JOHNSON & STOKES, PHILADELPHIA 



-o^ 



MYERS' QUICK-GROWING W HUE PLUME CELERY 



A new strain of White I'lume Celery, selected and improved by Myers & Bowman, the well-known 

 Philadelphia market gardeners. It is unquestionably the earliest celery known, being ready for market 

 10 days to 2 weeks earlier than any other strain. It differs also from the old White Plume in size and 

 habit, somewhat resembling the Paris Golden Self-Blanching, but more stocky and robust, throwing out 

 from 8 to 12 hearts. Leaves are very light in color and entirely free from green celery. It has proven to 

 be by far the handsomest, best and most salable early celery that has been offered on Philadelphia 

 markets the past tliree seasons. Choice home-grown seed, per pkt., 15c.; oz., 40c.; J lb., 81.10 ; lb., $4.00. 



New Klondike Cucumber 



This is a hybrid sort of the White Spine type 

 which holds its attractive dark green color longer 

 than any other sort we have seen. When of suit- 

 able size for shipping it averages from 6 to 7 inches 

 long, the ends are quite square and it is about 2 

 inches thick. 



The quality is unsurpassed. Wherever it is 

 sold to market gardeners it has become their main 

 crop and the demand for it is growing rapidly. 



Its points of superiority are : — extreme earli- 

 ness ; a prolific bearer ; very hardy, producing 

 fair crops under such unfavorable conditions as 

 cause many other sorts to fail ; very dark green and 



holding its attractive color and crispness for a long 

 time ; size just ri^ht for a slicing cucumber. 



It is also quite firm when small, making an 

 excellent pickling sort. Price, per pkt., 10c. : oz , 

 20c.; i lb., 60c.; lb., $2.00. 



Perfection Hot-House 



Forcing Cucumber 



This is the result of several years' carefully 

 selected green-house grown White Spine forcing, 

 resulting in a cucumber that is darker green, larger, 

 very uniform and handsome. Price, per pkt., 20c.; 

 Joz., 60c ; oz., $1.00.
