KICHOtS* r\IPRO VED tOXG ORANGE CARROT. 



We procured this stock from 

 Mr. Robert Nichols, one of 

 the most successful market 

 gardeners of this city. The 

 strain is earlier than either 

 the well-known Danvers or 

 Long Orange as usually sold. 

 The color is of a deep orange 

 when no thicker than an 

 oril inaiy lead pencil , shading 

 to a deep orange red when 

 fully grown. The root is 

 perfectly s^nooth from the 

 shoulder to the extreme tip, 

 and entirely devoid of side 

 rootlets in all stages of groteth . 

 It grows without any neck 

 whatever, the top is short, 

 and this, together "with its 

 extreme earliness, admirably 

 fits it for early use. 



AVe pronounce it the 

 ideal carrot, either for early 

 or late use, being of uni- 

 formly large size, enor- 

 mously productive, tlie best 

 of keepers, and Iiighly 

 nutritious for stock when 

 grown as a field crop. Pkt,,

 preferred by many gar- 

 deners to any other sort.

 orange, shape rery haml-

 valuable feature of our

 equallj"^ valuable to grow 

 for feeding stock, being 

 well adapted to all soils 

 and will yield the greatest 

 bulk with the smallest 

 length of root of any other 

 sort. Under good cultiva-

JOHNSON & STOKES' GOLDEN .SELF-BLANCH- 

 ING. The best celery in cultivation for the family garden 

 and for early market. See photograph and Specialties, page 

 8. Pkt., 15c.; oz., 40c.; ^i lb., SI. 10; lb., $4.00. 



EARLY ARLINGTON. This new celery comes from 

 the same source as the Arlington Tennis Ball Lettuce, 

 described on another page. It is an improved selection of the 

 well-known Boston Market Celery, made by an Arlington 

 market gardener. It has received ./irsiprfeein both the regu- 

 lar and special premiums offered by the Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society. Itis very early, eomingin quite three weeks 

 in advance of the Boston market ; and its superiority over 

 this variety is in the factthat it is earlier, of larger size, and 

 more vigorous growth ; does not blight or run to seed as 

 badiv, and bleaches easily andmore quickly. Pkt., lOc; oz., 

 30c.; J|lb.,8oc.; lb., S3.00. 



DLLKS' SIANY HEARTED. This fine new celery was 

 originated by Mr. Geo. Dilks, a noted Philadelphia market 

 gardener, from one stalk found growing in a field of Golden 

 Dwarf in 1884. It is very distinct in appearance, being much 

 stouter, thicker and heavier near the root than any other 

 variety. We have seen four stalks in abnnch weigh thirteen 

 and a quarter pounds, and entirely cover the top of an 

 ordinary flour barrel. It surpasses all other celeries in 

 keeping qualities, having for a few years past been sold in 

 our markets as late as May, after Golden Dwarf and all other 

 varieties were done. Pkt., lOc; oz., 50c.; 54 lb., $1.25; 

 lb.,S5.00. 



GOLDEN HEART DW^ARF. This distinct variety is 

 the most popvlar old variety among market gardeners. Itis 

 entire\y sol id , an excellent keeper anA of fine, nulty flavor. In 

 size and habit of growth it is much the same as Half-Dwarf 

 White kinds, except, when blanched, the heart. Tvhich is 

 large and full, is of a waxy golden yellow, rendering it very 

 striking and showy for either market or j)riv£ite use. We 

 have an unusually fine strain, and .sell hundreds of pounds 

 each season to our most critical market gardeners. Pkt., 10c.; 

 oz.,25c.; J41b.,60c.; lb., S2.25.
