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



Cabbage — Eeurly Jersey Wakefield 



This standard variety as offered by us 

 maintains its reputation as the earliest and 

 surest heading of the first early cabbages for 

 market gardening trade. Our stock, grown 

 and selected with great care, is of first 

 quality. {See further description, page 22) 



Pkt. 5c; Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 50c; 1/4 Lb. 90c; Lb. $2.75 



Copenhagen Market 



We are convinced by repeated trials 

 on our own grounds as well as reports from 

 critical growers that this first early sort is the 

 most valuable cabbage of recent introduction. 

 Our strain produces the characteristic large 

 round heads that for their solidity and ex- 

 cellent quality make this variety so valuable.

Oz. 45c; 2 Oz. 80c; 1/4 Lb. $1.25; Lb. $4.50 



Cucumbei — Improved Long Green 



The stock we offer under this name is in 

 a class by itself. The fruits are very long, 

 often twelve to fifteen inches when mature, ''™"'*'- Tooo-Ar. Orange Fleshed Rocky Ford 



and are sometimes longer. They are uniformly slender and of a beautiful dark green color. The large warts 

 and spines are well distributed over the surface instead of being clustered at one end as in inferior stocks. We 

 have given this variety especial attention for many years and we believe the stock we offer has no equal. {See 

 colored plate, page jj, and further description, page J2) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; V4 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 



Musk Melon — Admiral Togo 



This small, oval orange fleshed variety stands shipment as well as any of the green fleshed sorts and has 

 proven distinctly superior in quality. The fruits are exactly similar in size and shape to the green fleshed Netted 

 Gem or Rocky Ford and will pack eqtially well in the standard crate. Our stock is carefully bred in size and 

 shape. It is densel}' netted. The flesh is very thick. We recommend Admiral Togo to the most discrim- 

 inating buyers. {See cut, also ftaiher description, page sg) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; 'A Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 



Musk Melon — Osage or Miller's Cream 



We have developed our strain of this standard specialty until we believe it to be unequaled for very small 

 seed ca\ ity and the size and flavor of its richly colored fruits. They are of the medium to large size so de- 

 sirable for later markets and are always in demand where highly flavored salmon flesh is appreciated. The 

 variety is also one of the best for the home garden. We believ-e the seed we offer will please the most critical 

 trade. {See colored plate, page 33, and further description, page 39) Pkt. 5c;Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; Vi Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 



Water Melon — Monte Cristo or Kleckley's Sweets 



This delicious melon is unsurpassed for home use and near markets. The flesh is very bright rich red, and 

 is exceedingly sweet, crisp and tender. We offer carefully grown and selected seed of this well known variety 

 and where quality is preferred it cannot fail to give satisfaction. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; V* Lb. 2Sc; Lb. 90c; 



Water Melon — Tom Watson 



No melon has ever gained first place among shipping melons asquickly as Tom Watson. In many markets it 

 has taken in popular favor to the exclusion of all others. The sales of Tom Watson with us during the past 

 four years have shown that it has met in unparalleled degree the demand for a superior quality of shipping 

 melon. The fruits are large and long. The rind is tough, making the variety especially suitable for reaching 

 distant markets in prime condition. It is without doubt among southern growers the most popular of all 

 shippers. (See cut on this page and further description, page 40) Pkt. 5c; Oz. lOc; 2 Oz. 20c; ^^ Lb. 30c; Lb. $1.00
