GILT EDGE SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER. 



GJXT EDGE EAKLY SNOWBAlt. The strain we 

 have of this variety is without doubt tlie rcnj best to be 

 had. Our stock was grown from tlie very finest si)eci- 

 niens. noted for tlieir earliness, dwarf habit, large size, 

 uniforiu slmpe, and compact growth. None of those we 

 set out for seed failed to produce large, beautiful, smooth, 

 snow-white heads. For forcing under glass during winter 

 and early spring, or for planting later in the open ground, 

 no stock supplied by any other house can surpass it. It 

 should never be planted more than eighteen inches apart 

 <^ach way. Pkt., 25c.; ^ oz., Sl.OO.; oz., ^.00.; X lb., $M.OO.

GOLDEN HEART. GIANT WHITE SOLID. 



WHITE PLUME. 



■\VHITE PtUME. Each year adds to the popularity 

 and value of this variety. Many market gardexiers now 

 plant their entire crop of it with the most profitable results. 

 Like our Golden Self-Blanching, the heart and stalk is 

 naturally white, and consequently it requires very little 

 earthing up to blanch it. while most other varieties neces- 



sitate high banking with the hoe, whicli is both costly and 

 troublesome. Its eating qualities are of the very best, and 

 although its keeping qualities are not equal to our Golden 

 Self-Bliinchiny, yett\s a celery for the fall and early winter 

 use it is nusiu'passed. AVIien placed idongside of our Nkw 

 Rose Celerv, it forms the finest ktiid of an ornament for 

 either the market stall or dining-tablc. Pkt., lOc; oz., 30c.;

GOLDEN HEAKT DWARF. This distinct variety is 

 the ■}nost popular variety atnong market i/ardeiicry. It is en- 

 tirely so/iV/, tni excellent keeper^ and of Jinc iiiillf/ flavor. In 

 size and habit of growth, it is much the same as Half-Dwarf 

 White kinds, except, when blanched, the heart, which is large 

 and full, is of a waxy, golden yellow, rendering it very 

 striking and sliowy for either market or private use. We have 

 an unusually fine strain, and sell hundreds of pounds each 

 season to our most critical market gardeners. Pkt., 10c. ; 

 oz., 2.1C.; % lb., 65e.; lb., K.-^O. 



GIANT WHITK SOLID. The best of the large grow- 

 ing sorts and a favorite varietv. solid, crisp and tender, 

 Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20e.; 3-ilb., 60c.; lb., $2.00. 



JOHNSON & stokes' GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CELERY. 



JOHNSON & STOKES' GOLDEN SELF-BLANCH- 

 ING. Tliis new variety, which we first introduced to the 

 American public in 1884, we can recommend to our friends 

 and customers "with great confidence. It is pronounced by all 

 our market-garden patrons ^'ho have grown it on our recom- 

 mendation thevery best celery in cultivation. Unlikeother self- 

 blanching varieties, it is a perfect keeper, fully equalling 

 Golden Dwarf, Boston Market and other varieties, which are 

 celebrated for their keeping qualities. Our illustration above 

 will give some idea of its handsome form, growing to very 

 la,rge size, but very stocky and robust. The stalks grow 

 vigorously, with large ribs, very thickly and closely set. It 

 is entirely self-blanching, without any banking-up or covering 

 whatever, even the outer ribs assuming a yellowish-white 

 color of a very fresh and pleasing api^earance. The heart is 

 of a beautiftd golden yellow color , very large, crisp and solid, and 

 unsurpassed in delicious quality nnd flavor. It is unequalled 

 in striking appeaiance on the table or market stall. Beware 

 of mixed and spurious seed of this variety. Our supply of 

 seed is grown by the originator and each package contains our 

 trade label. Pkt., 15c.;' oz., 50c.; ^ lb., $2.00. 



NEW ROSE. In England, the Pink or Red Celeries 

 are much more largely used than the' White varieties, and 

 "ive have often wondered why they were not more grown in 

 this country. They possess many advantages over the 

 'White, being hardier, more solid, and better keepers. The New 

 Rose is the best of all the red varieties, combining all these 

 desirable qualities, and is the most ornamental for the table, 

 with its beautiful rose-colored heart and pink stems. Pkt., 

 10c.; oz., 30c.; % lb., 80c.; lb., $3.00.
