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



Squash — Mammoth White Bush Scallop 



The handsomest of the summer squashes for 

 the early market and the home garden. Our strain 

 produces fruits of largest size, distinctly scalloped 

 and somewhat flattened in shape. The fruits are 

 uniformly warted and a beautiful, clear waxy white, 

 instead of the yellowish white so often seen in the 

 old Early White Bush Scallop. The stock we offer 

 is exceptionally true to type. {See cut on this page ^

Peas — Laxton's Superb 



An early dwarf variety of the Laxtonian type. 

 Vines fifteen to eighteen inches high, vigorous and 

 very productive. Foliage light yellowish green. 

 Pods large, rather broad, slightly curved and of 

 medium dark green color. It is hardy and can be 

 sown very early; the seed being semi -wrinkled is not 

 as likely to rot during unfavorable weather condi- 

 tions as the fully wrinkled sorts. Recommended as 

 an excellent sort for the home and market garden.

Peas — Connoisseur 



A second early sort of medium height. Vines 

 two and one-half to three feet high, of robust habit 

 and very productive. The pods which are abundant- 

 ly produced are of good size, very attractive dark 

 green color and are well filled with seven to nine peas of exceptionally good quality. A very desirable sort for 

 the home garden on accoimt of its excellent quality. Its productiveness and fine dark color recommend it to 

 market gardeners. Seed medium size, light green, semi-wrinkled, pkt. I5c; Lb. 60c; 2 Lbs. $1,10 postpaid; 100 Lbs. $40.00 



Tomato — ^John Baer 



An extra early scarlet fruited variety of superior merit. Although its first pickings are not equal to those 

 of Earliana, the later pickings of John Baer show that it averages the largest of the extra early sorts, as well as 

 being most attractive in color. Not only is this one of the very earliest to ripen its first fruits, but it continues 

 to furnish marketable fruits much longer than other very early varieties. The vines are hardy, exceptionally 

 vigorous, and show less tendency to blight than other varieties of this class. An invaluable variety for market 

 gardeners, and the best extra early^ shipping sort. Also recommended as a most desirable early variety for 

 canners. {See cut and further description, page 62) pkt. Sc; Oz. 85c; 2 Oz. $1.35; V4 Lb. $2.25; Lb. $8.00 



Cauliflower^ — Elarly Snowball 



Our strain of this variety is unquestionably the earliest maturing of the true short leaved Snowball type 

 of cauliflower. It will produce a very high percentage of large, well formed heads and in this respect we 

 believe it to be unsurpassed by any offered elsewhere. The plants are compact, with few short outside leaves 

 and are well suited for close planting. The heads are of medium to large size, solid, compact, round and 

 very white and curd like. Admirably adapted for forcing or wintering over for early crop, also one of the 

 best sorts for late summer and fall crop. Early Snowball is, moreover, a most desirable soft for the home garden*.
