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



Early Detroit Tomato 



There -lias been considerable demand in recent years 

 for a tomato similar to Beauty but earlier maturing. We 

 have had in trial each year many tomato novelties for 

 which much has been claimed but in several important 

 particulars none has equalled the Early Detroit. The 

 vine is more vigorous than that of Acme or Essex Hybrid 

 and is more productive. Not only are more fruits pro- 

 duced but they average more nearly globe shaped, are 

 heavier and are equally as firm, smooth and suitable 

 for shipping. The fruits are of good size throughout the 

 season, which is unusually long for so early a variety. 

 We are confident that this rare combination of very de- 

 sirable features will soon bring Early Detroit into 

 general prominence as the best tomato of its class.
