Johnson & Stokes' Specialties for Market Gardeners. 



IMPROVED ARLINGTON WHITE SPINE CUCUMBER 



A marked improvement over other strains of White Spine, and since its introduction a few years 

 ago, it has proven the most profitable variety with all truckers who have grown it, bringing better 

 prices in the Philadelphia, Boston, New York and other large markets than anj' other variety. The 

 vine is very hardy, and its earliness has been developed until the first fruit is ready for shipment a week 

 or more in advance of the best of the old White Spines. The color is a clear, rich green, brilliant and 

 permanent to an extraordinary degree. Its shapely form is well shown in photograph above. In pro- 

 ductiveness it ranks first, the cucumbers being set in profusion, close to the hill, and of unequalled sym- 

 metry and uniformity. While this is the best and most popular sort for market and shipping, there is 

 no better variet}- for forcing in hot-houses and frames. Oz., icc. ; '4 lb., 20c.; lb., 60c.; 5 lbs., $2.50. 



JOHNSON & STOKES' PERFECTED JERSEY PICKLE 



For manj- years we have supplied pickle seed to manj- prominent New Jerse}- growers in the cele- 

 brated pickle district on the Delaware River, about twenty-five miles above Philadelphia, where more 

 cucumbers are grown than in any other section of the United States, over one hundred and fifty thou- 

 sand bushels being picked and annualh- put up for commercial pickles in this section. 



For this reason we have given unusual attention to the selection and improvement of cucumber 

 seed for pickles, and in this new strain, wihch is the result of nine j-ears' careful breeding, we have a 

 strain which is pronounced by growers of 30 years' experience a perfect pickle in all respects. Its 

 desirable form and uniform size are well shown in photograph below. The skin is thin, flesh white, 

 crisp and tender, with but few seeds. The vines are strong and vigorous, bearing continuously and 

 long after all other varieties have ceased to produce. Oz., loc. ; % lb., 25c.; lb., 85c.; 5 lbs. for $4.00 ; 

 25 lbs. and over, 75c. per lb.
