JOHNSON & STOKES, PHILADELPHIA

 H^LU Cpemona 

 Celepy = 



When we first offered the seed of our now 

 celebrated Winter Queen Celery seven years 

 ago, we did not expect so soon to be able to 

 offer another new variety which we believe 

 to be superior to it. The New Cremona is a 

 sport from Winter Queen, which we have 

 established by five years of careful selection, 

 partaking of all its best qualities, much hand- 

 somer in color and form, bleaching more 

 quickly, requiring only five or six days, 

 and with but slight earthing up. Stalks are 

 broad, thick, crisp and of fine nutty flavor. It 

 is worthy of first place as a late celery, being 

 unsurpassed as a long keeper. If you grow 

 New Cremona once you will grow it always, as 

 it is by far (he best late celery in cultivation 

 for either the market or the home garden. 



Prices, per pkt., 20c.; per oz., $1.25 ; 4 ozs. 

 for $4.00. 



Supply of seed is so limited again this sea- 

 son that we cannot sell more than 4 ounces to 

 one customer.

 CUhite Plume Celery 



A new strain of White Plume Celery, selected and 

 improved by Myers & Bowman, the well-known Phila- 

 delphia market gardeners. It is unquestionably the 

 earliest celery known, being ready for market 10 days 

 to 2 weeks earlier than any other strain. It difiers 

 also from the old White Plume in size and habit, some- 

 what resembling the Paris Golden Self-Blanching, but 

 more stocky and robust, throwing out from 8 to 12 

 hearts. Leaves are very light in color and entirely free 

 from green celery. It has proven to be by far the hand- 

 somest, best and most salable early celery that has been 

 offered on Philadelphia markets the past two seasons. 



Choice home-grown seed, per pkt., lOc; oz., 50c.; 

 } lb., $1.25 ; lb., $4.50.
