FERRY & GO'S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 



Sweet Peas — Early Flowering Spencers 



A new class of Sweet Peas of which Yarrawa, offered by us last year, was the forerunner. The addition 

 this year of several very desirable new shades and colors assures this class of a prominent place in Sweet Pea 

 lists of the future. The flowers have all the excellent qualities of the later flowering Spencers but will bloom 

 a full month or more earlier and furnish an abundance of flowers during the entire season. They are equally 

 valuable for growing under glass or for planting outdoors. The following list represents the most recent in- 

 troductions and the most desirable varieties of the class. (See cut, page 97, and further description, page 95)

Marigold — El Dorado 



A strain of this old fashioned garden favorite with large double flowers of deep golden color. They are 

 easily grown and even where space is limited a few plants will furnish a profusion of bloom long after many 

 of the more tender annuals have been killed by frost. In beds or borders they are among the most showy of 

 our garden flowers. {See colo7'ed plate on opposite page and fuHher description, page 83) Pkt. 5c. 



Salpiglossis 



The charm of many a garden is often found in having some space devoted to flowers that are different from 

 the well known favorites we are all familiar with. Salpiglossis is one of these desirable additions that should 

 nave a place in your garden. The dainty funnel shaped flowers in various shades of yellow, scarlet, crimson, 

 blue or purple are beautifully veined or penciled and are borne on long graceful stems. They are excellent for 

 cutting. {See colored plate,'page gi, and further description, page 90) 



Fine Mixed Pkt. 5c. Large Flowering Mixed Pkt. 10c. 



Lettuce — May King 



For many years we have made careful comparative trials of early varieties of Tettuce, including all novel- 

 ties that promised to be of distinctive merit, but we have found none offered to be so reliable as May King as 

 a first early heading sort. It is the best extremely early heading variety yet introduced for forcing under glass . 

 It is equally desirable for first early planting out of doors where marketable heads are required as early as 

 possible. Our stock is of superior quality. {See cut and further description, page 41) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25e:

Lettuce — Big Boston 



This compact, large heading lettuce leads 

 all others as a shipping variety. In the north 

 Big Boston is the sort most extensively culti- 

 vated in the open ground for early summer 

 and fall markets. It is particularly adapted 

 to muck lands. In the south Big Boston is 

 used more than any other variety for ship- 

 ment north in the winter. No other variety 

 that we know of gives satisfaction under so 

 many varying conditions. We heartily rec- 

 ommend our stock of Big Boston to the most 

 discriminating trade. We believe the seed 

 we offer is the best obtainable. {See descrip-

Lettuce— Unrivaled Summer 



A large, light bright green heading lettuce 

 similar in habit of plant to Big Boston but a 

 trifle earlier maturing as an outdoor summer 

 variety and having no red or bronze shading 

 on the leaves. The seed is white. The heads 

 are large, firm and of excellent quality.

Radish — -Early Scarlet Turnip 

 White Tipped 



The stock we offer is exceptionally attrac- 

 tive in its splendid coloring. The scarlet is 

 unusually deep and affords a very distinct 

 and pleasing contrast with the large clear 

 white tip. {See cut on this page and further
