4 NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES, D. M. FERRY & CO., DETROIT, MICH. 



Celosia 



Pyramidalis plumosa 



This attractive type of Celosia will be found very satisfactory for garden decoration. The plants which are 

 of pyramidal form are about three feet high with each branch terminating in a spike or feather-like flower head, 

 which often resembles a brilliantly colored ostrich plume. The stems are long, admirably adapted for cutting and 

 the flowers last exceptionally well when placed in water. Used either alone or in combination w4th other flow- 

 ering plants or shrubs they will be found very desirable for furnishing bloom of the most brilliant color from 

 midsummer until frost. For their best development they require a moist situation and if given plenty of water 

 will often furnish specimens of unusual size and beauty. (See colored plate on opposite page, and further description ^ 

 page 76.)

Sweet Pea — Miss California 



This new Spencer Sweet Pea was 

 granted an Award of Merit by the 

 British National Sweet Pea Society in 

 1924. The general color-effect is a rich 

 beautiful salmon pink of a distinctly new 

 shade. The flowers are beautifully v/aved 

 and frilled and borne in fours on long, 

 stout stems. The plants are exception- 

 ally vigorous. As a cut flower for inte- 

 rior decoration this variety compels 

 admiration because of its charming color 

 both in daylight or under artificial light. 

 A truly magnificent variety for either 

 exhibition or garden decoration. Pkt. lOc.

Sweet Pea — Crimson King 



This superb variety is, we believe, 

 the finest crimson sweet pea yet 

 offered. The rich deep crimson color is 

 of a distinctive shade that makes it in- 

 stantly noticeable. The plants are of 

 strong vigorous growth and produce 

 abundantly a profusion of beautiful long 

 stemmed sprays. The flowers are per- 

 fectly placed on strong, stiff stems and 

 are seemingly always properly spaced. 

 There is no distinguishing difference in 

 color between the standard and wings 

 and the flowers seem to be free from 

 sunburn and wind scald. We urge you 

 to try this splendid variety; we are sure 

 you will be delighted with it. {See fur- 

 ther description, page 95) Pkt. 10c; Oz. 60c;
