CABBAGE 



FERRY'S HOLLANDER By eliminating the defects which we 

 found in ordinary strains of Danish Ball Head and select- 

 ing for the more desirable features, we are able to offer a 

 strain of late cabbage that has no equal. Round heads 

 about six inches in diameter are borne on stems four to 

 five inches in length. When set out early in July the plants 

 reach maturity late in September and the heads remain in 

 perfect condition until cold weather makes harvesting 

 necessary. If pitted or stored in a cold cellar at a tempera- 

 ture a little above freezing, they will keep perfectly 

 throughout the winter and furnish a supply of prime 

 cabbage whenever wanted. We have taken heads from 

 storage on May first that were practically as fresh and 

 crisp as when stored the previous November. 



Although smaller than other late varieties the head is 

 so sohd that it weighs seven to nine pounds. The interior 

 of the head is white, and the flavor is mild and sweet. Try 

 this for late fall use and winter keeping.

CARROT 



RED CORED CHANTENAY The first time you pull this 

 carrot you will want to eat it then and there. The deep 

 orange-red color and smooth symmetrical shape are com- 

 bined with just the right size to make it irresistibly appe- 

 tizing. Its beauty is not merely skin deep; it goes clear 

 through to the very center and the interior is even more 

 tempting than the outside. The yellow ring which is 

 usually found around the core of carrots has been bred 

 out of Red Cored Chantenay, and in the breeding a sweeter, 

 richer flavor has been acquired. This flavor alone is enough 

 to establish its superiority, and when combined with the 

 crisp, tender quahty and deep color of the flesh a new treat 

 is furnished for those who appreciate the healthful and high 

 nutriment value of carrots.

CELERY 



FLORIDA GOLDEN This new variety has most of the 

 characteristics of Golden Plume or Wonderful, but it has 

 greater height and weight of plant, and the edible portion 

 of the stem is larger. The stems are broad, thick and solid; 

 the plants are full hearted and very compact. On accoimt 

 of the even diameter of the plants they are especially 

 adapted to packing in crates. Florida Golden has been 

 bred for long standing quality and freedom from bolting 

 and shows less tendency than other strains to produce pre- 

 mature seed stalks. The hearts blanch to a rich cream color 

 of exceptionally fine quality and flavor. The stems are 

 crisp and free from strings. Florida Golden will fill the 

 needs of shippers, market growers, and home gardeners, 

 and will be in great demand by consumers.

GOLDEN DETROIT This is a pure line selection of the 

 Dwarf Golden Self Blanching tj'pe which emphasizes the 

 good points of that variety and eliminates the faults. The 

 plants are heavy, very compact, and full hearted. The stems 

 are broad, very thick, and roimded at the edges, and the 

 edible portion is 7 to 8 inches long. The stems are free from 

 strings and blanch easily to an attractive deep clear 

 j'ellow. The hearts are full and crisp, and the heart leaves 

 blanch evenly to a deep golden yellow entirely free from 

 green. The flavor is excellent, and the thoroughly high 

 quality of the variety will make Golden Detroit a great 

 favorite with market growers, shippers, home gardeners and 

 consumers.

MUSK MELON 



GOLDEN CHAMP LA IN This new orange fleshed variety is 

 remarkably early, ripening its fruits in 75 daj's from date of 

 planting. Our 1931 trials were planted June 2, and the 

 vines bore ripe melons on August 15. They are of medium 

 size, just right for serving in halves. They are plump- 

 rounded in shape, slightly ribbed, and covered with shallow 

 open netting. The flesh is deep orange salmon, juicy, and 

 very sweet. It ripens clear out to the rind, and as the melons 

 mature the orange color shows through the netting so that 

 there is no difficulty in telling when the fruits are ready 

 to pick. 



Golden Champlain wUl prove very desirable for home 

 gardeners' use in sections where the growing season is 

 short, and for market gardeners everywhere who grow for 

 nearby markets.
