JOHNSON & STOKES^ NEW CREMONA CELERY 



A SUPERB NOVELTY FOR 1902— See Illustration Opposite 

 "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 estabhshed by five years of care- 

 ful selection, partaking of all its best qualities, much handsomer 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 the best celery in cultivation for 

 either the market or the home garden. 



Prices, per pkt., 25c.; per oz., $1.2.5 ; 4 ozs. for $4.00. 



Supply of seed is so limited this season that we cannot sell more than 4 ounces to one customer. 



Perle Le Grand Celery 



VALUABLE FOR BOTH EARLY AND LATE USE. 

 The Perle Le Grand Celery was named and introduced by 

 us in 1894, and has met with large sale. Its beautiful, full, 

 golden heart and rich nutty flavor are unapproached by any 

 of the older sorts. On the market stall it is extremely showy 

 and salable, a single plant making a good-sized bunch and 

 surpassing nearly all other sorts in weight. It is not only a 

 good early celery, being among the first fit to use, but also 

 most valuable as a winter keeper, remaining, when properly 

 trenched, in perfect condition away into the spring. Pkt., 

 lOc; oz., 20c.; 14 lb., 50c.; lb., $1.75. 



Far Superior Hany Heart 



A now late celery originated at Philadelphia, producing 

 plenty of heart and of the finest quality, with rich nutty 

 flavor. Pkt., lOc; oz., 25c.; % lb., 75c.; lb., $2.50. 



Evans' Triumph Celery 



This splendid new variety, originated in Canada, grows a 

 very strong and vigorous plant with large, very white, crisp, 

 brittle, tender, short, broad stalks. It is very late, requiring 

 the whole season to develop, but will keep splendidly all 

 winter. Pkt., lOc; oz., 20c.; J^ lb., 65c.; lb., 82.25. 



CcIcriaC— T"''"'P-"'^ooted Celery 



LARGE SMOOTH PRAGUE. The largest, smoothest 

 and best of the class; really the only one we have ever 

 found worth cultivating. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; % lb., 50c.; 

 lb., $1.75.

Winter Queen Celery 



The most popular as a late keeper. Since our intro- 

 duction of this very valuable new celery seven years ago, 

 it has become the most popular of all asa late winter keeper, 

 frequently being seen and selling at high prices in the 

 month of May, after all other celeries are done. It is, with- 

 out doubt, the most valuable variety of celery for winter and 

 spring use ever introduced, with the exception of the New 

 Cremona, and excels the celebrated Perle Le Grand and 

 Perfection Heartwell as a late winter keeper. It is also much 

 stouter, thicker and heavier, with doubletheamount of heart 

 of other sorts. The plant is beautiful in appearance, of close 

 habit and compact growth, and blanches to a beautiful
