PUT YOURSELF IN OUR PLACE 



Suppose you were writing this catalogue. Suppose you made 

 your living by breeding and selling seeds. What sort of home-garden 

 catalogue would you write? 



You would ask yourself how you could make the home-garden 

 a success so that next year and every year thereafter your customers 

 would return to you for the seeds they buy. We have asked ourselves 

 that question and this book is the result. 



Our interest lies in making you a better gardener. Your success 

 will be ours. We recommend varieties, new and old, that we have 

 proved to be good. We offer only 440 vegetable varieties. They are 

 the cream. When we find two or more authentic varieties each 

 intended to serve the same purpose, we try them out and list 

 only the one that is best of its class. This is true of flowers and vege- 

 tables alike. 



This book should serve you well whether you buy your seeds 

 of us or of some other good seedsman. No seedsman has a monopoly 

 of any variety except the first year it is offered. However, if you 

 buy of us you will get the introducers' strain of a great many kinds. 

 Moreover, you will get seeds that are the product of the largest and 

 best equipped seed-breeding establishment in the world. During 

 the past seventy-five years our annually increasing volume has 

 afforded us a breadth of experience unmatched among seed breeders 

 anywhere in Europe or America. 



Try Ferry's pure-bred seeds. Every variety we list can be had 

 through ''the store around the corner"; or, if you prefer you may 

 order direct by mail.
