joHqsoi & StoKes' Early manaster Caulowei 



This is not only the earliest, but is the finest cauliflower in the world, and it is so pronounced by 

 all growers who have had it. It is of very dwarf, erect habit, with short outer leaves. Can be planted 

 less than two feet apart each way. It is a sure header, every plant forming a large, solid, perfect 

 head, of the finest table quality. Our seed of the Early Alabaster is American grown, thoroughly 

 acclimated, and from it a crop of cauliflower can be grown as easily as a crop of cabbage, and with 

 greater profit. Pkt., 25c.; 5 pkts., $1.00 ; i oz., $2.50; oz., $5.00; i lb., $16.00.

Samples of Hundreds of Letters Received 



JOHNSON & STOKES' EAKI.IEST CABBAGE 



MoMath Bros., Amerlcus, Ga., June 14, 1901, write: 

 " My cabbage has been a great success ; on the 10th of May, I 

 had large heads of your J. & S. Earliest ; no one else in this 

 section had any until June 1st. Mine were the finest I ever 

 saw. With what I sold I made a gain per acre at the rate of 

 about $1,1U0." 



J. & S. MARKET GARDENERS' No. 3 CABBAGE 



W. J. Greek, Joplin, Mo., writes: "Your Market 

 Gardeners' Cabbage No. 2 is by far the earliest and best I have 

 ever grown. I planted also this season Early Summer 

 Succession, All Head, Surehead, and several other kinds, but 

 Market Gardeners' No. 2 surpassed them all." 



FOREMOST GERMAN CABBAGE 



W. S. Cooper, Seymour, Conn., writes : " Your Foremost 

 German Cabbage did splendidly. It was ahead of all others

EARI.T ALABASTER CAULIFLiOWER 



Angelo Biggi, Lakeport, Cal., writes: "I have never 

 been successful in raising cauliflower except from your seed.

 Early Alabaster, the smallest weighed four pounds, while 

 many weighed over ten pounds." 



RUBICON CARROT 



S. M. Powell, Manhasset, N. Y., writes : " I sowed one 

 pound of your Rubicon Carrot, and the yield was away beyond 

 my expectation ; they were the earliest and finest I have ever 

 seen. I began carrying them to New York market early in 

 July, and received $2.00 to $2.50 per barrel for them. From 

 the Rubicon I had the first barrel of carrots in New York." 



J. & S. GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CELERY 



J. A. Ndgent, St. Petersburg, Pla., writes : " I have

 profitable with them is Johnson & Stokes' Golden Self- 

 Blanching. It is certainly the handsomest I ever saw." 



PERLE LE GRAND CELERY 



Jacob B. Brown, Pocoraoke City, Md., Feb. 9, 1901, 

 writes: " Your Perle Le Grand is the finest keeping celery

 fairly grew wild over it, and I gotordersfrom every direction; 

 my misfortune was in not having enough to supply demand. ' '
