FffOTOORAI'II OF AVERAGE SPECIMENS OF JOHNSON & STOKES’ PERFECTED JERSEY PICKLE. 
Mnson * ^ perfected jersey 
& & & Stickle Cucumber 
For many years we have supplied pickle seed to many prominent New Jersey growers in the cele¬ 
brated pickle district on the Delaware Iiiver, about twenty-five miles above Philadelphia, where more 
cucumbers are grown than in any other section of the United States, over one hundred and fifty 
thousand bushels being nicked and annually put up for commercial pickles in this section. 
For this reason we nave given unusual attention to the selection and improvement of cucumber 
seed for pickles, and in this new strain, which is the result of nine years’ careful breeding, we 
have a strain which is pronounced by grow¬ 
ers of 30 years’ experience a perfect pickle 
in all respects. Its desirable form and uniform 
size are well shown in the above photograph. 
The skin is thin, flesh white, crisp and tender 
with but few seeds. The vines are strong and 
vigorous, bearing continuously and long 
after all other varieties have ceased to pro¬ 
duce. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 15c.; } lb., 35c.; lb., 
$1.25, postpaid, by mail. 
MKW KAUl.Y SPUING CABIUOB. 
Surly Spring Cabbage 
A valuable acquisition, being a round, 
flat-headed cabbage as early as 
Wakefield, and one-third more productive, 
It isof the Early Summer type, heads a trifle 
smaller, very solid, with few small outside 
leaves, enabling it to be planted very close; 
very uniform in shape and size, finely bred 
and free from any rankness of flavor. Grow¬ 
ers will find the Early Spring a most 
profitable variety ; by planting 21 inches 
apart, you can grow 13,500 to the acre. Seed 
grown by the originator. Very scarce. Pkt., 
15c.; oz., 60c.; 4 ounces for $2.00.
