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



Carrot — Chantenay 



This medium early, half long variety is undoubtedly the best carrot for home or market garden. The 

 mature roots are thick, five and a half to six inches in length and are uniformly half long or stump rooted^ but 

 somewhat tapering. 



The flesh is crisp and tender and of a deep rich orange color. The variety is largely used by market gardeners 

 on account of its excellent bunching qualities. 



For trueness to type in shape, size and time of maturity our stocks of this variety are imsurpassed. (See

Celery — Golden Yellow Self Blanching 



Special attention is called to tliis sort, not only because it is one of the most desirable varieties for either 

 the home or the market garden, but because we believe that the seed we offer is the very best that skill can 

 produce. It has been carefully grown by experienced cultivators and every care has been taken to secure seed 

 of the highest quality. We recommend this variety and particularly our stock of it as capable of giving results 

 satisfying to the most critical trade. We offer only seed that has been proven on our own Trial Grounds. {See 

 further description, page 35) Pkt. 10c; 3^ Oz. 50c; Oz. 85c; 2 Oz. $1.35; 14 Lb. $2.25; Lb. $8.00 



Celery— Columbia 



No better celery has ever been produced than our strain of Columbia. It is early maturing. The plants 

 are stocky and heavy, and when well grown the heart blanches to a very attractive light golden 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 cut and further description, page 35) pkt, 10c; O2. 50c;

Peas — Thomas Laxton 



This variety is recommended as one of the most satisfactory 

 for either the home or market garden. It combines earliness, pro- 

 ductiveness and excellent quality in a measure unsurpassed by 

 any other sort. 



The vines, although only of medium height, averaging about 

 four feet, are very productive and produce early in the season an 

 abimdance of large, square ended pods which are uniformly well 

 filled with peas of the finest flavor. The stock we offer is of choice 

 quaHty. {See colored plate on opposite page and further description,

Corn — Alpha 



The earliest sweet corn. Matures a week to ten days ahead of 

 Mammoth White Cory. 



For many years we have been seeking a variety of sweet corn 

 that would be earlier than Mammoth White Cory and still produce 

 ears of fair size and good quality. Of the many varieties and strains 

 which have come under our observation both at our Experimental Gar- 

 den and in field crops Alpha stands out pre-eminently in meeting these 

 requirements. 



The ears average six to seven inches long, are uniformly eight 

 rowed, fully equal in quality to Mammoth White Cory with skin a 

 trifle more tender. The stalks are very uniform in height averaging 

 about four feet. Ears are set low and close to the stalks. 



For the market grower who reaps an extra profit by getting his 

 produce on the market ahead of his competitors this will be a money- 

 maker; for the home gardener it will produce desirable ears for the 

 table a week ahead of the next earliest variety. {For further descrip- 

 tion, see page 37) Pkt. ISc; Lb. 45c; 2 Lbs. 80c. postpaid; 100 Lbs. $30.00 



Corn— Charlevoix 



(Pronounced Shar-le-voy) 



The many favorable reports we have had on this variety confirm 

 our opinion that it is the best yellow grained sweet corn yet intro- 

 duced. The ears are about seven inches long, usually twelve rowed, 

 and when in condition for use are deep creamy yellow in color. The 

 grain is rather short, very sweet and tender and is unsurpassed in 

 quahty. ^ In season it is about the same as Early Minnesota but 

 remains in condition for use longer than most of the • early or inter- 

 mediate sorts. An excellent sort both for the home and market garden. 



We recommend a trial of this variety; you are sure to be pleased 

 with it. {See cut and further description, page 37) Pkt. I5c; Lb. 30c; 

 2 Lbs. SOc. postpaid; 100 Lbs. $17.00
