D. M. FERRY & GO'S IMPROVED MAMMOTH LONG RED. 



An improvement on the old variety. The roots are very large, uni- 

 formly straight and well formed, proportionately thicker, and are 

 deeper colored than the common sort and with smaller tops. We 

 know our stock of this variety will produce the largest and finest 

 roots which can be grown and that it is vastly superior to many 

 strains of the same sort offered under other names such 

 as Xorbitan Giant, Colossal, 3Ionarch, etc. Pkt. 5c;

LONG RED. A large, long variety, grown for stock 

 feeding. It stands a good deal out of the ground; color 

 hght red; flesh white and rose colored. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 

 2 0z. 10c; %Lb. 15c: Lb. 35c. 



YELLOW LEVIATHAN. Roots long, olive shaped, 

 very large, growing over one-half out of the ground; 

 flesh white, sweet and tender; tops bright green, com- 

 paratively small; neck small, short. We think this is 

 perhaps the best of the j-ellow field beets, because its fine 

 flesh never becomes woody, and its roots grow so well 

 out of the ground that the crop is easily harvested

 YELLOW OVOID, OR INTERMEDIATE. Root 

 ovoid, intermediate between the long and globe varieties; 

 flesh solid, nearly white, zoned with yellow; hardy, 

 vigorous and productive. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 10c; 

 % Lb. 15c; Lb. 35c. 



ORANGE GLOBE. We think this is one of the best 

 varieties of Mangel Wurzel gro^vn for stock feeding. 

 It has exceedingly small tops and few leaves; leafstalks 

 and blades green: roots medium sized, uniformly globe 

 shaped, having a very small tap and few side roots : color 

 of skin deep orange yellow; fle.sh white and of excellent quality. 

 The roots grow almost entirely above ground, making them admir- 

 ably adapted to shallow ground and very easy to harvest.

GOLDEN TANKARD. Tops comparatively small, with yellow 

 stems and mid-ribs; neck very small; roots large, ovoid, but fllled 

 out at top and bottom so as to approach a cylindrical form. Flesh 

 yellow, zoned with 



white. A great im- 

 provement and worthy of 

 use on every farm.

YELLOW GLOBE, a large, round, 

 orange colored variet}'. of excellent 

 quality, producing a better crop on 

 shallow soil than the Long Red. The 

 roots often keep better than those of 

 the long varieties as they can be more 

 easily handled without' injury. Pkt.

BROCOLI 



Although originating from a very distinct type, the 

 modem improved sorts of brocoli can scarcely be dis- 

 tinguished from cauliflower; the points of difference 

 being that they are generally taller and the heads 

 more divided. By some considered more dehcate 

 than the cauliflower. 



Culture.— The same as that given for cauliflower. 



EARLY PURPLE CAPE. This is the best variety 

 for our climate. It produces large heads, of a browm- 

 ish-purple color, very close and compact, and of 

 excellent flavor. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 40c; 2 Oz. 75c; ^ Lb. 

 $1.25; Lb. $1.00. 



B RUSSELS S PROUTS 



tiie plants which are very hardy, grow two or three feet 

 high, and i)roduce from the sides of the stalk numero\is little 

 sprouts resembling cabbage heads, one or two inches in dia- 

 meter. The leaves should be broken down in the fall, to give 

 the little heads more room to grow. They should be treated 

 in all respects like winter cabbage or kale. We offer a care- 

 fully grown strain, very hardy and giving compact, round 

 sprouts of large size and good quality.
