STOKES SEED FARMS COMPANY «*gs<» MOORESTOWN, NEW JERSEY 

 No. 195— Columbia 



Days to Maturity, 130. Introduced by Ferry in 1906. Columbia 

 is an early maturing celery, resembling Golden Self-Blanching in 

 many particulars. The round, thick stalks are of the Pascal type, 

 and when properly blanched, the heart is a beautiful light golden 

 yellow. It will mature soon after Golden Self-Blanching, and is 



recommended for all purposes. 

 1 lb. $6.00, postpaid. 



Pkt. 10c, oz. 60c, y± lb. $1.75, 



No. 197— Pink Plume 



Days to Maturity, 135. Listed by Henderson 1894. A standard 

 English variety, which we recommend above all others as a home 

 garden sort for winter storage. Without question it has the finest 

 flavor of any celery we offer, and during the several years that we 

 have listed it under the name of Prize Pink, our customers have 

 been able to prove the truth of this statement. This celery is not a 

 good shipper, but where quality alone counts, and for the home 

 garden or for nearby markets, we known of no other variety; of 

 celery that equals Pink Plume. The stalks will blanch to almost 

 white, but there is always a trace of red, making them highly at- 

 tractive. They are long and slender, very brittle and extremely 

 to be desired. Pkt. 10c, oz. 60c, \i lb. $1.75, 1 lb. $6.00, postpaid.

No. 204 — Celeriac. Giant Prague 



Days to Maturity, 140. Turnip-Rooted Celery has been 

 known in the United States for over one hundred years, 

 and the variety Giant Prague is a very old one, Johnson & 

 Stokes having listed it prior to 1885. The roots are 

 globular in shape, comparatively smooth and of the best 

 quality, averaging about two and one-half inches in 

 diameter. Celeriac is a most desirable vegetable, and 

 deserves wider recognition by the planters, home garden 

 as well as commercial. It should receive about the same 

 culture as celery, being planted in rows two feet apart 

 and about six inches apart in the row. When the roots 

 attain a size of from two to two and one-half inches in 

 diameter, they are ready for use. Giant Prague will be 

 found a good keeper if properly packed underground or 

 in a dry cellar. Pkt. 10c, oz. 60c, % lb. $1.75, 1 lb. 

 $6.00, postpaid. 



COLUMBIA (x 1/3) 



No. 200— Winter King 



Days to Maturity, 150. An improvement over the old Winter 

 Queen, as introduced by Johnson & Stokes in 1897. It was listed 

 as Winter King by Walter P. Stokes in 1914, this strain probably 

 originating with Mr. W. G. Fosgate, of Santa Clara, California. 

 As an early blanching green celery, ripening in good time for Thanks- 

 giving and the holiday markets, we know of no better sort. If prop- 

 erly stored, it will keep well all during the winter. The plants are 

 characterized by robust growth, tall stalks with high joints and 

 rich, light golden heart. The stock offered can be relied upon by 

 the most critical celery growers. Winter King is also recommended 

 for home garden purposes. Pkt. 10c, oz. 60c, Y± lb. $1.75, 1 lb. 

 $6.00, postpaid. 



No. 198— Giant Pascal 



Days to Maturity, 145. Introduced simultaneously in 1890 by 

 Henderson, Maule and Dreer. A standard fall and winter variety, 

 but not recommended for shipment, owing to its tender stalks. 

 This fact, however, recommends it highly as a home garden variety, 

 or as a sort which can be used to advantage in short shipments. 

 The stalk is of medium length, and blanches to a beautiful creamy 

 white color, very thick and nearly round at the top but flattened 

 toward the base. Pkt. 5c, oz. 50c, % lb. $1.25, 1 lb. $4.00, post- 

 paid.
