for 
market or for processing. This new F2 
cross is the product of our winter proving 
ground in the Province of Santa Clara, 
Cuba. It is a tomato with great possibil- 
ities. It combines earliness, size, and pro- 
ductiveness. Stokescross No. 2 is deep red 
in color, free from interior core, and its 
rich flavor recommends it to all market 
gardeners.

STOKESCROSS NO. 4. (75 days to maturity 
after transplanting.) One of the greatest 
tomatoes ever introduced. Its hybrid vigor 
enables the plant to develop a heavy crop 
of 6 to 7 ounce fruit. A tomato which will 
bring substantial profit to the grower. This 
brilliant Fe hybrid is already looked upon 
as a variety of enormous importance by 
the grower and shipper group, and by those 
who grow for canneries. Its surprising 
vigor is at once seen in its ability to pro- 
duce large, solid, highly flavored fruit in 
enormous quantities. Highly acceptable to 
the “Green Wrap” trade. It will mature 
fully 10 days in advance of Rutgers and 
ABEL'S SEED HOUSE, READING, PA. 
will surpass Rutgers in production by a 
wide margin. Our own 1951 production 
figures averaged 15.4 tons per acre as com- 
pared with our Rutgers production of 11.4 
tons per acre. In dollar return it brought 
$518 per acre, a high figure in any grow- 
ing area. It is almost crack-free, a factor 
probably due to its deeper root system. 
Stokescross No. 4 will develop fulll color 
right to the stem. Its interior structure 
will allow long distance shipping. It is 
noted for its delicate sweet flavor.

VALIANT. (68 days to maturity after trans- 
planting.) The most important tomato for 
the extra early market. It is large, solid, 
smooth, and a heavy producer. Valiant de- 
velops a Marglobe type fruit within 3 days 
of the older Harliana. It has an open vine, 
which does not always protect the fruit 
from the sun, but in its special field, the 
very early market, it is highly prized. 
Valiant will be most successful on sandy 
loam. Generous applications of fertilizer 
are recommended.

QUEENS. (70 days to maturity after trans- 
planting.) A large early market tomato 
introduced in 1951 by Professor Lyman G. 
Schermerhorn of Rutgers University. 
Queens produces large clusters of 6 ounce 
fruit. Foliage is light, blossoms set pro- 
fusely and size is maintained well into the 
season. Before its introduction Queens 
was subjected to 10 years testing and 
wide-spread trials.

RUTGERS CERTIFIED. A recent introduc- 
tion by the New Jersey Experiment Station 
which has deservedly achieved general pop- 
ularity. Primarily intended for canning, has 
also proven a good green-wrap shipper and 
all-purpose variety of wide adaptation. Bred 
from Marglobe and J.T.D., it combines the 
best qualities of both, including Marglobe’s 
resistance to disease and J.T.D.’s habit of 
ripening from the interior outwards. Plant 
large with thick stems and vigorous foliage. 
Fruits globular; bright red, smooth with 
thick walls and small seed cells. 86 days.
