OUR DOUBLE SEED WAREHOUSES

Located on the principal business street of Philadel-
phia, Nos. 217 and 219 Market St., extending through
the block to Nos. 206 and 208 Church St., are the largest
in the East, and afford us every facility for the conduct
of a large business, being especially arranged to accom-
modate the various departments of the Seed business.

Visitors to Philadelphia are always welcome at our
business offices as well as at Floracroft.

HONEST CATALOGUE ILLUSTRATIONS.

We trust entirely to photographic reproduction.
This has given our MANUAL a deserved reputation for
truthfulness and accuracy. It is for this reason that
some things that are much lauded in other catalogues
are omitted. Some do not appear as large or extrava-
gant as shown in the overdrawn cuts ‘of other lists.
Our pictures have won for us the attention of thou-
sands of seed buyers, and we have held their confi-
dence by meeting the promises of our catalogue.

HONEST CATALOGUE DESCRIPTIONS.

No expense or pains are spared to make our descrip-
tions of the various vegetables and flowers strictly
accurate, from notes made during the growing season
at FLORACROFT TRIAL GROUNDS or on our SEED
FARMS where the crops are grown. It is for this
reason that our MANUAL is so frequently used by other
seedsmen as a reference-book and is frequently found
at the agricultural colleges, being used as an auxiliary

text-book.
HONEST SEEDS.

Good crops can be grown only from Honest seeds.
For nearly a quarter of a century it has been our aim
to supply direct to the planter Honest American
grown seeds at fair prices. That we have succeeded
is evidenced by the fact that our business is to-day
the largest of any in America direct with critical
market gardeners and experienced growers who plant

for profit.
HONEST PRICES.

We have always endeavored to have our prices
correct and as low as the lowest, considering quality ;
but the best seeds cannot always be the cheapest in
money. Really good seeds are the cheapest in the
end, however, as every successful gardener well knows.

Floracroft Seed Gardens and Trial Grounds.
To test, develop and prove the seeds we sell, we
conduct every year most extensive trials of our
own at our FLORACROFT SEED GARDENS AND TRIAL
GROUNDS located about nine miles from our city
warehouses. The cash expended at FLORACROFT buys
knowledge, and the benefit goes to our customers.
Besides the testing of our own and other people’s
seeds, we develop a considerable amount of high-
grade pedigree stock seed at FLORACROFT. We have

men there who understand the improvement and

development of ideal types and high standards. From
FLORACROFT we send improved seed stocks to our
various farms in other States, wherever the conditions
of soil and climate are best adapted to their per-
fect development; for multiplication as to bulk and
quantity.

The Ruby Dulcet Beet

We were the first seedsmen to introduce in
America, last season, this valuable new English
beet. Nothing we can say of its merits could

more strongly endorse it than the testimonials

of customers who tried it last year, published

under Beets, page 18.

No beet we have ever tested has proven
earlier, while its shape is most desirable, being
uniformly a perfect globe, as shown in photo-

graph alongside. The skin and flesh are a deep,
rich red, fine grained, sweet and tender in all stages
of growth. Pkt., 10c.; 0z., 15c.; 4 1b., 35¢.; 1b., $1.25.

THE RUBY DULCET BEET.

New Wonder Bush Lima Bean |

The Earliest, Dwarfest and Most Prolific

A second year’s trial of this excellent strain of
Bush Lima Bean has more than ever convinced us
of its great merit, both in producing fine, large |
beans and in holding steadfastly to its dwarf
habit, growing absolutely in the bush form, with-
out the least sign of a runner—the ends of branches J.
being filled with buds giving no chance for runners. [ie
In addition to this important feature, heretofore |
unknown in Bush Limas of the large type, it is
also the earliest and most prolific of the whole of
its class. New Wonder gives the largest and best }7
returns—a big crop from a small space—and is a |=
decided improvement on the original type of
Burpee’s Bush Lima, being seven to ten days
earlier, with pods 4 to 5 inches in length, each
containing three and sometimes four large green
beans of the finest flavor. We hope every gar-
dener who receives this catalogue will give the
New Wonder atrial this season. Pkt., 10c.; pint,

New Round Pod Kidney Wax Bean

Originated by N. B. Keeney & Sons, the well-
known Bean experts of New York State.

Our customers have frequently asked for a
round podded Wax Bean, possessing the excellent
market and shipping qualities of the popular
Wardwell’s Kidney Wax, and this is the first bean
we have ever discovered that will fill the bill. The
plant grows tall, strong and sturdy, with long,
round, handsome, stringless pods of large size,
very solid and full of meat, crisp, brittle and free
from rust; wonderfully early and productive.

“Your new Round Pod Kidney Wax Beans are the best I
ever grew, Saw or heard of, entirely rust-proof and will take
the lead in this market.”’

C. J. FEraeuson, Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 27, 1900, writes:
**T shall want more of your Round Pod Kidney Wax Beans
next spring. I consider them the best bean I have ever

”

grown.

J. F. WILLIAMS, Palmer, Mass., Sept. 15, 1900, writes:
**Your new Round Pod Kidney Wax Beans are the finest
from the time they are large enough to pick until full grown.
I get a much higher price for them than for any other bean.”’’

HENRY DEITERICK, Nanticoke, Pa., Oct. 8. 1900, writes:
‘*T found your Round Pod Kidney Wax were far superior to
all the beans we planted; they are the greatest yielders and
finest in quality.”

F. E. Otvery, Caslos, Ind., Oct. 14, 1900, writes: ‘‘The
new Round Pod Kidney Wax Beans are the earliest, largest,
finest in quality and most productive of all.’’

New Giant Green Pod Valentine

The Round Pod Valentine Bean has long
been one of the most popular with market gar-
deners. This distinct new cross-bred variety pos-
sesses all the merits of the old favorite, which is
one of its parents, and having, in addition, the fol-
lowing points, which enhance its value: ;

Itis ready for market with a more prolific
crop of pods a week earlier.

The pods are one-third larger, averaging
five to six inches in length.

They are always absolutely stringless,
unusually crisp, round, full and fleshy.

AN AVERAGE EAR OF NEW METROPOLITAN SWEET CORN, PHOTOGRAPHED GREEN WHEN READY FOR BOILING,

NEW EXTRA EARLY
SWEET CORN
THE METROPOLITAN

From our trials the past season we think we
are safe in saying that the New Metropolitan com-
bines the essential features of earliness, freedom
from smut, and fine quality to a more satisfactory
degree than any first early sweet corn ever intro-
duced. The plant grows vigorously to a height of
about 5 feet, ears set low about 14 feet from the
ground, and are produced two and often three on a
stalk. They average about 9 inches in length and
have the desirable feature of being exceedingly
white in color during their eatable condition. Al-
though our tests, as stated above, were more than
satisfactory, to make assurance doubly sure, before
offering it we wrote to Mr. Frank T. Emerson, the
well-known and extensive grower of Seed Sweet
Corn, and have just received his reply as follows:

‘‘T know of no variety in the whole list that
can compare with the Metropolitan for the Market
Gardener or the Home Garden for an Extra Early
variety. The ears are long and well filled out to
the tip and have very thick husks, which are most
attractive to the consumer for the reason that they
are apparently getting more for their money in
proportion to that obtained from other early
varieties.”

France, a limited supply of this very valuable new
stock feeding beet. As indicated by the name, it is
across of the Mammoth Red Mangel and Improved
French Sugar Beet, containing more sugar than
any other mangel, and in France is now much
preferred to either the Sugar Beets or Mangels for

PHOTOGRAPH OF THREE AVERAGE HEADS OF THE FOREMOST GERMAN CABBAGE,

HE FOREMOST GERMAN CABBAGE

We were so much pleased with our trials of this new Medium Early Cabbage made in 1899 that

we last year imported from the originator at Erfurt, in Germany, a quantity of the seed and distributed
several thousand packages free for trialamong our customers. Nothing we have ever sent out in this
way has brought us so many unsolicited testimonials from the growers, and regret we only have room

below to publish a few samples of the hundreds received.

NEW GERMAN BEATS THEM ALL.

GEORGE RENO, Youngstown, Ohio, Nov. 2, 1900, writes :
““T eannot help writing you about the seed of the New Ger-
man Cabbage you so kindly sent me fortrial. I have grown
almost every known cabbage, but this beats them all. The
Danish Ball and other good new varieties I have been raising
for the past few years are not a touch to them.”’

THE BEST FOR ALL PURPOSES.

Wm. GIFFERT, Ranlett, Cal., Nov. 17, 1900, writes: ‘‘I
want to buy seed of the New German Cabbage which you
sent me for trial, as it is the finest for market and best for all
purposes of any I haye ever seen. The heads run from 15 to
20 pounds, wonderful for solidity and fine appearance.”’

HEADS NEVER BURST.

G. V. HALL, Richview, IIl., Oct. 25, 1900, writes: *‘A
grand Cabbage is your New German. The heads never burst
at all; I have them in my bed yet from last May setting. I
shall plant nothing but this kind in the future if you can
supply me the seed,”

‘Your New German Cabbage matures early, the heads are
white, large and very solid. It is the best cabbage I ever
saw.”’

RIGHT SIZE FOR QUICK SALES.

W. S. Coorrer, Seymour, Conn., Oct. 18, 1900, writes:
‘Your New German Cabbage did splendidly, It was ahead
of all other cabbages and proved just the right size for quick
sales in our markets.”’

BEST HE EVER SAW OR GREW.

H. H. WARREN, Badaxe, Mich., Oct. 19, 1906, writes: se |
tried, last spring, your New German Cabbage, and in head-
ing, in quality and in all other respects found it better than

any other cabbage I ever saw or grew.”’

COY’S EARLY CYCLONE.—THE EARLIEST WHITE SPINE CUCUMBER. SEE ALSO COLORED ILLUSTRATION ON BACK OF THIS BOOK.

COY’S EARLY CYCLONE CUCUMBER

This rare novelty originated with our friend, Chauncey P. Coy, of Nebraska, probably the largest
and most experienced grower of cucumbers in the world. It isnot only the earliest cucumber in culti-
vation, but is of a most desirable White Spine type, shorter, thicker and holding its deep green color
better than any other Early Cucumber in cultivation.

In adding further to the description of this extremely valuable new cucumber, we cannot do better
than to publish below a letter received from Mr. Charles F. Damrow, a well-known market gardener of
Ontario, Canada, who writes: “The Coy’s Early Cyclone Cucumber is the finest I ever saw; there were
so many leaves, and so close together, that they completely shaded the fruit, so that they werg not ex-
posed to the hot sun ; at almost any place on the vines in a foot’s length, one could count from 10 to 12
cucumbers, 3 and 4in a bunch, something I never saw before only in pictures, and they were alwaysone
shape and one size, and the very best shape and size, for slicing or pickles, of any cucumber ever pro-
duced. They were planted 2 weeks later than my earliest White Spine, and had fruit large enough for
market 2 weeks earlier.” Hundreds of our customers who tried this new cucumber last season
have also written us in a similar strain to that of
| Mr. Damrow, and there seems to be but one ver=
j dict from all, ‘‘that Coy’s Early Cyclone is by far
the earliest, best and most productive cucumber in
cultivation.”

LONG ISLAND
COLOSSAL SAVOY CABBAGE

For many years Long Island has been noted
for raising the finest cabbage seed in the world.
A few of the growers there have also gained fame
f in the gardening community by originating some
of the best and most popular varieties now culti-
vated. Until we received seed from the originator
and carefully tested this new sort, we have never
found a Savoy Cabbage to compare with our own
popular stock of J. & S. Hard Heading Savoy.

The new Long Island Colossal, however,
heads just as hard and reaches uniformly double
f the size. Heads ofa deep green color, which they
s retain in all stages. Notwithstanding its great
# size, the quality is superb, approaching that of the
cauliflower when cooked. We offer a limited

A VALUABLE NEW LETTUCE FOR 190!
OHNSON & STOKES’ SUMMERLEAD

Two years ago we re-
ceived from one of our mar-
ket garden customers a small
package of lettuce, with the
request that we give it a fair
test with other Summer va-
rieties at Floracroft Trial
Grounds. To our surprise
we found it not only a most
distinct new variety, but the
largest, handsomest and
most solid Head Lettuce we
have ever grown or seen.
We were also astonished at
its heat-resisting qualities, as
during the past unprecedent-
ed hot Summer it remained
longer without shooting to
seed than any of the other
17 varieties we had on trial.
The outside color is a light
yellowish green, becoming
entirely yellow towards the
heart, while its tender and
crisp table qualities are per-
fect. We wrote the origi-
jnator regarding its excep-
tional merits, and at his
suggestion have named it
Johnson & Stokes’ Sum-
merlead. Supply limited.

Our attention was first

We secured seed from the
originator and _ distributed
in the Spring of 1899 several
thousand packages among
our customers for trial, offer-
ing $100 in cash for the best
names suggested for it. Of
the numerous names sent
in, the committee decided
on the name of ‘* Golden
Gate’’ as the most ap-
propriate. We also re-
ceived hundreds of letters,
coming from almost every
State in the Union, fully en-
dorsing its wonderful qual-
ities and pronouncing its
large, magnificent cream i
yellow colored heads the fin-
est ever grown. Golden
Gate Lettuce is the result
of over twenty years’ careful

NEW SWEET HOME MUSKMELON

Our attention was first called to this new melon by Mr. E. H. Nash, of Merchantville, N. J., it
having been in the hands of his family many years, and although large growers for Philadelphia
market, this melon had always been planted and kept for home use and local market, owing to its
great sweetness and fine quality. It grows to fine large size ; is beautifully netted and ribbed, as shown

in our photograph above. Flesh very thick, light green, and in flavor sweet and luscious beyond
description. The most remarkable quality it possesses, however, is its quick, rapid growth. Notwith-

standing its large size, it will ripen its handsome fruits almost as early as Jenny Lind. Pkt., 10c.; 0z.,
20c.; + lb., 60c.; 1b., $2.00.

NEW EXTRA EARLY MUSKMELON—NORFOLK BUTTON

This new green-fleshed
melon, the seed of which
was offered for sale for
the first time last season,
has been monopolized by
a few growers at Norfolk,
Va., who have been real-
izing handsome prices on
New York and Philadel-
phia markets, they being
the first really good mel-
ons to reach these North-
ern markets. It was only
after great persuasion and
at high cost that we were
able to procure a few
pounds of selected stock
seed from the originator.
It resembles our now
popular ‘‘Shippers’ De-
light Muskmelon,” in
having a button on the
blossom end, but is
smaller, flatter and much
earlier, coming in ahead
of the earliest strains of
small ‘‘Jenny = Lind.”’
The flesh is very thick,
leaving but a small seed
cavity, and of delicious
quality. Pkt., 10c.; 0z.,

New Southern Watermelon Now Called the Cherokee Beauty

After two years’ trial we had accumulated enough seed last year to put up and send outa few hun-
dred packages of this new melon for trial among our customers whose orders indicated an interest in
new watermelons. As will be seen by reading the testimonials published below, our high opinion of the
merits of this melon is fully confirmed by the reports received. Although we have not room here to
publish all of them, there was not one of the 84 received that did not give it the highest praise; in fact,
nearly all were of about the same tenor of those we print.

Our supply of the seed is rather limited this season and we cannot supply more than 4ounces to any
one purchaser at following prices: Per pkt., 15c.; 2 pkts. for 25c.; oz., 50c.; 4 ounces for $1.50.

Beauty Watermelon.

P. C. Haynes, Plainfield, N. J., writes: ‘‘ New
Southern Watermelon excels any I have ever seen: its
great sweetness, solidity of flesh, good size, ete., make
it the most desirable of all.”

H. E. BuGwaArptT, West Seneca, N. Y.: ‘‘ New South-
ern is the greatest producer and by far the finest melon [
ever raised; quality the most delicious.”’

A. W. MILEs, Nixa, Mo.: “ New Southern is the
finest of all—every one a good one.’

J. B. McConana, Tehachapi, Cal.: ‘‘ New Southern
was the best of eight other kinds I grew this season,
producing more melons, larger and of finer flavor and
more hardy than all others.”’

C. H. GARDINER, East Marion, N. Y.: ‘‘ New South-
ern is simply immense; in size and quality it is superior
to any in our market.”’

the past season we had good-sized melons, plenty
large for market, weighing 15 to 20 lbs. each, on
July 10th, from seed planted May 9th, while all

hardier, somewhat taller and more productive.
Produces pods liberally, and each pod contains 8 to
12 fine peas, of remarkably sweet and rich flavor.

After testing this grand new English pea on

the first American seedsmen to bring this valuable |

two feet, unusually prolific. Handsome pods,
growing uniformly to larger size than any medium
early or late pea we have ever seen, and filled with

We have received many letters from market
gardeners who gave it a trial last season, and are
sorry we have not room to publish them. One
writes: “I am sure Market Master is the best pea

feet high ; when grown without trellis or brushing
they are strong and rank. The fact that it is such
a bountiful producer ought to bring it rapidly in

found it even superior in earliness, hardiness and
large size of pod, to the now famous Gradus or
Prosperity Pea, which is one of its parents, and
we believe Mr. Laxton is right in claiming it to be
the finest early Pea yet introduced.

We have imported from the originator, Mr.
Laxton, at high cost, all he could spare us this sea-
son, and shall be glad to add a good-sized trial packet
to all orders amounting to $3.00 and over.

NEW FRENCH RADISH—COMET

We distributed, free last spring, a large num-

ber of packages of this new Radish among
. ' = our customers for
a : trial. In describing

it we cannot do bet-
ter than to publish
below a few sample
letters from the hun-
dreds which we have
received extolling its
merits.

What they write.

JoHN Laus, Effing-
ham, lll., Aug. 10, 1900,
writes: “TI have never
seen the equal of your
new French Radish; it
excels all others.”’

Wm W. Foust, Bar-
negat, N. J., Sept. 5, 1900,
writes: ‘Your new
French Radish was the
earliest white radish I
have ever grown. In
quality far ahead of all
others.”

J. R. PAHNBERG,
Zerich, Kan., Sept. 18,
1900, writes: ‘‘ The best
white Radish I ever
raised is the new French
you sent me; it is very
early and hardy, grows
to a large size and keeps
in good eating condition
longer than any other
kind.”’

S. B. WANSETLER,
Nappance, Ind., Oct. 3,
1900, writes: “New
French Radish grew in
clay soil large enough
for market in 20 days.
Superb quality.”

AVERAGE SPECIMEN OF RHODE ISLAND ROCK TURNIP.

RHODE ISLAND ROCK

The Wonderful Keeping Turnip

In this new variety we have a great improve-
ment on the White French Turnip, made after
years of selection, by a Rhode Island market
gardener.

It is fully three weeks earlier than any other
turnip of its class, and can be planted later to fol-
low such crops as peas, corn, beets, etc. It is
very hard and solid, flesh pure white, fine grained,
brittle and sweet. Its crowning point, however,
is its wonderful keeping qualities, excelling all
other turnips in this respect. Pkt., 5c.; 0z., 10c.;

x lb., 30c.; Ib:, $1.00.

CLUSTEROSA NEW YELLOW EGG TOMATOES,

Clusterosa Yellow Egg ‘Tomato

This new variety is a decided improvement on
all other small yellow tomatoes, which are so
extensively used for preserving and pickling. The
originator, Henry Shaw, of Burlington County,
N.J., has been supplying them in Philadelphia
markets, realizing much better prices from these
than other kinds, owing to their handsome and
uniform shape and size, deep yellow color, and
great solidity. They are wonderfully productive,
giving double the yield of any other of their class,
and almost seedless. Seed grown by the originator.
Pkt., 10c.; 0z., 50c.; $ lb., $1.50.

THE EARLIEST LARGE
SMOOTH RED TOMATO

Very early tomatoes have of late years been such a profitable crop that almost every grower in

Southern New Jersey boasts, with more or less justice, that he has the earliest tomato.

We have for

years watched with a good deal of interest the first shipments to reach Philadelphia markets, and were
not a little surprised to find, during the season of 1899, a new variety from Mr. Geo. C. Sparks in a full
week ahead of all others. We immediately arranged with Mr. Sparks to save us some seed, paying a
very high price for the same, and which we offered for sale in a small way in our catalogue of last year.
This tomato is not only remarkable for its earliness, but for its very large size, handsome shape and

bright red color.

Its solidity and fine quality are quite equal to the best medium and late sorts.

From less than 4,000 hills, Mr. Sparks realized from his first pickings $725.00 clear of freight and

commission.

Sparks’ Earliana contains only about one-fourth the seed of other varieties, and although we had
a large acreage planted last season, our stock of seed is so limited that we cannot supply this season
more than 4 ounces to any one purchaser at following prices: Per pkt.,15c.; 0z., $1.00; 4 ounces for $3.00.

Read Below What Market Growers say of Sparks’ Earliana

BEYOND ALL COMPARISON.
R. TRIMMER, Goshen, Ind., Aug. 16,1900, writes: ‘‘Sparks’

Earliana were way beyond all comparison ahead in earliness,
size and prodigious productiveness of anything I ever grew.”’

EARLIER THAN EARLY BIRD.
GEO. SHEARER, Mulberry, Ark., Sept. 13, 1900, writes:

““The earliest large tomatoes I ever grew are Sparks’ Earli-
anas ; they are earlier than Early Bird and very much larger.’’

TWO WEEKS AHEAD OF OTHERS.

H. C. Moors, Gotha, Pa., Sept. 16, 1900, writes: ‘‘I was
more than pleased; Sparks’ Earliana were two weeks earlier
than all others.’

EARLIEST, LARGEST AND SMOOTHEST.

WALTER M. SmitH, South Meriden, Conn., Aug. 20, 1900,
writes: ‘‘ Sparks’ Earliana is by far the earliest, largest and
smoothest of any I ever grew. I had tomatoes in market
away ahead of any here.”’

TWELVE DAYS IN ADVANCE.

Wm. RENNIE, Toronto, Canada, the noted seedsman and
agriculturist, writes: ‘‘In our trials the past season Sparks’
Earliana ripened 12 days in advance of Atlantic Prize, Ruby
and other extra early sorts.”’

FIRST IN THE MARKET.

F. SoHREIBER, Elizabeth, N. J., July 13, 1900, writes:
‘“The Sparks’ Earliana are a great success; they are the
earliest we ever saw. We were the first to bring tomatoes
to market.”’

DO NOT CRACK OR ROT.

A. L. Smiru, Princeton, Ind., Sept. 16, 1900, writes: ‘‘I
will plant Sparks’ Earliana Tomatoes again next Spring;
they are wonderfully early and prolific, and do not crack
open and rot as most others do.”’

AHEAD FOR EARLY AND MAIN CROP.

Gro. W. WEEKs, Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct. 17, 1900, writes:
‘‘Sparks’ Earlianais far ahead for both early and main crop.”

: : They are Grown Right—
9
There is No Doubt with Johnson & Stokes’ Seeds (ji24 picht— All Right
Such is the testimony, year after year, of thousands of critical market gardeners and experienced
growers who plant for profit, and who are so well satisfied with our seeds and business methods, that
they would have them no matter what they cost. We exercise the greatest care, however, not to
betray this confidence, but make our prices as low as seeds of similar quality can be sold.

GUARANTEE WE GUARANTEE ALL SHIPMENTS of Seeds, Bulbs, Plants, Imple-
—————__——— ments, Live Stock, etc., to reach the purchaser safely and in good condition.

Failure of seeds to produce a goodcrop is dependent upon so many causes that the utmost care
from the most experienced cultivators cannot control it, and the maturing of crops also sometimes fails
from causes that no human power can control. While knowing that the seeds we offer are unsurpassed
in quality and of strong germinating power, yet our practical experience of many years as growers has
well assured us of the fact that crops sometimes fail, no matter how fresh, true and pure the seed sown.
Hence, to guarantee seeds to invariably produce a perfect crop would be little short of quackery. It is
for these reasons that, in common with every other responsible seed firm, we have adopted and print the
following disclaimer: ‘‘ While we exercise the greatest care to have all Seeds, Plants and Bulbs pure
and reliable, we do not give any warranty, express or implied. If the purchaser does not accept the
goods on these conditions they must be returned at once, and the money that has been paid for same
will be refunded.”

Cegetable Seeds 24 General List

The Rest Seeds that Grow and a List of Varieties it Pays to Grow

N the following pages we have endeavored to list the cream of all varieties known, weeding out.
many that are still advertised by other seedsmen, but which our extended tests at Floracroft Trial
Grounds have proven to usare unworthy of cultivation. We take great pains each season to inform
ourselves fully as to the real merits of everything offered as new or superior, and our customers
may rest assured that if any much-lauded variety is not found in our Manwvat, the probability is

much greater that, we have tested it and found it of little or no value, than that it is unknown to us.
It is our constant aim thus to gain and hold the confidence of all customers.

With our very liberal premiums, as offered on preceding page, and our low prices on seeds in bulk, we
say, without fear of contradiction, that ‘‘seeds of equal high quality can nowhere be obtained for as little

money.”

Artichoke

As a table vegetable the Artichoke deserves to be more
generally cultivated. The part eaten is the flower head,
which is used before it begins to open, and cooked in much
the same way as asparagus. : .

Asparagus is one of the earliest spring vegetables. No
vegetable on our list can be produced so cheaply and easily.
(Directions for planting and culture will be found in ournew
book, ‘FARM GARDENING,” price, 50c., postpaid). A

bed 12x 40 feet, requiring about 100 roots, will give an abun-
dant supply for an ordinary family. One ounce of seed will

SIX STALKS OF DONALD’S ELMIRA, WEIGHING 30 OUNCES.

ee

Donald’s Elmira Asparagus

This new asparagus, first
introduced by us has attracted
much attention throughoutthe
country. It was originated by
Mr. A. Donald, a prominent
market gardener of Elmira.
He has always realized hand-
some prices, and although a
large grower, was unable to
supply half the demand. The §
delicate green color is notably
different from either the fam-
ous Barr’s Philadelphia Mam-
moth or Palmetto, while the
stalks are more tender and
succulent. Its mammoth size
ean be realized from the fact
that in whole crops a bunch of §
twelve stalks will average §;
three to four pounds in weight. J
It requires much less labor in
eutting and bunching, thus
lessening the expense of mar-
keting. The seed we offer is
saved for us by Mr. Donald
from his choicest beds, and
our roots are grown by us
from the same high-class seed.

Barr’s Philadelphia Mammoth

This variety originated with Crawford Barr, a prominent
market gardener of “Pennsy lvania. Grown side by side with
Conover’s Colossal, it grows twice as large and more produc-
tive. In Philadelphia it is much cog after and sells at
top-notch prices. Seed: pkt., 5c.; , 10c.; 44 lb., 20e.; Ib.,
65c. GOOD STRONG ROOTS, 1 Soke old, 65e. per 100 (by

years old, 70c. per 100; $5 50 per 1,000 (500 roots at 1 000 rate).

COLUMBIAN MAMMOTH WHITE. This is amost
distinet variety, discovered on Long Island a few years
since. The stalks are large, produced abundantly and early.
They are clear white and remain so as long as fit for use,
without earthing up or any other artificial blanching. There
is a large demand from canners for this sort. Prices of
seed: pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; 14 lb., 25e.; Ib., 7c. GOOD
STRONG ROOTS, 1 year old, 70c. per 100 (by mail, post-

100; $6.00 per 1,000 (500 roots furnished at 1,000 rate).

PALMETTO. This asparagus is now quite extensively
grown for New York and Philadelphia markets, where it
sells at high prices, owing to its fine size and regularity.
Although of Southern origin, itis equally well adapted to
the North. Pkt., 5e.; oz., 10c.; 14 lb., 20e.; Ib., 60e. ROOTS,
same price as Barr’s Philadelphia Mammoth.

Keeney’s Pencil Pod Black Wax Bean

After careful tests on our Trial Grounds we procured seed
and offered this new bean for sale last season for the first time.
In offering this bean to us the originator, Mr. Keeney, wrote
as follows: ‘‘ Keeney’s Pencil Pod Black Wax grows a taller,
stronger and more vigorous bush than the Improved Prolifie
Black Wax, which is one of its parents. The other parent is
the Round Pod Refugee or Thousand to One, and from this
latter source the Pencil Pod Black Wax gets much ofits vigor,
hardiness and productiveness, and its long, slender, straight,
handsome pod, shaped very much likea pencil. It inherits
fine quality from both parents, and is, without doubt, one of
the finest strains of wax beans known. It is very early,
enormously productive and destined to become the most
popular of all Black Wax Beans.’’ We have received many
letters from customers fully endorsing all the originator
claims for it. Pkt., 5c.; pint, 25¢c.; quart, 40¢e.; peck, $1.60;
bush., $6.00.

BeanS—Varieties for Shelling

DAY’S LEAFLESS MEDIUM. The originator, Mr.
Wm. H. Day, is one of the most successful field bean cultur-
istsin New York State. The pods are long, well filled, con-
taining from five to seven beans ofa pearly white color, pro-
ducing from 50 to 60 bushels per acre. The vine stands up
well, grows abundant foliage, and just previous to the time of
ripening, all the leaves fall off, so that each and every pod
is exposed to the action of the sun’s rays and ripens evenly.
Matures in from seventy to eighty days from date of planting.

Dwarf Large White or Burpee’s Bush Lima

The true bush form of the old large Lima Pole Bean and most popular of the
class. It grows vigorously to a height of eighteen to twenty inches, forming a cir-
cular bush two to two and a half feet in diameter, requiring no poles or stakes,
yielding from fifty to one hundred and fifty fine pods, similar in size and quality to
those grown on the Large White Lima Pole Bean. Pkt., 10e.; pint, 25¢.; qt., 4ée.,

This possesses all the good qualities of the Dreer’s Improved or Challenger
Pole Lima, and is of true bushy habit, growing vigorously from one and a half to
two feet high, and showing no disposition whatever to run. It produces podsin
great abundance. The beans grow close together, four and sometimes five in a pod,
and are very thick, sweet and succulent, having much the same flavor asthe Dreer’s

New Jersey Grown Pole Lima Beans

WHY THEY ARE THE BEST

For nearly a half a century Southern New
Jersey has had the reputation, and deservedly so,
of growing the finest Lima Beans in the United
States, the product being eagerly sought after by
Boston, New York, Philadelphia and other East-
ern cities, for both seed and consumption. For
some years past, however, many seedsmen have
been growing their suppliesin Southern California,
where they are grown very cheaply and without
poles. We have made hundreds of tests of various
Limas from California seed, and find the product
much inferior in both quality and productiveness to
those grown in New Jersey. Itisalso difficult to get

which they are grown, while the beans are smaller
and lack the rich, buttery flavor peculiar to the
New Jersey Limas.

SEIBERT’S EARLY LIMA. This new variety is one
of the very earliest. The vine is very vigorous and produc-
tive. Pods are large, but thin, and can-be more easily opened
than those of other varieties. The green beansare very large,
handsome and of the best quality. In earliness, ease of shell-
ing, size, beauty and quality of the green beans, this variety
is superior, and is now recognized as one of the best for either
the garden or market. Pint, 25c.; qt., 45e.; peck, $1.85; bush.,

SHALLCROSS MARKET QUEEN LIMA. This new
Pole Lima Bean was developed after many years’ careful
selection by Mr. Frank Shalleross, a noted Philadelphia mar-
ket gardener and Lima Bean grower, from whom we first ob-
tained seed. While not the earliest, itis, without question,
one of the most prolific, bearing its handsome pods in im-
mense clusters and filled with large, flat, green beans. Pint,
30c.; qt., 55¢e.; peck, $2.25; bush., $8.00.

JERSEY EXTRA EARLY LIMA. The pods are
large and numerous, invariably having from four to five
beansin each. These beans appear in Philadelphia markets
nearly two weeks ahead of ordinary Limas,selling at from
$3.00 to $4.00 per bushel of pods, and, previous to the introduc-
tion of Seibert’s Early, were considered the earliest. Pint,
qt., 45e.; peck, $1.85; bush., $7.00.

STOKES’ EVERGREEN LIMA. The Stokes’ Ever-
green not only holds the full size and great productiveness
of the Salem Mammoth, but has the remarkable additional
quality of holding, in all stages of growth, and even when
dry and shelled, the deep green color of the unripe state, giv-
ing the appearance of beans fresh from the vine when cooked.
Pint, 35e.; qt., 60c.; peck, $2.50.

KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA. More prolific than
the ordinary Lima, bearing pods five to six inches long, in
elusters of four and five, with five to six beans in a pod.”
Pint, 25c.; qt., 45e.; peck, $1.70; bush., $6.50.

DREER’S IMPROVED, CHALLENGER or PO-

/TATO POLE LIMA. When green, is as large as the Large

Lima, thicker, sweeter and more tender and nutritious,
remaining green in the pod fora long time after maturing.

New Golden Pod Andalusia

This new pole bean, introduced by us ten years since,
has created a decided sensation wherever grown. The pods
are five to six inches long, broad, thick very fleshy, and en-
tirely stringless, far surpassing all other varieties in this respect,

and retaining these important qualities until almost ripe.

Pods when fully grown are five to six inches long, exceed-
ingly rich, buttery and fine flavored. The vines cling well to
the poles, a very important feature, as owing to its wonderful
productiveness, the weight of a vine filled with such a mass
of large pods is very great. They commence bearing in great
abundance when the vines are quite young, and continue to
bear profusely the entire season. The beans when dry are
round, pure white and also make a fine shell or winter bean.
Pint, 30c.; qt., 55¢e.; peck, $2.25; bush., $8.00.

FORD’S MAMMOTH PODDED
POLE LIMA BEAN

This Lima Bean is the result of over twenty years’ selec-
tion by the late Jas. Ford, who was one of the oldest market
gardeners around Philadelphia. The pods grow to an average
length of eight inches, are produced in great clusters, with
from five to seven beans per pod, of most excellent quality,
for using either green or dry. The vines grow vigorously, set-
ting the beans early at the bottom of the pole, and continue
in bearing right up to frost. Ford’s Mammoth Podded is
without exception the largest podded, finest flavored and
most productive of all Lima Beans. Pkt., 10c.; pint, 30c.;

Potato Lima class, but will be found a decided improve-
ment on the Dreer’s Improved Pole Lima or any other bean
of its class in earliness, productiveness and fine quality. All

What Others Say of Ruby Dulcet Beet

A Few Extracts from Hundreds of Letters
Received

G. JOHNSTON, Suffern, N. Y., Sept. 22, 1900, writes: ‘* The
best beet I have ever grown is your Ruby Duleet. It outdid
everything else around here, all other beets not being able to
withstand the drought.”’

WALTER RICHARDSON, Hutchinson, Kan., Oct. 20, 1900,
writes: ‘‘ Ruby Dulcet is the earliest and finest beet I have
ever grown.”’

A. A. Lewis, Kathleen, Fla., Aug. 17, 1900, writes:
““Ruby Duleet is by far the best of all beets.”

Wm. COATES, Sergeantville, N. J., Oct. 17, 1900, writes:
‘“Your new beet, Ruby Dulcet, gave immense satisfaction.
It is very early, of fine size and handsome globe shape, very
smooth and the best in color.”

J. W. Boctiine, Spencer, Ind., Oct. 1, 1900, writes: ‘‘I
had great success with all yourseed. The Ruby Dulcet beet
is the very best ofall for market.”

_ _E. B. MILLer, Sharpsburg, Md., writes: ‘‘ Ruby Dulcet
is the best beet that ever grew. Deepest red through I ever
saw. Fine grained, sweet and tender.”

CROSBY'S IMPROVED EGYPTIAN, THE EARLIEST BEET.

CROSBY’S IMPROVED EGYPTIAN. This new beet
is a very superior strain of the well-known Egyptian, ecare-
fully selected for years by Mr. Josiah Crosby, a noted Eastern
market gardener, from whom we obtained our original seed
stock. The results obtained were handsome form, good size,
few small tops, fine quality, deep blood color, and above all,
quick, rapid growth. Takes on its turnip shape, as shown
in photograph, and looks well even in the early stages of
growth. Once used, itis preferred to Egyptian or Eclipse
for forcing in frames or for first sowing outside. It does not
become woody and tasteless, like the old Egyptian, when
allowed to stand a little too long, and may be sown outside
as late as July. No market or family gardener who values
earliness should fail to grow this valuable beet. Croshy’s
Egyptian Beet, as originated and selected by Mr. Crosby, is a
very shy seeder, and the genuine seed, grown as ours is, from
seed stock grown and selected by the originator himself,
cannot be obtained at a lower price than here offered. Pkt.,
5e.; 0z., 10e.; 14 lb., 30e.; 1b., $1.00, postpaid; 5 Ibs. and over,
85e. per lb., by express.

NEW COLUMBIA (CARTER’S EXCELSIOR). The
color of the skin, flesh and top is like the well-known Egyp-
tian. It is not so early, but is larger and longerin shape and
of much better quality. Market gardeners will find it a
splendid variety, while its fine flavor will delight all private
planters. Pkt., 5e.; oz.,10c.; 14 lb., 25¢.; Ib., 75e.

DARK STINSON. A very early deep blood furnip |
beet, popular with market gardeners around Philadelphia,
and but little known elsewhere. It hasasmall top and is
very valuable for forcing or open garden. Seed grown by
the originator. Pkt., 5¢e.; oz., 10c.; 44 Ib., 20c.; lb., 65e.

EDMANDS’ EARLY RED TURNIP. A splendid '
new variety, originated near Boston. While not as early as!
some, it has many fine qualities to commend it.. It is the
most uniform of all turnip beets, of handsome, round shape,
good marketable size, deep blood color, and very small top.
Pkt., 5e.; oz., 10e ; 14 1b., 20¢.; Ib., 55e.; 5 1bs., by express, $2.00. |

JOHNSON & STOKES’ SURPRISE BEET

This beet, originated and selected on our own farm, has
now had several years’ thorough test by ourselves and
hundreds of practical gardeners, who agree in pronouncing

it one of the best extra early sorts ever produced. Its
small, upright growing tops, the splendid shape and color
of the roots make it popular with everyone. The color of
the skin is dark blood red, flesh bright red, zoned witha
lighter shade. It is faultless in table qualities, the flesh
being remarkably sweet, fine grained and tender in all
stages of growth. Pkt., 5¢.; 0z., 10¢.; 44 lb., 30c.; lb., $1.00.

NEW METEOR BEET

After distributing several thousand packages of this
valuable New Beet among our customers for advance trial
in 1898, we first offered the seed for sale last spring, with the
result that it is pronounced by customers everywhere a de-
cided improvement over all other deep blood turnip beets,
being the handsomest in form and best in quality. Itis the
result of eight vears’ hard work and intelligent selection by
a successful Philadelphia market gardener, from whom we
secured our original stock seed at a fabulous price, who has
heretofore kept it entirely in his own hands. It comes quite
early, following closely after our celebrated Crosby’s Egyp-
tian, always smooth, uniform and free from small roots; flesh
dark red, tender, fine grained, remaining so long after other
sorts have become tough and woody. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.;

points of great value. In size the roots are remarkably
uniform. The color is a very deep red, several shades darker
than the Bastian Half-Long. It is also earlier, maturing a
few days after the Early Turnip varieties; and as a fall and

Mangel-Wurzel and Sugar Cattle Beets —

We strongly recommend the Mangels and Sugar Beets for feeding to cattle, sheep and swine. The
roots grow to a very large size. Make a much heavier yield than Turnips, and are more nutritious and
fattening for food during the winter, largely increasing the yield of milk in cows. They can be grown
at trifling cost.. The seed should be sown any time during April or May, in rows 23 to 3 feet apart, at
the rate of five to six pounds per acre. When the plants are 2 or 3 inches high, thin or cut out
with the hoe to 10 or 12 inches apart in the row. The roots should be harvested before frost and
stored in pits or cellars.

Mammoth
Long Red 8tibs

Photograph of Prize Chirk Castle Mangel in comparison with the largest Improved Mammoth Long Red, both specimens
grown in same field, with same cultivation. We believe this specimen to be the largest Mangel ever grown in America.

The Ghirk Gastle Mandgel-Wurzel Heet

Our attention was first called to this prodigious variety while visiting Scotland some years ago,
where we saw hundreds of specimens taken from the field, weighing from fifty to sixty Ibs. each,
while whole crops averaged thirty-eight to forty lbs. per root, producing a yield of over sixty tons to
the acre. The lengthis but little longer than Improved Mammoth Long Red, but it is remarkable
for its handsome, thick, uniform shape and very broad shoulders, its diameter being greater
and its weight very much heavier. The flesh is deep-colored red, of very fine texture and quality,
containing less waterand more sugar than any other Mangel, making it more nutritious and milk-pro-
ducing. Sheep also thrive better when fed on it, picking out pieces of it in preference to other kinds.
We consider this and Taber’s Gate=Post, described on next page, by far the most valuable and profit-
able of all the stock-feeding beets. The tops are smaller and it is such ashy seeder that the seed can-
not be grown as cheaply as other Mangels. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 15c.; } lb., 25¢.; 1b., 75c., postpaid ; lb., 65c.;

High Bred Rmerican Grown Cabbage S dud

To market gardeners generally no vegetable is of greater importance than the cabbage ; and to
many growers the success or failure of this crop means gain or loss for the year. It does not pay, there-
fore, to take any risks in buying seed. Much of the seed commonly sold has not had the great care
necessary 1n growing to make it reliable. Our Cabbage Seed is the very best that can by grown, raised
only from the centre shoots and from carefully selected solid heads. ‘Our crops are all personally in-
spected with untiring care and watchfulness. As a standing evidence of its quality, we annually supply
hundreds of the best market gardeners about Philadelphia, New York, Chicago and other large cities.

JOHNSON & STOKES’ EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD. JOHNSON & STOKES’ BARLIEST CABBAGE.

dohnson & S tokes’ Sarlies t She Garliest and Hardest Reading of
eS all First Sarly Cabbages

No words of praise can be written that would recommend this most desirable cabbage too highly.

It is to-day more largely planted by market and private gardeners all over the United States than any

other first early cabbage known. It gives every market gardener who plants it complete control of the

early markets, and is everywhere pronounced by them the best and most profitable first — cabbage.
i

Itis ten days earlier than Early Jersey Wakefield, and is unsurpassed in fine quality, great
beauty and vigor of growth. The heads are slightly conical, large, solid and remarkably uniform in
growth. Prices, pkt., 15c.; oz., 45c.; $ 1lb., $1.25; lb., $4.50 ; 2 lbs., $8.50 ; 5 Ibs. and over, $4.00 per lb.

dohnson & Stokes’ Selected Garly gersey Wakefield Cabbage

While this sort is not so early as Johnson & Stokes’ Earliest, it will be found to be the very best —
conical headed sort to come in immediately after it. Unfortunately the great demand for Jersey Wake-
field has brought upon the market large quantities of coarse and inferior stock, which has tended to

JOHNSON & STOKES’ MARKET GARDENERS’ NO. 2, THE MOST PERFECT CABBAGE IN EXISTENCE.

Johnson & Stokes’ Market Gardeners’ Cabbage No. 2

A Flat-Headed Cabbage, Coming in with Wakefield and Producing Double the Crop of any Other Extra Early

In this yery valuable variety we have the earliest and most compact of all large cabbages.
It receives nothing but praise from Maine to California, and is pronounced by prominent gardeners

everywhere the very best of all large early cabbages, either for summer or winter use.

In it we havea

cabbage so hardy and vigorous that it can be set earlier than Jersey Wakefield or Early Summer, and
will produce fine, solid, marketable heads, more than twice as large as Jersey Wakefield and one-half
again as large as Early Summer, and come in as early as Large Wakefield and fully a week earlier than
Early Summer or any other round or flat-headed variety. When planted for a fall or winter crop, there
is no other cabbage which will withstand the summer sun so well and is so sure to form large, deep,

solid heads, which keep perfectly all winter.

Such

a cabbage is Johnson & Stokes’ Market

Gardeners’ No. 2, and all who have not yet given it a trial will, after growing it, be as enthusiastic
in its praise as the thousands of other gardeners and farmers who are now growing it to the exclusion

of all other varieties.

DANISH BALL-HEAD CABBAGE

Genuine Seed Grown by Originator in Denmark

A very handsome and extremely hardy imported cab-
bage, which is growing in popularity tn America, having
proven one of our best winter sorts. Itis highly prized in
Denmark, and grown there almost exclusively for winter
cabbage. It thrives well on thin soilsand in highly exposed
situations. The heads are of good marketable size, not quite
so large as Flat Dutch, but very hard, round, fine-grained,
and will weigh one-fourth more than other varieties of equal
size. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 25e:; 14 lb., 75e.; lb., $2.50; 2 Ibs., $4.50.

Johnson & Stokes’ Hard Heading Savoy

Market Gardeners’ Private Stock

This variety, the result of many years’ careful selection,
is certainly the perfection inthe Savoys. It is unquestionably
the best and most profitable strain to grow, being far superior
to the imported Drumhead Savoy, as generally sold, the
seed of which can be supplied at less than half the price.
The heads are large, very uniform, solid and hard, of a deep
green color. It is very curly and sure to head, keeps well
and retains its color until very late in the season. With
probably the exception of the New Long Island Colossal,
described on page 5 of Novelties, it is the best of all for either
market or the home pr oe Ob to its fine quality. Pkt.,

for sale in America this beautiful new and distinct French
earrot. The form as shown in our photograph aboveis much
handsomer than Danvers. This, with its better color, makes
it much more attractive, never becoming ringed or rooty. It
is also entirely free from.core, the flesh being tender and sweet

as bright and fresh as when first dug. Oz., 15c.; 44 lb., 40e.; Ib.,

RUBICON

HALF-LONG ORANGE OARROT,

RUBICON HALF-LONG ORANGE

The Best Half-Long and Most Thoroughbred of All

Since our introduction of this valuable and distinct
American carrot a few years ago, it has rapidly grown in
popularity, until now it is more largely grown than all other
varieties of carrot combined. It is the best in shape, and its
deep red orange-colored flesh is the finest in quality. The
strain was selected and perfected by a well-known market
gardener of Connecticut, under whose care the earrots
attained such uniform shape that they are almost exact
duplicates of each other. It is earlier than Danvers, about
the same length, but heavier and thicker at the shoulders,
making it more productive; the leaves are also shorter,
fewer and finer. It isa wonderfully heavy cropper, produc-
ing thirty to forty tons to the acre under good field culture.
It grows without neck, the crown is hollow, and it grows
well under the ground, which prevents it from becoming
sunburnt. Pkt., 5¢.; 0z.,10e.; 44 Ib.,40e.; Ib., $1.25, postpaid.
By express or freight, lb., $1.15; 5lbs. and over, $1.00 per lb.

What a prominent New York market
gardener says of the Rubicon Half-Long :

S. M. PowEti, Manhasset, N. Y., Aug. 24, 1900, writes:
“‘T sowed one pound of your Rubicon Carrot, and the yield
was way beyond my expectation; they were the earliest
and finest [have ever seen. I began carrying them to the
New York market early in July, and received $2.00 to $2.50
per barrel forthem. From the Rubicon I had the first barrel
of carrotsin New York mariket.”’

IMPROVED DANVERS HALF-LONG
CARROT

Our Improved American stock of this valuable variety
is preferred by many gardeners to any other sort. The top
is small; color, a rich shadeof orange; shape, handsome and
smooth ; quality, the very best. One highly valuable feature
of our strain is that it has its full color when quite young,
which enables it to be pulled sooner. It is equally valu-
able to grow for feeding stock, being well adapted to all
soils. Under good cultivation we have known it to produce
thirty tons to the acre. Pkt., 5e.; 0z., 10c.; 14 lb., 25e.; Ib.,

NICHOLS’ LONG ORANGE CARROT

We procured this stock some years since from Mr. Robert
Nichols, one of the most successful market gardeners of this.
city. The strain is much earlier than the Long Orange as
usually sold. The color is of a deep golden orange when
young, shading to adeep orange red when fully grown,
The root is perfectly smooth, grows without any neck;
the top is short, and this, together with its extreme earli-
ness, admirably fits it for early use. It is also one of the best.
varieties for growing outside, on account of its great pro—
ductiveness and adaptability to all kinds of soil. We are

GIANT PASCAL CELERY

This variety is a sport from our Golden Self-Blanch-
ing, thoroughly established by careful selection. It partakes
of the best qualities of that variety, but is somewhat larger
and taller. It is of a fine nutty flavor, being entirely free
from any bitter taste. It grows about two feet high; the
stalks are very broad, thick, crisp and very brittle; the
width and thickness of these are distinctive features of this
variety. It bleaches with but slight ‘‘earthing up,’’ and
very quickly, usually in five or six days. A splendid keeper
for winter use. Pkt., €c.; oz., 20e.; 14 Ib., 50c.; lb., $1.75.

very little earthing up to blanch it, and although its keeping
qualities are not quite equal to our Golden Self-Blanching,
yet as a celery for the fall and early winter use, it is unsur-
passed. Our strain of this variety is closely selected each

white color. The heart is of a beautiful golden yellow
color, very large, crisp and solid. It is unequalled in
striking appearance on the table or market stall, and decid-

NEW PERLE LE GRAND CELERY.

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 largesale. 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 sortsin weight. Itis not only a
good early celery, being among the first fit to use, but also
most valuable as a winter keeper, remaining, when properly

Our attention was first called to this remarkable new

done. It is, without doubt, the most valuable variety of
celery for winter and spring use ever introduced, even ex-
celling the celebrated Schumacker and Perfection Heartwell
asa late winter keeper. It is also much stouter, thicker and
heavier, with double the amount of heart of any known
celery. The plant is beautiful in appearance, of close habit
and compact growth, and blanches to a beautiful cream

germination, making it fully as early as Cory. It is, how-
ever, hardier than Cory, and can be planted almost as early
as Adams and Burlington Hybrid, which are the hardiest.
of all garden corns. The stalks grow vigorously to a height
of 444 to 5 feet and produce 1 to 2 good-sized ears to the stalk.
It is comparatively free from smut, and for early market
and home use cannot fail to prove a valuable acquisition.

A new

BURLINGTON HYBRID CORN

Many customers
have written us
that this variety
gives them entire
control of the early
markets. It is a
cross between
Adams’ Extra Ear-
ly anda large-eared
productive variety
of sugar corn. Its
great market value
can be readily seen
from the fact thatit
is nearly as early
as the Adams,
with an ear as
large as Stow-
ell’s Evergreen,
and more produc-
tive than either, it
having frequently
produced over one
hundred bushels to
the acre grown as a
field crop. Al-
though not legiti-
mately a sugar
corn, yetthe husks,
blades and ear in a
green state exactly
resemble the sugar
varieties, as shown
in our photograph
alongside, and it
sells readily in mar-
ket as a sweet or
sugarecorn. Itisof
much better eating
quality than the
Adams. When dry
the grain is smooth
and of a creamy
white color. The
stalks grow to a
height of about
five feet and very
compact, admitting
of close planting;
the ears begin toset
low down, and are
borne three to four GREEN EAR OF BURLINGTON HYBRID.

NEW EARLY CHAMPION
The Best First Early Sweet Corn

In recent years we have introduced several new varieties
of sweet corn, all of which have now become leading stand-
ard sorts. From our own trials and experience of a large
number of our customers who have grown New Champion
the past three seasons, we have concluded that itshould now
take its plice as the leader among the early sorts. Mr. E.
B. Clark, of Connecticut, who is one of the largest growers of
Seed Sweet Corn in this country, and we know of no one
who is a better authority on the subject, writes as follows:
““New Champion is the largest and best early corn we know
of. It ripens several days earlier than Crosby's Extra Early,
with an ear larger than Concord; in fact, many of the ears
grow fully as large as Evergreen. Itis10 and 12 rowed and
pure white in color. Its great earliness and large size cer-
tainly make it one of the most desirable for early market or
home use.”? Per pkt., 10c.; pint, 20c.; qt., 35¢e., postpaid; by
freight or express, qt., 25c.; peck, $1.00; bush., $3.50.

NEW EARLY EVERGREEN)
The Best Second Early Sweet Corn

As is well known, the famous Evergreen Sweet Corn
originated over twenty years ago with Mr. Stowell, a grower
for Philadelphia markets; but while the best variety of late
sweetcorn, no effort hasever been made toim prove it in earli-
ness until now. Inthe New Early Evergreen we have a
selection possessing every good quality of Stowell’s Ever-
green and resembling it in every respect (see photograph of
marketable ears alongside, made for comparison), except
that the stalk is about one foot shorter, more closely jointed,
and that it will mature for market in eighty days, or fully
ten days earlier. No other sweet corn will find ready sale in
a market which is supplied with Early Evergreen, and the
market gardener who wishes to get the cream of the trade,
or the home gardener who wants his table supplied with the
best, should make their plantings of this splendid variety.
Pkt., 10e.; pt., 20c.; qt., 30¢., postpaid; by freight or express,
qt., 20¢e.; peck, 85c.; bush., $3.00.

ORIGINAL STOWELL’S EVERGREEN
The Best Late Sweet Corn the

A large part of thesugar corn sold as Stowell’s Evergreen
is not the true stock. We have seen what purported to be Ff
Stowell’s Evergreen, growing on six different farms, and
there were no two of these crops the same corn, and not one
of them the true Evergreen as originated by Mr. Stowell. |
Weare satisfied that a majority of gardeners who have for §
many years grown what was called Stowell’s Evergreen,
have really never had that variety in its original purity.
Our stock has been carefully selected each season from seed
originally purchased from the originator, and notwithstand-
ing there have been scores of new varieties introduced since,
there is to-day no late sweet corn more satisfactory than the ae ay ;
true Stowell’s Evergreen, for either market, family use or 4 f ey P
canning. Pint, 20c.; qt., 30c., postpaid. If by freight or ex- j Fi BS " 2 \

NEW BERLIN GIANT—The Largest and Best Endive.

New Berlin Giant Endive

With market gardeners who tested it the past two
seasons this new German Endive has proven tobe by far the
largest in cultivation, even excelling our Mammoth Green
Curled, which it resembles in form and leaves, but of greater
size. Mr. D. Peacock, a well-known market gardener at
Irondequot, N. Y., writes: “I am so greatly pleased with

the New Berlin Giant that I send you a box of it. It is
wonderful, the largest and best I have ever seen. I will

want more of the seed next spring.’? No other Endive coni-
pares with the New Berlin Giant in large size and handsome
appearance. We have imported from the originator in Ger-
many a limited amount of the seed and offer it at the follow-
ing prices; Pkt., 10c.; oz., 30c.; 34 1b., S0c.; Ib., $3.00.

What is thought of our Seeds by those who Grow Them

We could fill almost every page of this catalogue with just such extracts from letters received.

S. M. Powe.u, Manhasset, N. Y., Sept. 24, 1900, writes:
“‘T have been buying your seeds for the past few years and
have found them far better than any bought elsewhere.
Poor seeds are dear at any price. [intend to use your seeds
Pe ooh’ in the future, as I ean find no others to equal
them.’

JAMES HALL, Scotland, Md., Oct. 22, 1900, writes: ‘‘I
must say that your seeds are better than any I can get either
in New York City or Baltimore. I have never failed in any-
thing I ever purchased from you,”’

F. B. Stork, Freeport, Ill., Oct. 16, 1900, writes: “I
have bought seeds from you the last eight years and have
never been disappointed in asingle item. I do not believe
there is a more honest seed house in the United States.”

W. H. Garrison, Slidell, La , Nov.9, 1900, writes: ‘* The
very reasonable prices of your seeds and their high quality
merit for your house increased popularity and patronage.”

JaMes M. NewMan, Fairport, N. ¥., Aug. 15, 1900,
writes: ‘‘ Your seeds turned out superior to all others that
I sowed this season ; the best I have ever been able to get.”’

W. E. Borpner, Onawa, Ia., May 11, 1900, writes: ‘‘ Your
most excellent seeds are now growing and looking much
finer than those obtained elsewhere. Your new book, Farm
Gardening is one of the best works published and should
be in the hands of every grower of vegetables.”

K. Saver, Streator, Il]., Sept. 16, 1900, writes: “We
found all your seeds more than satisfactory ; they were far
better than any we have ever been able to get from others.”

G. W. Ray, S. Portsmouth, R.I., Nov. 7, 1900, writes:
‘‘T have been uniformly successful in my garden when using
your seeds. My splendid Collie dog, bought from you when
a puppy, has been looked upon as one of my most success-
ful farming ventures.”’

CHARLES R. Hart Co., Hartford, Conn., writes: ‘‘ Seeds
and plants received in perfect condition; every package
showed evidence of perfect system in your immense trade.”

E. J. FecoHiey, Clark’s Green, Pa., writés: “‘ Of all the
seeds received from your firm, everyseed planted came up and
produced exactly as represented in your truthful catalogue.”

SENSATION LETTUCE

This remarkable variety, first introduced by us some years
since, has rapidly grown in popularity until it has become the
leader in our sales of seed among gardeners. No other lettuce
thrives so well when grown at any season of the year, with-
standing the hottest weather in a remarkable degree. Itisa
beautiful light yellowish-green color, leaves niuch blistered
on the surface, and has the peculiarity of forming a solid
head, even before half grown. Its uniform. handsome and
even growth is unequalled, and it is one of the easiest to
grow. Pkt.,10¢c; 0z., 25c.; 44 1b., 70¢.; Ib., $2.25.

NEW MAMMOTH SALAMANDER

For many years the Salamander Lettuce, owing to its
wonderful quality of withstanding heat and drought, has
been one of the most popular sorts. In the New Mammoth
Salamander we havea variety which possesses all the desir-
able qualities of the old Salamander, but grows to double the
size. It is the result of many years’ careful selection and
breeding by a Philadelphia market gardener, whose main
crop is lettuce, and from whom we obtained our original seed.
Owing to its handsome appearance and fine quality, itisa
rapid seller. Pkt., 10c.; 0z., 30¢c.; 14 Ib., 73¢.; 1b., $2.75.

Relon Seed

For many years we have been one of the largest growers
of Melon Seeds in the United States. We supply, every sea-
son over our counter, hundreds of New Jersey truck gar-
deners with our superior strains. We attribute the popularity
of our melon, as well as of other seeds, to our careful selection
of the very finest specimens of our seed stocks, thus improv-
ing and breeding up our stocks to the highest state of perfec-
tion. Many of the best and most popular melons now known
were first introduced by us.

One ounce will plant about seventy hills; three pounds
will plant one acre.

Correspond with us for SPECIAL PRICES if Seed
is wanted in Larger Quantities.

MuskKmelon (Cantaloupe)

MCCLEARY'S IMPROVED JENNY LIND MUSKMELON.

McCleary’s Improved Jenny Lind

This valuable strain is the result of many years’ careful
selection and improvement on the old-fashioned Jenny
Lind, made by Mr. John McCleary, one of the best-known
truckers of Burlington County, N. J. These melons realize
handsome prices on account of their great earliness, being
larger, roughing up better, and keeping fully a week longer
than other strains. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10¢e.; 4% 1b., 20c ; lb., $1.00,
postpaid; by express, lb., 90¢c.; 5 lbs. and over, 85ce. per lb.

Rocky Ford Muskmelon

In the past few years Colorado has devel-
oped into a great melon-growing State. In
1900 over 1,200 carloads of these now cele-
brated Rocky Ford Muskmelons were
shipped, reaching almost every large city in
the United States, where they were placed
on sale as the choicest fruits in the most
fashionable markets, alway srealizing hand-
some profits, owing to their fine quality and
appearance. They are an improvement on
and differ from the old ‘‘Netted Gem”’ in
being more oblong in shape and possessing
much better shipping and keeping quali-
ties, and are unquestionably one of the best
second early melons in existence. Owing
to the growing popularity of this melon,
much spurious seed is being offered at low
prices, and we warn our customers to be-
ware of such. In addition to selected seed
of our own growing, we also offer seed
grown and selectedin Colorado, so that our
customers can take their choice. Prices of
either: per pkt., 5¢.; oz., 10¢e.; 44 lb., 25c.;
lb., 75¢e., postpaid; by express or freight,
lb., 65¢.; 5 lbs. and over, 60c. per Ib.

THE ANNE ARUNDEL MUSKMELON.

The Anne Arundel Muskmelon

This is an improvement on the well-known Acme or
Baltimore Market, growing to double the size, with thicker
flesh. Our photograph above gives an idea of its shape and
perfect netting, and also suggests the luscious quality of the
beautiful green flesh within. Notwithstanding its large size,
itis ready for picking immediately after the extra early sorts,
isa heavy yielder and bears shipment well, its shape enabling
it to resist pressure much better than the rounder melons.
A specially valuable quality is the hardiness of the vine and
its freedom from the blight which dttacks many varieties of
muskmelon in bad seasons; it will eften continue to bear
good fruit when other vines have entirely succumbed to un-
favorable weather. The Anne Arundel is fast becoming a
great favorite for both market and family use. Pkt., 5e.; oz.,
10c.; 14 1b., 30¢.; Ib., $1.00; 5 lbs., $4.25.

Norfolk Button and Sweet Home Musk-

melons
For illustrations and descriptions of these very valuable
new sorts, see Novelties, page 7. .

Paul Rose or Petoskey Muskmelon

Paul Rose is a cross of Osage with Netted Gem. It pos-
sesses the fine netting of the Gem, averages about the same
size; but owing to the great thickness of its beautiful salmon-
colored flesh, will weigh at least one-third more than a Netted
Gem of the same size. The size is much more convenient for
packing in baskets than the Osage, while as a shipper and
long keeper it surpasses all other red-fleshed melons. In Chi-
cago and some other Western cities, where there is a good
demand for the red or salmon-fleshed varieties, the Paul Rose
sells at double the price of other sorts. Market gardeners
who grow red-fleshed melons will find the Paul Rose their
most profitable sort; nothing better could be desired or ob-
tained. Selected seed, pkt., 5c.; oz., 10¢c.; 44 Ib., 25c.; Ib., 75e.,

Frame’s Santiago Mammoth

Originated by Hon. Paynter Frame, of Delaware, who
has probably originated more varieties of watermelon than
any other hybridizer in America. In size and shape it re-
sembles the old Mammoth Iron Clad, but of superior quality.
Owing to its hybrid origin, it still shows a tendency to sport,
varying somewhat in shapeand markings of color. Pkt., 5e.;

The Frontenac Watermelon

Three years ago one of our old customers in.Florida sent
¢sasmall package of seed of this new watermelon for trial.
We planted it in an isolated spot on our trial grounds, and
found it to be decidedly the best ofa dozen new varieties,
none of them being of as uniformly fine quality as the
Frontenac. We sold the seed quite extensively last
year, and many customers write us they are well pleased
with its fine qualities. (See testimonials below.) It certainly
is one of the very finest of all for home use or nearby mar-
ket. We gave it the name of ‘‘Frontenac”’ in honor of our
old customer, who originated it and first sent us the seed.
Per pkt., 10c ; oz., 20c.; 44. ]b., 50e.; Ib., $1.75.

L. D. FULLMER, Metropolis, Ill., Sept. 16, 1900, writes:
‘““Frontenae was the earliest, largest and best melon I raised
this season.”’

F. W. Brueu, Brugh’s Mill, Va., Sept. 15, 1900, writes:
sh Frontenac is the very best of melons, very large and
early.’

H. C. SHADE, Philips, Fla., Oct. 20, 1900, writes: ‘* Your
Frontenac is early, large, fine, and stands without sun-burn-
ing longer than any other kind I ever planted.”’

DAvID Brown, Chico, Cal., Oct. 29, 1900, writes: “ Your
Frontenac Watermelon is by far the earliest and best melon
ever grown here.”’

New Triumph Watermelon
This new melon has created quite a furore among South-
ern shippers on account ofthe very high prices realized by

those who have grown them. Triumph is a cross between
the Duke Jones and Kolb Gem, having the handsome

‘dark green color of the former and the fine shipping quali-

ties of the latter, but infinitely superior in flavor and grows
much larger than either. Pkt.,5e.; oz., 10¢e.; 4% Ib., 25e; Ib.,

Johnson’s Dixie Watermelon

No melon we have ever introduced has met with such
large sale, and brought us so many strong recommendations
from growers asthis. Itis across between the Kolb Gem
and Old-Fashioned Mountain Sweet, and surpasses the
Kolb Gem in shipping qualities, and fully equals the Moun-
tain Sweet in fine eating quality and flavor, and is ten days
earlier than either. It has a remarkably thin rind, almost
impenetrable, which preserves it for a great length of time.
Its great productiyeness is shown from the fact that it fre-
quently matures six to eight
large melons to the vine.

Watermelon

For this grand new and
distinct watermelon we are
indebted to Aaron Paul, the |
veteran melon grower of New
Jersey. Itis enormously pro-
ductive, reaching a mammoth
size, with rich, dark green skin.
It cuts equal to any melon we
have ever eaten, and its ship-
ping qualities are phenom-
enal, no other melon equal-
ing itin tough skin and rind,
in this respect even superior
to Kolb Gem. While itis fast
becoming one of the leading
melons for market, it is one of
the best ‘fall round’? melons
in existence, and for the family
garden itis also without a peer.

PERKINS’ MAMMOTH LONG PODDED

This distinct new
okra is by far the best.
It was originated by M.
B. Perkins,a well-known
New Jersey trucker,after
many years of careful
study and selection. Its
productiveness is simply
wonderful. The pods
shoot out from the stalk
within three inches of
the ground, and the
whole plant is covered
with them tothe extreme
height of the plant. The
pods are an intense green
color, of unusual length,
eight to nine inches, very
slim, and do not get hard,
as is the case with other
okras. It is also much
sought after by canners,
being the best of all
green sorts for canning
for winter use. Our seed
is grown by the origin-
ator. Pkt., 5¢.; oz., 10c.;

EDIGREE nion FED a

There is no vegetable in which the quality of ihe a exerts a greater influence upon the crop than
in onions. Our stock is all grown from choice bulbs, selected by hand, and is unsurpassed in this
country. During our whole business career as seedsmen, it has always been our aim to make quality a
first consideration, price afterwards, and in no one crop have we met with greater reward for our efforts
than in onions, the demand for our seed having increased so rapidly that we have been obliged to largely
increase our facilities for growing every year for several years past.

PHILADELPHIA-GROWN SEED, or that raised in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania, is
unquestionably earlier than New E ngland seed, and still earlier compared with Western seed. This
is an important feature, as the early market onions always bring the highest prices. The growth con-
clusively proves our claim, the Philadelphia seed making bulbs ‘of better quality for keeping or imme-
diate use, either as sets or full-sized onions, long before seed from any other locality. Large, full-sized
onions can be grown from our seed the first season in any section of the United States, North or South.
To do this they should be sown as soon as possible in the spring, no matter if the w eather is cold, so the
soil works up well. This gives them a good start ahead of the weeds before hot weather.

One ounce will sow one hundred feet of drill. To grow large onions from seed, five pounds to the
acre ; to grow small sets, fifty to sixty pounds to the acre are required. For full information for culture,
stor age and marketing onions and onion sets, see our new book, ‘‘Farm Gardening.’’ Price, 50c.

two years since, has been fully substantiated by
hundreds of market ‘gardeners who planted it. It
would take half the number of pages of this book
to publish all the testimonials thus far received. | *%
Many of these we have referred to the originator,
an old expert pea grower, and he writes us he now
feels fully repaid for the nine years’ hard work
devoted to its selection and development.

Briefly stated, its important advantages are: [&

It is three to five days earlier than any
other pea. fe

The most uniform in ripening. A single |
picking will secure the entire crop. “

The vines are much stockier and more vig= |
orous. The heaviest cropper, and contains
one to two more peas per pod than any other
extra early smooth white or blue pea.

Every progressive gardener who wants to be
strictly up to date should, if he has not already
done so, give the New Record a trial.

Gradus or Prosperity Pea

A new first early and hardy wrinkled variety
of the highest type of perfection ; grows very vig-
orously ; 2} feet in height ; pods and peas of very
large size, closely resembling Telephone. The
result of our experiments 2 years ago with this Pea
at Floracroft Trial Grounds, from seed sent us
by the originator, was an utter surprise in finding a
green wrinkled variety with a pod so large as the
Gradus produces, to mature only three days after
First and Best Extra Early; hence it may be
justly claimed to be the earliest wrinkled pea
known. Our photograph alongside, made at Flora-
croft, shows the large pod of Gradus in contrast
with Extra Early, both pods being natural size.
The large pods produce from 6 to 8 peas of enor-
mous size, which, when cooked, retain their beauti-
ful soft green, and are sweet, richand mellow. Per

POPULAR VEGETABLE SEEDS

The Houlton or Aroostook County, Maine, Seed Potatoes are universally acknowledged to
be the very best. Grown in the cold Northeast, where nature and the elements alike decline existence
to all but the very hardiest varieties, they inherit those stable qualities which make incontestible their
position as leaders in the seed potato world. We make a specialty of and handle this seed solely. Pure
and true toname. The prices on this class of seed may rule somewhat higher than Western and New
York stocks; but, when quality and real worth are considered, they will be found by far the cheapest
and most remunerative to growers. We pack all our potatoes in the full size, round-hoop barrel, which
is packed solid full and double headed, thereby being made to hold about three bushels, and make no

charge for barrels or cartage.

PRIDE OF SOUTH. BOVER. PENN MANOR.

PLEASE NOTICE.—As prices are subject to market
fluctuation, we would request that our customers send in
their orders as soon as possible after receiving our Manual.
All orders will be promptly acknowledged and potatoes for-
warded as soon as weather permits, in time for spring plant-
ing. Customers residing South can have them shipped at
any time during the winter with little or no risk, but those
residing North or West had better wait until the extreme
freezing weather is over,in March or early April, which will
be in ample time for planting. To freeze potatoes, when
packed in tight barrels, requires extremely cold weather.
We ship each season several thousand barrels seed potatoes
to nearly all secuons, North, East and West, and rarely
receive a complaint of freezing. We will quote special
prices on ten barrels and over of one variety.

In drills 3 feet apart, 10 to 12 bushels to the awre
are required. 1 peck will plant about 125 hills.

POTATOES BY MAIL. All the following newer
varieties of potatoes will be sent by mail, postage
prepaid, at 30c. per pound; 4 pounds for $1.00, cor-
rectly labelled and packed.

Pride of the South

This new extra early potato is a white sport of the
Bliss’ Triumph, first found a few years ago in a large field
of that popular variety. In ripening, the vines die down all
at once, thus giving the blight, which works down into the
potatoes through the vine, no chance to work. It is a quick,
strong and vigorous grower, and in cooking qualities very
superior. Prominent plantersin the Southern States agree
in pronouncing it very productive and the most profitable
potato they have ever grown. Peck, 70c.; bush., $2.00; bbl.,
$4.25; 5 bbls. and over, $4.00 per bbl.

New Extra Early Bovee

In our trials the past three seasons we have found the
Bovee to be one of the earliest potatoes grown. Itis earlier
than Early Ohio and uncommonly prolific for such an early
variety. The vine is dwarf and stocky, and the tubers grow
remarkably close, all bunched together in the hill, close up
to the vine, sizing up to a marketable size more evenly than
any potato we ever saw; none too large or too small. The
Bovee has been tested by some of the largest potato growers
and also at nearly all the agricultural experiment stations,
and there has been but one verdict from all: ‘‘The best extra
early potato ever grown.” Peck, 75c.; bush., $2.25; bbl., $4.75.

The Penn Manor Extra Early

This variety was originated from a seed-ball of the Early
Rose. It has been critically tested and planted by some of
the most extensive potato growers, who all agree in saying
they have never found a hardier variety, doubling the Early
Rose in yield. Skin in color a lighter pink than Early Rose,
ripening a few days earlier, and with heavier foliage, which
withstands the beetle to a remarkable extent. Peck, 70c.;
bush., $2.00; bbl., $4.25; 5 bbls. and over, $4 00 per barrel,

THOROUGHBRED.

Houtron, *ARoOSTOOK CO.
| MAINE.

TABLE KING. BLISS’ TRIUMPH.

Early Thoroughbred

We think so highly of this new potato that a few years
ago we paid the originator $25.00 per barrel for ourseed stock,
and, after giving it three years’ thorough trial, we are more
than ever convinced of its great value. It is earlier than the
Early Rose and has outyielded it, two to one. The tubers
are oblong, as shown in photograph above, very smooth and
uniform, of light pinkish color and simply perfect in table
qualities. Peck, 65c.; bush., $1.75; bbl., $4.00; 5 bbls. and
over at $3.75 per bbl.

The Table King

Table King is a new seedling originated in Washington
County, the banner potato county of New York State. Tested
the past season in different States by some of our largest
potato growers, it has outyielded all other potatoes of its
class nearly two to one, and is destined to become one of the
best and most popular all-around potatoes on the
market. The skin is a light russet color, with few and
shallow eyes. The flesh is snow-white, remarkably dry,
smooth and floury when either baked or boiled. Their flavor
as a table potato is not exceeded by any variety that grows.
The vines are unusually strong and healthy. The tubers lie
compact in the hill, ripen medium early, and are entirely
free from scab, rot or disease of any kind. Peck, 70c.; bush.,
$2.00; bbl., $4.25; 5 bbls. and over, $4.00 per barrel.

Bliss’ Triumph Potato

This variety is also known by the names of Improved
Bermuda and Stray Beauty. It combines the wonderful
productiveness of the old Peerless with all the good qualities
of the Early Rose, is much more productive and matures its
crop at least a week in advance of the Early Rose. Tubers
are of medium size, round and uniform in shape, with but
a very few small ones; eyes slightly depressed; color a
beautiful light red. Its great beauty, productiveness and fine
quality make it one of the best extra early red market varie-
ties, especially for the South. Peck, 65c.; bush., $1.75; bbl.,
$4.00; 5 bbls. and over, $3.75 per bbl.

The Crown Jewel Extra Early

The Crown Jewel is a seedling of the Early Ohio, and
it partakes of all the pure and unadulterated qualities of its
excellent parent, without any admixture of baser blood. Its
skin is white and smooth, eyes shallow but strong, flesh pure
white and floury, cooking evenly throughout. The vines
grow vigorously, the roots extend very deeply into the soil,
thus resisting drought, and its keeping qualities are equal to
the best. Its extreme earliness and fine table quality
make it a most profitable potato for both the mar-
ket and home garden. Peck, 70c.; bush., $2,00; bbl.,
$4.25; 5 bbls. and over, $4.00 per bbl.

JOHNSON & STOKES, PHILADELPHIA *t° RY

NEW JUNIOR PRIDE POTATO.

New Extra Early Potato—Junior Pride

For several years we had inquiries from many large
potato growers in the Southern States for a first-class round,
white-skinned potato as early as the Red Bliss Triumph.
The Pride of the South, introduced by us a few years ago,
seemed to fill the bill, judging from its large and increasing
sales. In the Junior Pride, seed of which was offered for
sale last season for the first time, we have a new sport of the
Pride of the South, surpassing it in yield and vigor of
growth, producing fully as early potatoes of larger and more
uniform eyen size. The Junior Pride is sure to become the
leading extra early pure white potato for market and ship-
ping. Per lb., 40c.; 3 lbs., $1.00, by mail, postpaid; peck, 90c.;
bush., $2.75; bbl., $6.00, by freight or express.

SEED SWEET POTATOES

We make a specialty of Seed Sweet Potatoes, growing
our stock exclusively in New Jersey, about nine miles from
our Philadelphia warehouse, where we have unequalled
facilities for handling and storing. New Jersey grown sweet
potatoes are everywhere acknowledged to be the best in
quality, being much dryer and sweeter than those grown
in the South and West, while their Keeping and shipping
qualities are away ahead. We pack for shipment in boxes
and barrels, with greatest care; but as they are very suscep-
tible to climatic changes, we cannot hold ourselves respon-
sible for their condition afterlong journeys of several hundred
miles, and wish it distinctly understood that customers
take ALL RISKS after we deliver in good condition to the
express or railroad company here. We do not ship until
about planting time unless specially ordered todoso. Our
barrels contain three bushels—good measure. Full
and concise directions for bedding and sprouting the seed
and setting out sweet potato plants will be found in our new
book, ‘‘ Farm Gardening.” Price, 50c., postpaid.

Section of Field of the NEW VINELAND BUSH SWEET POTATO.

Vineland Bush Sweet Potato

The Vineland Bush Sweet Potato is a new variety

that is bound to revolutionize sweet potato culture. It orig-
inated on the farm of John Maytrott, the extensive sweet
potato grower of New Jersey, from the well-known Early
Nansemond and old Vineland Sweet Potato. It is a perfect
bush, with no inclination for spinning, resembling a bean
bush very closely. The tubers grow directly under the stalk.
They are most abundant bearers, good flavor, handsome
rich yellow color and excellent keepers. Customers who
have tried them say: ‘‘They are simply perfection anda
great improvement over all other vineless potatoes hereto-
fore sold.”’

OF INTEREST TO DAIRYMEN. Mr. Maytrott writes:
‘** From 2,000 plants I had in one pateh I harvested 86 baskets
of prime potatoes, 35 seconds and 27 culls, making a total of
148°< bushel baskets. I then had the tops, which average 3
pounds each, which made 6,000 pounds of green forage, which
was eaten with great relish by my cows. The milk was
rich and had a sweet, pleasant flavor. Al] other stock except
horses, thrive on it. By planting in rows, 30inches wide and@
15 inches apart, one acre will contain about 14,000 plants.
With proper care you will havea fine crop of potatoes and
about Twenty-one Tons of Green Forage.”

Prices: per lb., 40c.; 3 lbs., $1.00, by mail, postage paid ;

This great prize pumpkin first came to our attention some
years ago, while visiting France, where we secured seed,

and distributed it among our customers. The results have
been astonishing. No other pumpkin ever introduced has
reached such enormous weights, and been awarded as
many prizes. Hundreds of our customers have raised
specimens, weighing over one hundred and fifty pounds
each, the heaviest ever grown being two hundred and forty
pounds. It frequently attains a diameter of over four feet.
The flesh and skin are golden yellow, and notwithstand-
ing its enormous size, it makes a good table pumpkin.

A decided improvement on the ordinary deep scarlet,
olive-shaped radish, selected and perfected by a Philadel-
phia market grower. The tops are so small that the radishes
may almost stand touching each otherinthe rows. Its fine
shape, asshown in photograph above, is not its only supe-

proven the earliest and quickest growing of all, extremely
hardy, productive, large and handsome. We offer seed

NEW SPINACH—PARISIAN LONG STANDING

This New French Spinach surpasses our famous Enkhui-
zen Long Standing in its broad and heavy dark green
leaves, which have the true Savoy appearance. It will stand
fully two weeks longer than any other variety without run-
ning to seed, making it by far the most valuable for spring
planting. For wintering over it has proven hardier than
the famous American Savoy or Bloomsdale, coming out
from under the snow with its dark green leaves in prime

Irrigation by Cheap Modern Methods

Double the Crops Water Will Do It

There is something here for everyone who plants a seed.
The Department of Agriculture has done some effective
work in the interests of the arid sections of the far West by
disseminating information relative to Irrigation. The East,

however, has been neglected, although millions of dollars

' | are lost annually through the uncertainties of the weather.

NEW MAMMOTH WHITE BUSH,

GOLDEN CUSTARD.

NEW MAMMOTH WHITE BUSH, SCALLOPED.
An improved strain of the well-known White Bush, or Patty
Pan Squash, growing uniformly to twice the size. They
ripen early; skin a handsome white color, and wonderfully
productive. Pkt., 5c; oz ,10c.; 44 1b., 20e.; Ib., 60c.

GOLDEN CUSTARD, or MAMMOTH YELLOW
BUSH. Very productive and large, attaining a diameter of
two feet under good cultivation. Color, deep golden-yellow ;
fine quality. Pkt., 5¢.; oz., 10ce.; 14 lb., 25e.; lb., 70c.

NEW GIANT, or MAMMOTH SUMMER CROOK-
NECK. This new squash is not only earlier than the com-
mon yariety, but grows uniformly to twice the size, fre-
quently over two feet long. When grown for market they
produce handsome profits, selling ‘‘ three to one’’ compared
with the old sorts. Pkt., 5¢.; oz., 10c.; 4 lb., 20c.; lb., 65e.

LONG GREEN SUMMER CROOKNECK. Itseems
strange that this valuable squash should have been so liltle
known outside of Philadelphia market gardeners, who grow
it largely with great profit, as it ispreferred to all other sum-
mer squashes in our markets. They have a dark green skin,
slightly striped with lighter shades of green and yellow, are
very productive and of the finest quality. As a squash for
frying they are unequalled, being superior in flavor to egg-
plant. They are also delicious when made into fritters.
Pkt., 5¢.; 0z., 10c.; 144 lb., 25e.; Ib., 85e.

MAMMOTH WHALE. A new French squash; largest
of all; often three feet long and weighing over 100 pounds.
In form it is exactly the shape of the whale, hence its name.
Flesh yellow, of fine quality. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 30e.

NEW SWEET NUT SQUASH

When only half grown and cooked green, as summer
squashes, they are dry, fine flavored and delicious. Cut in
slices and fried, like egg-plants, they can hardly be distin-
guished from that excellent vegetable, but their greatest
value consists in being used as a winter squash.
When pulled before frost, laid away in a dry room or cellar,
they will keep sound and sweet the whole winter through.
For making pies, custards, etc., their beautiful yellow flesh
possesses a dry, rich, sweet flavor, even without the use of
sugar. Pkt., 5¢e.; oz., 10c.; 14 1b., 25c.; lb., 80c.

THE NEW RED HUBBARD SQUASH.

NEW RED HUBBARD SQUASH

A long-looked-for and most excellent new squash. A
sport from that old standard of excellence,the Hubbard; a
perfect type of its parent, except in color, which is a bright
orange red, exceedingly showy and attractive. Flesh much
richer in color than Hubbard, fine grained, cooks very dry,
of excellent flavor. Its keeping qualities are fully equal to,
while in productiveness it far excels the old variety. These,
with its sweet, rich flavor, attractive color and shape, are
bound to make it one of the most profitable to grow. Pkt.,

would urge such to send usa trial order, no matter
how small. Even though you may now be satisfied
with seeds bought elsewhere, we believe our
special strains of many of the newer varieties
will be found as profitable to you as they have
been to thousands of others.

For years we have made a careful study of growing the
very best tomato seed. All tomatoes showing the slightest
variation from the standard type are rigidly discarded, thus
securing the purest possible seed.

One ounce will produce about thirteen hundred plants.

ATLANTIO PRIZE TOMATOES, AS THEY APPEAR FOR SALE ON
FRUIT STANDS, ETC., DURING THE SPRING MONTHS,

ATLANTIC PRIZE TOMATO

First introduced by us in 1889. Thousands or acres are
now annually planted from Maine to Texas. Thevines grow
strong, stiff and very rapidly, setting the crown fruit when
quite young. Each vine produces from sixty to eighty large,
perfect tomatoes, very solid and of the finest quality. Pkt.,
10c.; 0Z., 20c.; 44 lb., 6Uc.; lb., $2.00.

THE EARLY BIRD TOMATO

With the exception of Spark’s Earliana, described on
page 12, this is the earliest tomato in cultivation. Notwith-
standing its medium size, many of our customers have
written us they have found it a most profitable variety to
grow, giving them control of the eurliest markets. In fact,
its great earliness, smoothness, firmness, beautiful bright
pink skin and wonderful productiveness are far beyond what
the most enthusiastic growers ever expected to realize. Pkt.,
10c.; oz., 30c.; 14 lb., 85¢.; lb., $3.00.

THE GREAT B. B. (BRINTON’S BEST)

This tomato was originated by the late Thomas H. Brin-
ton, a veteran tomato specialist. Since our introduction of it,
in 1893, it has met with very large sale in all sections, and is
pronounced by many planters ‘‘the very best main crop
tomato they have ever grown.” The vines grow vigor-
ously and produce abundantly until killed by frost. Fruit of
deep red color, uniformly even large size, and perfect smooth
shape. The skin is remarkably tough and solid, so that ripe
specimens picked from the vine will keep in good marketable
condition for two weeks, Pkt., 10e.; oz., 30c.; 4 Ib., 85e.; 1b., $3.00

At the request of Mr. Livingston we gave this new tomato

given general satisfaction among our customers who tried it.
In growing it at Floracroft Seed Gardens we found it a
decided improvement on the old Acme and Beauty, which
it resembles in color, being thicker, heavier and more solid
thaneither. The form is uniformly perfect, large and attrac-
tive. Fruit in clusters, ripening evenly and maturing quickly.

New Early Tomato—The Quicksure

The seed of this fine new tomato was offered for sale last year for the first. After giving it a
thorough trial in 1899, we purchased the entire stock of the originator, Mr. Howard Russ, a well-known
trucker of Burlington County, N. J. The coloris bright red, growing to large size, very solid, setting heavy
on the vines, and while Mr. Russ did not recommend it as a first early tomato, it would seem from the
hundreds of letters received from customers who tried it that it has proven one of the very earliest toma-
toes known tothem. It isa good one, and no tomato grower should fail to plant it. Prices, choice seed

Legal Tender Yellow Dent Corn

THE CORN WHICH CARRIED OFF THE HONORS AT THE OMAHA EXPOSITION

Our attention was attracted to this corn while visiting the Great Trans-Mississippi Exposition, at Omaha, in 1898, it
being awarded the State and county premiums in competition with hundreds of other varieties exhibited from Iowa,
Nebraska, Illinois and other great corn-growing States. The corn exhibit at Omaha was the greatest the world has ever
seen, and that the Legal Tender should have earried off the honors is of itself the highest praise that could be given it.
It is the result of ten years’ selection by a seed
corn specialist in Iowa, and is very productive,
75 to 100 bushels to the acre being a common
yield; of uniform pure yellow color; ear large
and long, with deep grain on a small cob, while
the stalk does not grow too large, usually 9 to 10
feet, the ears being set about 4 feet from the
ground. It matures in from 110 to 115 days,
and is well adapted to both light and heavy land.
Legal Tender is a heavy corn, rich in fattening
substance and will sell for the highest prices upon
any market in the land. Prices: pkt., 10e.; Ib.,
30e.; 3 lbs., 75¢e., postpaid by mail. By express or
freight, peck, 75c.; bush., $2.00; sack of 2 bush.,
$3.75 ; 10 bush. and over, $1.75 per bush., delivered
on cars here, sacks included,

The 100-Day Bristol Corn

THE LARGEST EARED, EARLIEST YELLOW DENT CORN

The 100-Day Bristol was first pointec out to us by the well-known seed
farmers, Messrs. Myers and Bowman, of Bucks Co., Pa., who, with a few neigh-
bors, had been growing it to the exclusion of all other varieties, owing to its
great earliness and wonderful productiveness, one hundred bushels to the
acre being no uncommon yield.

When we first saw this corn growing in the field, with its enormous
stalks and fodder, twice the height of an ordinary sized man, and its magni-
ficent ears, averaging about a foot in length, as shown in photograph alongside,
we were inclined to doubt its earliness. But after growiny it ourselves and on
the farms of hundreds of our customers, the past three seasons, we have found
it cut and shoeked ready for husking in ninety-five to one hundred days from
the time the seed was planted. The grain isa light yellow; the cob is smal] con-
sidering the size of the ear. It will produce as much fodder and more corn than
the famous Chester County Mammoth and other late varieties, which require
three to four weeks longer to ripen. In fact, itis a perfect field corn in all
respects. Prices of Extra Selected Seed: Pkt., 10c.; ear, 25c.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs.,
75e., postpaid, by mail. By express or freight, shelled, peck, 75¢.; bush., $1.75;
sack of 2 bush., $3.25; 10 bush. and over, $1.50 per bush., sacks included; on
ear, 25 ears, $1.75; 50 ears, $3.00; 100 ears, $5.00.

NEW FIELD CORN—DELAWARE COUNTY DENT

For some years Delaware and Chester, adjoining counties in Pennsylvania,
have given the largest yields of corn per acre of any district in the United
States. This variety, although quite new, is already very popular there, and is
regarded as the most productive of any corn grown in these counties; ears
large, grain bright yellow and of great depth, maturing in 110 to 120 days from
planting. It is one of the best. Pkt., 10c.; lb., 80c.; 3lbs.,75c., postpaid ; qt., 15c.;
peck, 75c.; bush., $1.75; sack of 2 bush., $3.25; 10 bush. and over, $1.50 per bush.,
sacks included; 450 earsfor $3.00; 100 ears for $5.00, by freight.

THE TRUE IMPROVED LEAMING CORN

Previous to our introduction of The 100-Day Bristol Corn, the True im-
proved Leaming has been considered the earliest Yellow Dent in cultivation.
The ears are large and handsome, with deep grain, of deep orange color
and small red cob. Stalks grow to medium size (not large), with few suckers,
producing two good ears to each stalk; husks and shells easily. One hundred
and thirty-six bushels shelled corn have been grown to the acre on good corn
ground. It is also adapted to a greater variety of soils than other varieties, pro-
ducing unusually well on light or heavy land, where other varieties would not
thrive. Prices, by mail, postpaid: pkt., 10c.; lb., 30¢.; 3 lbs., 75c.; by freight or
express, bags included, qt., 15¢.; peck, 50c.; bush., $1.40; 10 bush. and over,
$1.25 per bush.; ears, 50 for $2.50; 100 for $4.50.

JOHNSON & STOKES’ GIANT BEAUTY FIELD CORN

In the new Giant Beauty we have a very valuable and long-sought-for
variety, viz.: A very large ear and grain, yet a very early Yellow Dent Corn.
Giant Beauty is a cross between Cloud’s Early Dent and Golden Beauty, pos-
sessing the earliness and Deep Grain of the former, with the handsome
deep yellow color and breadth of grain of the latter. It is absolutely the lar-
gest grained of all yellow corn. Its rich, deep golden color and fine quality
of grain make it very superior for grinding into meal, and indicate its strong

nutritive qualities. It is a very vigorous grower, taking strong hold in the

ground and averaging eight feet in height, producing two large ears, well filled
to the extreme ends of the cob, even on light.and poor land. Giant Beauty pre-
sents the most perfect type of Yellow Field Corn ever introduced. Pkt., 10c.;
ear, 25c.; lb., 30c.; 3 lbs., 75¢c., postpaid, by mail; by express or freight, peck, 75c.;
bush., $1.75; sack of 2 bush., $3.25; 10 bush and over, $1.50 per bush., sacks in-
cluded; on ear, 50 ears for $3.00; 100 ears for $5.00.

The 8 well-known varieties of field corn described briefly below have been
grown specially for seed, well cured and true to name.

PRICES OF SEED OF EACH OF FOLLOWING EIGHT VARIETIES.

Per pkt., 10c.; perlb., 25c.; 3 lbs., for 65¢c., postpaid, by mail. By express or

bushels, $2.75. Ten bushels or more at $1.35 per bushel. Sacks
included; delivered f. o. b. cars at Philadelphia.

WATERLOO EXTRA EARLY DENT. Originated in Nebraska, where
it is noted for its great earliness, ripening in ninety days. The ears are small,
but it is a great yieider, and will shell sixty pounds of corn from seventy pounds
of ears every time.

WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT. Very early and adapted to poor thin
soil. The tip ends of the grains are white, the inside yellow, making it of
beautiful color, both on cob and when shelled.

GOLDEN BEAUTY CORN. A large and broad-grained yellow corn,
maturing in one hundred and ten days from planting. Our strain has been per-

A New Oats for 1901

THE GOLDEN FLEECE

We have secured from the originator in Genesee
County, New York, his entire crop of seed of this valu-
able new oats, and now offer it for sale for the first time.
The field photograph herewith represents the crop while
being harvested, and after threshing and cleaning for seed
the yield was 108 bushels per acre of large, plump, hand-
some, meaty white grain, weighing 44 lbs. to the bushel.
The yield of other varieties on neighboring farms was from
35 to 50 bushels per acre, or less than one-half that of the
GOLDEN FLEECE. This can be partly attributed to the fact that in many cases the
spikes or breast will contain three full kernels where other oats give buttwo. The
straw is very strong and does not lodge even when others with less weight of grain in
the head go down. The blade is nearly double the size of that of ordinary oats, which
is the best evidence of its inherent vigor. This new oats is remarkable for its heavy
stooling property, and for this reason 6 pecks (14% bushels) is sufficient to seed an acre.
Prices for 1901: lb., 35c.; 3 lbs. for $1.00, by mail, postage paid. Bv freight or express:
per peck, 70c.; per legal bushel (of 32 lbs.), $2.00. Sack of 3 legal bushels (96 lbs.) for $5 00.

Spring Rye owen
p = y VALUABLE
Distinct from the winter rye, grain of finer quality and more productive; can be
successfully grown in any latitude, and is now being largely sown in the Middle States
in place of oats, being a much more profitable crop, on account of the production of
nearly fourtimesthe straw, and also as a *“‘ catch’? crop where winter grain has failed.
The straw is equally as valuable as that of the fall or winter rye, standing stiff, 7 to 8 feet
high, produces 30 to 40 bushelsof grain per acre; as it does not stool like winter rye, not
less than 2 bushels to the acre should be sown. Pkt.,10c.; 1b., 35e¢.; 3lbs., $1.00, postpaid ;

Weber's Improved Evergreen

THE BEST BROOM CORN IN CULTIVATION

The high prices which have prevailed the past three
years for broom corn brush indicate that the demand has
overtaken the supply, and farmers, where possible, should
add it to their crops. The most important question is the
securing the best variety and good seed. Weber’s Improved
Evergreen is the best and purest in cultivation, originated
and selected by Mr. Geo. Weber, one of the largest growers
of Montgomery County, Pa., who has for many years had
the reputation of having the best in the State, having made
his stoelk famous by selection and improvement for length,
strength and straightness of brush. Itis of a very bright
green color without the slightest reddish tinge. It makes
by far the best brooms of any corn grown and commands the
very highest prices. Customers who have grown this corn
report yields of over 1000 lbs. of brush to the acre. Height,
seven toeight feet. Lhb., 35c.; 3 lbs., 75e., postpaid; qt., 25c.;
peck, 90c.; bush., $250; sack of 2 bush. for $4.80.

Jerusalem Artichoke Roots

This variety is not produced from seed. They are some-
times used as a table vegetable when pickled, but their
greatest value is for feeding stock. They are the best hog
food known. They are remarkable for their fattening prop-
erties, great productiveness (over one thousand bushels hay-
ing been grown on one acre) ard ease with which they can
be grown. They need not be dug; the hogsshould be turned
in on them, and will help themselves by rooting. One acre
will keep from twenty to thirty hogs in fine condition from
October until April, except when the ground is frozen too
hard for them toroot, They are also said to be a preventive
of cholera and other hog diseases, and they are also highly
recommended for milch cows, increasing the yield of milk
and at the same time improving their condition. Three
bushels will seed an acre. They should be cut the same as
potatoes, one eye to a cut being sufficient, planted in April
or May, in rows three feet apart and two feet in the rows,
and covered about two inches deep. They can be shipped
at any time during the season, as they are not injured by
freezing. Lb., 35¢e.; 3 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. By freight or
express, peck, $1.00; bush., $3.00; bbl. of 3 bush. (enough for
one acre), $7.50.

Chufas, or Garth Almond

Cyperus esculentus. A species of ‘‘ grass nut’’ used to
fatten hogs. They should not be confounded with the cocoa,
or nut grass, for though it belongs to the same class, the Chufa
is eradicated with great ease, and isnevera pest. The nuts
grow under ground, very near the surface, easily reached by
pigs or poultry. Easily and cheaply grown and very abund-
ant in yield, eaten greedily by hogs, which take on fat very
rapidly from them. Plant in April, ten to twelve inches
apart in three-foot rows. Cover lightly. Ifthe seedis very
dry, soak well before planting, to secureagoodstand. They
mature early in September, and lie in the ground till wanted.
One peck of seed to the acre. Pkt., 10c.; pint, 25c.; qt., 40c.,
postpaid. By express, qt., 25c.; peck, $1.00; bush., $3.75.

EVER MER §
W HY PES PAnNEE SIRE? omow

In arecent publieation of an Eastern agricultural monthly,
the following appears :

‘* About four miles from this place lives a German farmer
who each year devotes one acre to the cultivation of Sun-
flowers. He says one acre yields 75 to 100 bushels of seed,
which he uses as feed for his chickens and which horses and
cows relish when mixed with grain. He also uses the seed.
to manufacture an oil or liniment, which he says will curea
scratch, bruise or callous sore on man or beast. To prepare
this oil he simply crushes the seed, securing athick gummy
oil to which he adds a quantity of turpentine. After his
harvest of the seed he houses the stalks, and uses them as
fuel in the winter. The Sunflower is a very thrifty plant,
and should be more generally grown, as it will flourish in
any climate. It grows riotously everywhere in the United
States.”’

PEAS For Fodder and Plowing under

**Peas could be made to bring more nitrogen to
the soils of this country every year than is now pur-
chased annually by the farmers at a cost of millions
of dollars.”—U. S. Department of Asriculture.

A COW PEA FIELD IN THE NORTH.
PEAS SOWN JUNE 16TH AND PLOWED UNDER AUG. 81ST.

COW PEAS (The Great Soil Improver)

Make Poor Land Rich. Make Good Land More Pro-
ductive. Enriching the Soil Even When
the Crop is Cut Off.

Green crops plowed under are one of the best and cheap-
est ways of improving the soil. For this purpose the cow
pea is most popular, especially for medium or light soil.
They should be sown in May or June, at the rate of 14
bushels to the acre, and plowed under as soon as they have
attained their full growth. While this crop is very largely
grown wherever known, with the results attained from it the
wonder is, that it is not grown ten times as much as at
present. There is no surer or cheaper means of improving
poor soil than by sowing cow peas. In its capacity as a
nitrogen gatherer its growth largely enables the farmer to
dispense with the use of nitrogen or ammoniated fertilizers.
Nitrogen or ammonia in commercial fertilizers is valued at
fifteen cents per pound. The cow pea, to a greater extent
than any other Jeguminous crop, with possibly the exception
of the New Velvet Bean, described alongside, has the
power to extract this costly nitrogen or ammonia from the
atmosphere. The best varieties for all purposes are the
Southern Black Eye and Black Cow Pea. PRICES:
Black Eye Cow Pea (Whippoorwill), per bushel, $2.25;
Southern Black, or Ram’s Horn, per bushel, $1.75. Prices
vary with the market. Write for prices on large lots.

Prof. Jared G. Smith, of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, saysof their feeding value: The green vines are more
succulent than Red Clover orany of the Grasses. The hay
is more nutritious than hay produced from Grasses, Millets,
or any other plant used for the purpose, one ton of

At a recent call at the home farm of Dr. A. F. Neale,
Director of the Delaware College Agricultural Experiment
Station, we noticed a field of corn and cow peas growing
together for ensilage purposes. We were much interested
in the experiment, as, if successful, the cow peas would
give to the silage the much-needed protein that is lacking in
corn fodder. Later on, as the crop matured, Dr. Neale gave
us the following particulars:

The corn used was Johnson & Stokes’ 100-Day Bristol,
sown May 10th, and eight days later Whippoorwill Cow
Peas were drilled in about four inches from the corn rows.
When we saw it in August, the peas were about up to the
ears of Corn, but on maturity they reached to the top
of the corn and leaned over.

The crop was gathered with a McCormick Harvester,
which handled forty tons a day. Seventeen tons per acre
was the crop of fodder and cow peas, and these were put
through the fodder cutter just as they were thrown off the
machine at the rate often bundlesa minute. Ongood ground
it was found that the two crops were in the proportion of 60
per cent. cow peas and 40 per cent. corn, and on lighter land,
30 per cent. cow peas and 70 per cent. corn. Altogether, the
experiment was considered a pronounced success, though
care should be used in getting a proper balance in earliness
of growth between the corn and peas.

CANADA FIELD PEAS 4° QATS

FOR FODDER
For Dairy Cows and Hogs, equal to Corn, and Six Weeks Earlier

These make a fodder and hay which in every case
doubles the production of milk. The Canada Field Pea,
which we sell at $1.25 per bushel, is the best for this purpose.
They should be sown in March or early April, two bushels
of peas and two bushels of oats tothe acre. The peasshould
be sown first and plowed under about four inches deep; the
oats then sowed and harrowedin. They will be ready for
cutting about the latter end of June, when the oats are in
milk and the pods formed on the peas.

SOJA BEAN—New Early Variety

The ordinary soja bean, described below, while valuable
for the South, is too late to be of value in the far Northern
States. This variety ripens in Northern New York and the
New England States, where it has been grown over four
feet in height, heavily podded with seed and yielded over
ten tons per acre. It is a valuable fodder variety either for
feeding green or for the silo. Being arich nitrogenous feed,
it is unsurpassed as a flesh-former, and, like the clovers, isa
soil-improver, deriving its nitrogen from the air. Pkt., 10c.;
Ib., 25c.; 3 lbs. for 60c., by mail, postage paid; by express or
freight, qt., 25¢.; peck, $1.00; bushel of 60 lbs., $3.50.

SOJA BEAN—Late Variety

The dry beans, roasted und ground resemble and taste like
coffee, hence it has been advertised as German Coffee Berry.
Its great value, however, is as a forage crop and forfertilizing
the soil and for pasturing or feeding the green fodder. Sow
broadcast one-half bushel to the acre, or it may be planted
in drills three feet apart and one foot between plants. PEt.,

SECTION OF FIELD OF VELVET BEAN SHOWING ITS ENORMOUS
GROWTH.—OBSERVE THE VINES RUNNING OVER
THE TREES ON THE RIGHT.

VELVET BEAN (The Great Nitrogen Gatherer)

A worthy rival of the Cow Pea

This new and important forage plant from India is cre-
ating a great sensation throughout the Southern States.
where it is supplanting the cow pea for cattle food and as a
soil renovator. Since our introduction of it three years since,
it has been grown in many of the Northern States with great
success and is worthy ofa trial everywhere. Its nitrogen-
gathering properties are said to surpass those of the cow pea.
It is the rankest grower ofany of the legumes; two or three
seeds planted four feet apart in rows five feet apart will liter-
ally cover the ground two to three feet thick with a mass of
foliage and vines 20 to 25 feet long, no matter how poor the
soil. It leayes a mulch on the ground that is very beneficial
to the soil. r

Dr. Stubbs, Director of the Staie Experiment Station,
says: ‘‘I believe that it can be cut advantageously almost
any time from June to October, and cured in less time than
cow pea hay, because the stems are smaller, It seems to
make an excellent hay and stock eatit well. It isa heavy
nitrogen gatherer, and the tubercles on its roots are the
largest of any plant I have observed; corn-like clusters of
tubercles have been collected, that make a mass, from one
single growth, almost as large as a common hen’segg. The
vines of this plant are now about 30 feet in length, from seeds
planted in May.” The cultivation is the same as for cow
peas. Prices, pkt., 10c.; Ib., 25¢.; 3 lbs. for 60c., by mail, post-

DWARF ESSEX RAPE, Growing for Sheep Feed.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE

Dwarf Essex Rape of the True Biennial Variety
is considered indispensable by the sheep and cattle farmers
of Great Britain, aud is fast coming into use in this country
on account of its rapid growth, being ready to feed in ten
weeks from sowing, and producing twenty-five to thirty tons
of green forage to the acre. It grows to a height of three feet
and covers the surface so densely as to smother out all weeds
and to kill quack and other objectionable grasses. It can be
sown all through the season, being perfectly hardy, with-
stands drought, and will produce a cropinany soil by sowing
broadcast at the rate of five pounds to the acre, or in drills or
rows two feet apart at the rate of three pounds per acre
While unequalled as a pasture for sheep, as a fattening food
for all cattle, calves or pigs, itis without a rivalin point of
cheapness, furnishing succulent food from May to December.

celleit, the whole stalk tender to the full
maturity of seed. There is no failure
about it, as it possesses the quality that
all the ' tribe possess, of waiting for
rain without any loss of capacity to
yield. The grain is extremely valuable
for feeding to poultry and will makea
flour thatis like wheat. Cultivated the

Australian Salt Bush

THE FORAGE PLANT FOR ALKALI SOILS.—
Yields 20 tons to the acre on any soil without water.
Introduced into the United States by the University of Cali-
fornia. One plant will cover 200 to 300 square feet in
one season, covering the ground with a matting of from six
to eiglhtinches thick. It remains green all winter, and will
yield 20 to 30 tons to the acre. One pound of seed will plant
an acre. Sow broadcast, in soil well pulverized, after all
danger of frost is past. Mix the seed with ten times its weight
of loam, sand, ashes or plaster; cover lightly, not exceeding
Y%ofaninch. The seed germinates quickly, and the plants
soon take possession of the ground. Orit may be sown ina
hot bed, cold frame or boxes; transplant when two inches

birds from September on, and also purifies the water and
affords a refuge for the small fry from the large fish. To
sow:—‘‘ Put the seed in coarse linen or cotton bags, and sink
in water for 24 hours. Sow in water which is from 6 inches
to 5 feet deep, in soft mud bottom, and in places where there
are but few weeds. Itis useless sowing this seed except on

HUNGARIAN BROME-GRASS

(Bromus Inermis)

This great drought defying, frost-resisting grass is now
attracting much attention in the United States. It yields
enormous crops of splendid hay, and affords rich, abundant
pasturage. Bromus Inermis has been known in Europe for
over one hundred and thirty years. It is grown extensively
in Hungary and is commonly known as Hungarian, or
Smooth Brome-grass. In 1884 the California Experiment
Station reported: ‘‘ Our experience indicates that it will do
well either with or without irrigation.’”’ Since that time the
State Stations in Colorado, Minnesota, Manitoba, North
Dakota, South Dakota and the different grass stations of
the United States Agricultural Department, have made ex-
tensive experiments, and all speak of itin the highest terms.
It endures extremes of temperature and resists protracted
drought, succeeding where Alfalfa fails. Poor lands are no dis-
couragement. It grows best in light, sandy loam, but its roots
will penetrate the stiffest clays. It is equally good for cutting
green, pasturing or cutting into hay, and the dense, tough sod
it forms is most valuable for holding the banks of ditches and
strengthening the turf of ‘sandy soil. It can be sown alone
and also does well sown with clover, or with clover and tim-
othy. Use 20 pounds to the acre if alone; if with clover, 15
pounds. It may be sown in the fall with winter wheat, or in
the spring. To be cut when first coming into bloom.

its leaves very early. All grazing animals eat it greedily ;
cows fed on it produce a very rich milk. It is especially rel-
ished by sheep. Its bluish green stems retain their color after
the seed isripe. It shrinks less in drying than most other
grasses. Itis an excellent grass for dry, sandy, thin soilsand

A PORTION OF LAWN AT FLORACROFT, SOWN WITH JOHNSON & STOKES’ EVERGREEN LAWN MIXTURRE.

FPHOHEH .-DAYS, OF-AISING Sep

will soon be over when people know how easily beautiful lawns are made ready for cutting in from 6
to 8 weeks by sowing Johnson & Stokes’ Lawn Grass Seed Mixtures. The judicious selection of Grass
Seed, for the creation of a beautiful lawn or grass plot, or a durable pasture or hay crop, requires a
knowledge obtained only by an intimate study of the habits of varieties as respects quality of herbage
and vigor of constitution. It is not sufficient to select the one Grass indigenous to the soil or climate,
for it may not possess the many qualities desirable for the purpose desired, for hardiness and perma-
nence, which combination of qualities and character is best found in a mixture of sorts, as described below.

Johnson & Stokes’ Evergreen Velvet Lawn Seed Mixture

The best Lawn Grass Seed for the American climate. With it you can renovate old and make
new lawns, grass plots, tennis courts, etc., as soft as velvet and as green as emerald all summer long.

For years we have made the formation of permanent lawns a study, with the result that in our
Evergreen Seed we have a mixture of various grasses that grow and flourish during different months
of the year, and that will insure a beautiful dwarf, green, compact sward, and remain green and fresh
during our hot, dry summer months, even when sown on Golf Links, Lawn Tennis, Croquet, and Ball
Grounds in constant use, and on partially shaded lawns. It has become widely known and is exclu-
sively used on the finest public and private grounds around Philadelphia, New York and other cities.
Qt., 20c ; 2 qts., 35c.; (qt., postpaid, 25c.;) peck, $1.00; bush., 20 lbs., $4.00.

Fairmount Park Lawn Grass Seed Mixture

This is composed of fine grasses, some of them being less expensive than those used in our Ever=
green Velvet Mixture, and will give excellent results. It has stood the test of years, and is especially
adapted for embankments and terraces, as well as exposed lawns and for light seashore sandy soils. It
is the best cheap lawn seed mixture on the market. Qt.,15¢; 2 qts., 25c.; (qt., postpaid, 20c.;) peck, 75c.;
bush, 14 lbs., $2.50.

A quart of Lawn Grass Seed will sow about 300 square feet. Three to four bushels are required to
sow an acre. Instructions how to prepare and sow alawn accompany each package or bag of seed.

WHITE DUTCH CLOVER. While our lawn mixtures contain a good sprinkling of white clover
seed, yet many prefer to use it in larger quantities and sow it separately, as it forms a fine mat of beau-
tiful green color in about two weeks from sowing. Per lb., 30c ; 101bs. for $2.50; bushel of 60 lbs. , $12.00.

Special [lixtures for Permanent Pastures and Mowing Lands
Price, $2.50, per bush.; 10 bush. and over, $2.25 per bush., sacksincluded. Sow 2 to 244 bush. to the acre.

In the preparation of these mixtures for permanent pasture and mowing, the greatest care is exer-
cised in selecting such varieties as are suited to the soil to be laid down and to realize the object in view.
To facilitate this, a description of the soil, whether light, medium, or heavy, also climate, and
purpose for which sown, and if with or without a crop, should accompany each order.

JOHNSON & STOKES’ No.1 MIXTURE FOR PERMANENT PASTURE. Contains, blended
in proper proportions for the purpose, and according to conditions of soil and climate, the following
grasses: Orchard Grass, Sheep’s Fescue, Meadow Fescue, Hard Fescue, Canadian Blue, Perennial Sweet
Vernal, Meadow Foxtail, Tall Meadow Oat, Red Top, Kentucky Blue, Italian Rye Grass, Perennial Rye
Grass, Rhode Island Bent, Timothy, Wood Meadow, Rough-Stalked Meadow, Alsike Clover, White
Clover, Mammoth Clover. Bushel, $2.50 ; 10 bushels, $22.50, sacks included.

(Pi oe No. 250. ARCTOTIS GRANDIS

Remarkably handsome new annual from Southwest
Africa, growing luxuriantly in our climate and forming pro-
| fusely branched bushes of about 2 to 24% feet in height and
breadth. The leaves are soft and whitish. Its flower heads,
borne on long stems and rising well above the foliage, are
large and showy, from 24% to 3 inches across; the ray florets
being pure white on the upper surface are embellished by a
narrow yellow zone at their base; reverse of petals pale lilac.
| Under the influence of bright sunlight the flowers spread out

ARCTOTIS GRANDIS

AGERATUM MEXICANUM NANUM

No. 109. “‘ The Princess Victoria Louise.’”’

This is a lovely and beautiful novelty. Its dwarf, com-
pact, even growth makes it specially adapted for borders or
carpet bedding. It also makes an ideal pot plant. The
bushes are 344to 5ineches high, and 6 to 9 inches wide, with
fine green foliage, and on every tender shoot the beautiful
‘flowers develop in constant suecession. The charm of the
flower isin its color, the pure white centre being surrounded
witha thin edge of delicate blue. Unfortunately the photo-
graphie illustration cannot show this color, as blue when
photographed takes white, but the color effect is a delicate
blue and not white, as the illustration would seem to indi-
eate. Price, per pkt., 15c.

No.107. Ageratum ‘ Blue Perfection ”’

This sterling novelty is the darkest colored of all the large
flowering ageratums. Dwarf, compact growth, making ita
valuable plant for beds or borders. Its color is a deep ame-
thyst blue, and has nothing of the faded-out appearance of
the old-style ageratum. Price, per pkt., 10c.; oz., $1.00.

Dolichos—Purple Soudan

No. 1125. A very curious and highly decorative climber.
The twining stems are of an intense purple color, and the
beautiful, sweet-pea-like flowers are produced during the
entire summer. They are white and rose in color, contrast-
ing strikingly with the dark foliage. Following the flowers
there come beautiful, glossy, dark red seed pods. These are
very freely produced, and are a great ornament to the plant,
it often happening that at the base of the pod two new
flowers are produced, giving the plant a very curious and
highly decorative effect. It stands heat well, and for cover-
ing porches, walls, trellises, ete., will be found very useful.
At our ‘“‘Floracroft Gardens,’”’ where this seed was grown, it
attracted much favorable comment. Price, per pkt., 10e.

THE MAXIMUS,

THE MAXIMUS

The Greatest of all Strawberries

After careful test we find it to be the largest and
most beautiful of all Strawberries. Perfect bloomer;
plant strong and robust. Produces two and four fruit stalks
to a plant, all of them well filled with large to very large
berries. Berries conical, deep, glossy scarlet, never mis-
shapen; flesh pink, sometimes white at the centre, very
tender, of mild flavor. If there is such a thing as the
ONE great Strawberry, Maximus fills the bill.

CLYDE. (Perfect Blossom.) Mr. J. H. Hale, the well-
known strawberry culturist, says of Clyde: It heaped its
huge berries one upon the other in greatest profusion
everywhere, great, big, rollicking fellows, as perfect
in form as the smail end of a hen’s egg—the most
uniformly symmetrical lot of berries I have ever seen,
with not one single or imperfect berry from begin-
ning to end of season. Clear, light scarlet color; beauties
inevery way. Moderately firm and of fine quality.

GLEN MARY. Very vigorous; perfect-blooming plant
of Brandywine and Isabel type. Enormously productive of
large to very large, bright, deep red berries. Yellow seeds
on surface ; flesh very firm. Light red clear to the centre;
sweet, rich and high-flavored; a decidedly good berry in
point of plant, yield, great size, fine form, bright
color, firmness and good quality.

BISMARCK. Perfect flowering. A new and vigorous
seedling of Bubach. Plant very vigorous, fruit stalks very
heavy. Broad, dark leaves. Moderately productive, but all
the berries are large to very large. Lightscarlet color
and glossy. Pink flesh, excellent in quality. Bismarck
has all the good points of Bubach, combined with perfect
blooming, larger and more perfectly formed berries of much
higher quality.

MARSHALL. (Midseason.) The berries are very beau-
tiful and average extraordinarily large—often 14 will fill a
quart measure. Asa berry for home use itis peerless. It is
the first of the extra large varieties to ripen, and although of
great size the fruit is rarely ever misshapen. The color is a
rich glossy crimson that everyone admires.

BRANDYWINE. (Midseason to very late.) Brandywine
is already world-famous ; in fact, we doubt if any strawberry
ever before has received such enthusiastic praise over so
wide an extent of territory. The berries are of large size,
glossy searlet, very firm, solid and shapely, of delightful
aroma, rich, juicy and luscious, and wonderfully productive.

“THE GANDY.” (Late.) One of the best late straw-
berries ever introduced. Strictly fancy. The fruits are
uniformly large, perfect in form, and firm; color, bright
erimson and as glossy as if varnished. Quality superb,
delightful aroma, suggestive of both strawberries and
peaches.

BUBACH No. 5(P). (Midseason.) A prominent straw-
berry grower says: ‘If all varieties were culled out but ten,
he would place Bubach No. 5 at the head of the list on
Pt of its large, bright berries, immense yield and fine

avor.

PRICES: The above is the cream of any list, no matter
how large it may be. By mail, postpaid, per dozen, 40c.;
per 100, $1.75; by express, per dozen, 30c.; per 100, $1.25; per

THE REPEATER.

“REPEATER”

For several seasons past our attention has been called
to a strawberry which made its appearance in market in
September, and we were at first loath to believe that the fruit
could be obtained under natural conditions at that season of
the year. Investigation, however, showed that such was
the case; the fruit was picked in the open field from the same
plants that produced a bounteous cropin June. The fruit is
very large when well grown,aglossy crimson, delicious
flavor, and a great pointinits favoris that it is very easily
hulled. It is a perfect-flowered variety, medium to late.
Price, 50e. per dozen; $2.50 per 100.

NEW FRENCH STRAWBERRY
‘¢‘Saint Antoine de Padoue’”’

This is very similar to the new perpetual, ‘‘St. Joseph,”
introduced two years ago, but is far superior to that wonder-
ful variety in that it has a robust constitution. The plants
are vigorous and strong, very dark green, throwing out its
runners in every direction. The fruit is similar to the ‘‘St.
Joseph,’’ large, beautiful crimson color and of fine flavor.
It puts out strong runners very early in the season, and these
very soon throw up blossoms and fruit, and, weather condi-
tions being favorable, will continue to fruit all summer.
Stock very limited, and only offered till unsold. Price, 20e.
each; 3 for 50c.; 7 for $1.00; per dozen, $1.50; 25 for $2.50.

NEW TWICE-BEARING
‘LOUIS GAUTHIER’? STRAWBERRY

This new French variety has enormous size and a twice-
bearing habit by means of its runners. It is vigorous in
every direction. Itis enormously prolific, one hundred and
sixty berries having been counted on one plant. The run-
ners, like the St. Joseph, are produced early in the season,
and quickly come to maturity, producing, under favorable
circumstances, a second crop of fruit about the month of
September. These are perhaps not quite so large as those
produced in early summer, but are of equally fine flavor, and
will prove most acceptable at that season of the year.

THOROUGHBRED ANGORA CATS.

These beautiful animals are becoming very popular, as
they make dainty, intelligent pets as well as useful mousers.
The solid colors are the most expensive, but the mixed
colors make equally fine animals. Their hair is wonder-
fully long, silky and beautiful in a striking degree. They
are as different from the ordinary cat as the Arabian thor-
oughbred is from the car horse. Many have found it very
profitable to have a pair and sell their kittens. We ship
from Maine, where we have them bred for us.

SCOTCH COLLIE SHEPHERD DOGS

The Collie is the most intelligent of all dogs, is
easily educated, a good watch-dog and protector of
our yards and herds, a household pet and children’s
friend, a loyal and affectionate comrade and mes-
senger.

In every poultry establishment or dairy or stock
farm there is enough for an intelligent collie to do
to save the employment of an extra hand.

Color. We prefer sable and white, as we think
they make the handsomest dogs, but we often have them
black and tan and black and white, and white with tan
spots.

Breeding. Our Stud Dogs and Breeding Bitches are all
pedigreed and registered in the American Kennel Club
Stud Book, and in their veins runs the bluest of blue
blood. All of our pups are furnished with pedigree, and
they can be registered at an additional cost of $1.00, which
is the Club’s fee.

Price. Price of Puppies largely depends upon breeding
and individual specimens. We can mostly supply good
males at $10 to $15 each, and females at $8 to $10 each; $17 to

” $25 per pair.
PRICE LIST.

Colors range solid white, black, yellows and mixed.
