JOHNSON & STOKES, PHILADELPHIA 



WAKEFIELD 



Early and Summer Varieties. 



One ounce of seed will sow a bed of about forty square 

 feet and produce about two thousand plants. 



JOHNSON & STOKES' MARKET GARDENERS' 

 CABBAGE, No. 2. The earliest and most compact of all 

 large cabbages. (See specialties, page 5.) Pkt., 15c.; oz., 

 35c.; i41b.,S1.00.; lb., S^i.oO. 



JOHNSON & STOKES' WONDERFUL. Where ex- 

 treme earliness is the most important point, we recommend 

 this variety, it is ready for market or table in seventy-five 

 to eiKhty days from sowing; the seed, coming isi a few days 

 ahead of our Johnson & Stokes' Earliest, but does not, 

 of course, form quite so large or solid a head. It has few 

 loose outer leaves, and will produce a larger crop tlian any 

 other variety, from the fact that it on readily be planted as 

 close as fifteen to sixteen inches apart each wav, or about 

 15,(hjO to the acre. Pkt., lOc; oz., 30e.; 34 lb, 90c.;"lb., S3.25. 



EAKLT JERSEY WAKEFIEI-D. (Extra Setecled 

 Stock.^ While this sort is not so early as John^^on & Stoltes' 

 Earliest and New "Wonderful, it" will be found to be the 

 very best conical headed sort to come in immediately after 

 them. Unfortunately the great demand for this sort has 

 brought upon the market large quantities of coarse and in- 

 ferior stock, which has tended to diminish the popularity of 

 the sort; but when pure home-grown stock, such as we 

 offer, i< used, it cannot fail to give |)erfect satisfaction. Lead- 

 ing marfccf. gardeners around Philadelpiiia, New York, Boston 

 and elsewhere pronounce our strain "the verv best they can 

 get." Pkt., lOc; oz., 25c.; J4 lb., 75e.; lb., Sl.ib. 



KABLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. PHOTOGRAPHED DURING 

 GROWTH. 



NEW LARGE OR CHARLESTON T\'AKEFIELD. 



(See photographic prou-> attove.) We were the first ti> intro- 

 duce, some years since, this now popular market cabbage. It 

 is about six days later than Early Jersey Wakelield. The 

 heads are fully oue-half larger. It is very compact in growth 

 and can easily be planted in rows two feet apart and twenty 

 inches in the rows. One great advantage is. it does not 

 burst open when ripe, like many other ejirly sorts, and con- 

 sequently can be left standing on the ground a long while 

 without injurv, until a favorable opportunity for cutting. 

 Pkt., lOc; oz., 2oc.; % lb., 75c.; lb., fl'.To. 



EARLY AVINNINGSTADT. The Prussian Prize 



Stock. (See photograph above.) iSIany consider the Early 

 Winningstiidt the very best for early market sales, as it in- 

 variably grows very hard, and will iieadon soils where many 

 other sorts fail entirely. Reliable stock is hard to get, as 

 seedsmen usually import it from England and France. The 

 seed we offer, howe\er, is Avierican grown, acclimated and 

 selected from the original Prussian Prize Stock. Those in- 

 tending to plant this variety will find this strain far superior 

 in eailiness, size, solidity and great uniformity of heading 

 to anv other ever sold in this country. Pkt., 5c.; oz.,20c.; 

 Ji lb.,".50c.; lb., S1.75; 2 lbs., S3.00. 



LOCDKEBACK'S ALL YEAR ROUND. (See photo- 

 graph above.) This cabbage originated with Daniel Louder- 

 back, one of the oldest and most successful of Philadelphia 

 market gardeners, and has had a great local reputation for 

 several .vears. It is not only the finest early Drumhead in 

 cultivation, but is equally as good for second and Ihird. 

 early, intermediate and late. It heads large, compact 

 and solid, with very short stem and fewouterleaves, and un- 

 flagging under the hottest sun or heaviest frost. It may be 

 sown successively and continuously during all periods when 

 cabbage is planted. The seed we offer was grown by the 

 originator. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 30c.; ki lb., 90c.; lb., $3.25. 



HENDERSON'S EARLY SUMMER. (See photograph 

 above.) Tiiis popular sort is ten days later than the Early 

 Jersey Wakefield, but larger in size and will stand on the 

 ground much longer without bursting open._ In this respect, 

 it is much superior to Fottler's Brunswick. While the heads 

 are much larger than the Early Jersey Wakefield, its very 

 compact habit enables it to be planted almost as close. The 

 heads are very hard and solid throughout and of fine uniform 

 shape. Pkt.,"5c.; oz., 20c.; % lb., 65c ; lb., S2.25. 



ALL HEAD EARLY. (See Photograph above.) This 

 new variety originated on Long Island, and ■was first intro- 

 duced in 1891. The habit of growth is very compact, allow- 

 ing it to be planted very close. We can recommend it as one 

 of the most thoroughbred and uniform cabbages we have 

 ever grown, as in a large field which we grew for seed the 

 past season every plant formed a head fully as large as A tl 

 Seasons, of perfect and uniform shape, and fully asearly as- 

 the best strains of Early Summer. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; J^, 

 lb., 6.5e.; lb., S2.25.
