70 days to maturity after transplanting. Where size is not the 
first consideration. Stockescross No. 3 is a tomato of importance. 
Under normal conditions, it will average 4 1/2 ounces. This is 
the size required by the important cellophane trade. Stokescross 
No. 3 is early maturing, and if normally fed and sprayed will 
hold through a four months bearing season, with 40 to 80 fruits 
per plant. This cross will give its best performance on the heavier 
soils, with normal moisture. It is one of the sweetest flavored 
tomatoes. 
Stokescross No. 4 ...... ater ire OME ares 1 oz. 5.00 
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 fruits. This brilliant 
F2 hybrid is already looked upon as a variety of enormous im- 
portance by the grower and shipper group, and by those who 
grow for canneries. Its surprising vigor is at once seen in its 
ability to produce 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 will surpass Rutgers 
in production by a wide margin. It is almost erackfree, a factor 
probably due to its deeper root system. Stokes-cross No. 4 will 
develop full color right to the stem. Its interior structure will allow 
long distance shipping. It is noted for its delicate sweet flavor.

82 days to maturity after transplanting. This wonderful tomato 
has many points of similarity with Stokescross No. 4, but Stokes- 
cross No. 5 has heavier foliage which is an added advantage under 
burning sun. Yields exceeding 30 tons per acre have been recorded 
because of its long harvest season. Its hybird vigor develops a 
strong full vine which sets heavily and which develops highly fla- 
vored and highly colored fruit. This F2 hybrid has the same 
qualities of crack resistance as Stokescross No. 4. No tomato is 
completely crack free following a heavy rain. The interior of 
Stokescross No. 5 is very solid, making it satisfactory both as a 
long distance shipper and as a canner.
