Vegetable Seeds to Meet the Needs 



The following pages, 26 to 32, offer vegetable varieties particularly adapted to market garden, canning, and 

 shipping. Many of them are also suited to home gardens. A few are limited to certain sections with special climatic 

 conditions. Pages 34 to 44 present what are generally known as standard vegetable varieties for home gardens. 



Both lists contain new and unusual items, many of them Ferry-Morse introductions. Your dealer will 

 be glad to supply you with seed of the selections you make from either list, and in the quantities you desire.
