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



Celery — Columbia 



No better celery has ever been produced than 

 our strain of Columbia. It is earlj' maturing. The 

 plants are stocky and heavy, and when well grown 

 the heart blanches to a very attractive light gold- 

 en yellow. Columbia has no superior in beauty 

 of golden shading, solidity and size of stalk. In 

 rich nutty flavor we have found it unsurpassed. 

 The variety is not only very desirable for the 

 private garden but is well suited for the home 

 market. Try it and be convinced. {See ad on 

 this paoe and further description, page 2j')

Celery — Golden Yellow Self Blanching 



This is the standard variety that is grown 

 much more extensively than any other sort for 

 early use. Our stock has been very carefully se- 

 lected and grown. There is none better. (See 

 cut and further description, page 2j) Pkt. 5c; 

 •4 Oz. 50c; Vj. Oz. 90c; Oz. $1.65; 2 Oz. $2.85; V4 Lb. $5.25; 

 Lb. $20.00 



Radish — Half Long Black Winter 



The roots are grayish black, and are inter- 

 mediate in shape between the Round and the 

 Long Black Spanish. The flesh is white, very 

 compact, pungent and well flavored. We have 

 given this variety special attention and consider it 

 the best of its class. We offer a superior stock. 

 Pkt. 5c; Oz. lOc; 2 Oz. 15c; Vi Lb. 25c; Lb. 80c. 



Squash — Delicious 



The increased demand for this squash shows 

 conclusively that its high quality is becoming more 

 generally known and appreciated. Many prefer 

 it to Hubbard, so long regarded as the standard of 

 excellence. Delicious is a fall and winter squash 

 of medium size. The fruits are moderately hard, 

 usuall}' dark green and are without an}^ hard shell. 

 The flesh is bright yellow, thick, very fine grained 

 and of most excellent flavor. We believe the seed 

 we offer is equal to the best obtainable. (See cut 

 and further description, page ss) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 

 2 Oz. 25c; 1/4 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 



Early Detroit Tomato 



Columbia Celery 



Tomato — Earliana 



Our strain of this first early sort is earlier and 

 decidedly superior to much that is sold as Sparks' 

 Earliana, and the extreme earliness of its large, 

 smooth fruits makes it a very profitable tomato 

 for market gardeners. The vines are small but 

 vigorous and productive. The fruits are bright 

 deep scarlet, medium to large, nearly round and 

 are exceptionally smooth for so early a variety. 

 We consider this by far the best first early scarlet 

 tomato. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 55c; "4 Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00 



Tomato — Early Detroit 



Early Detroit has been thoroughly tried as a 

 shipping sort during the past six years and has 

 been found to meet the most exacting require- 

 ments. The variety is not only the most pro- 

 ductive of the purplish pink tomatoes for the early 

 market, but in uniformity and size of fruit, freedom 

 from cracking and from tendency to blight it 

 leads all others of its class. It continues better 

 than any other market sort with which we are 

 acquainted to give large smooth fruits to the end 

 of its season. It is also a desirable tomato for the 

 home garden. Since its introduction by us in 

 1909 we have given the variety particular attention 

 and the seed we offer is of very superior quality.
