F2 OF THE HYBRID 
TOMATOES 
The phenomenon of hybrid vigor is an estab- 
lished fact, but first generation or Fl tomato 
hybrids are extremely expensive, so plant breed- 
ers have developed 2 lines which show almost 
no segregation and the seed is not as costly 
to produce. The F2 of the hybrid that we offer 
has these undisputed advantages: 1. heavier 
production; 2. a lengthened harvest; 3. richer 
color and flavor; 4. more solid interior, and 5, 
usually less cracking with the over-all result 
of more and better quality fruit, often doubling 
the gross cash income, 
443. STOKESCROSS NO. 1. (60 days.) 
Recommended to the grower who profits from 
the extra early market. It is distinguished by 
a fabulous production of beautiful fruit. Vine 
growth is restricted, but under normal summer 
temperatures, it affords the fruit sufficient pro- 
tection, The fruit is very solid, deep, round, 
smooth and bright scarlet, averaging 4% ounces 
in weight. Pkt., 25c; Ye oz., 95c; 0z., $1.70; %4 
lb., $5.15, postpaid. 
426. STOKESCROSS NO. 2. (65 days.) 
The five ounce fruits ripen along with Stokes- 
dale and resemble it but have a far heavier 
production. It is enormously productive, and 
with proper soil and fertilization will have 
adequate foliage protection. The fruit has style, 
excellent color and high flavor. Pkt., 25c; Yo 
0z., 95c; oz., $1.70; Y% Ib., $5.15, postpaid. 
430. STOKESCROSS NO. 4. (70 days.) 
The important feature of this tomato is its 
ability to produce large, brilliant, smooth toma- 
toes ten days earlier than Rutgers. [Fruits are 
medium large weighing approximately six ounces. 
The medium foliage will set fruit in profusion 
when other heavier vined varieties are setting 
little. Under balanced conditions, because of its 
hybrid vigor, it develops a continuous growth of 
root, vine, and fruit, which is probably responsi- 
ble for the fact that it has little cracking. We 
highly recommend this as an early main crop 
variety for the gardener, shipper, and processor.
