Vegetables for 1939 



Bean, Ferry's Plentiful 



This new variety of our own introduction 

 won a Bronze Medal Award in the 1938 All-America 

 Selections. It is a green, flat-podded, bush bean, — 

 an improved and very productive variety of the 

 Bountiful type. The plants bear long, straight, 

 medium deep green pods somewhat larger than those 

 of Bountiful. Because the pods fill up well, the snap 

 beans are uniformly straight and attractive. They 

 are brittle and stringless and have distinctive flavor. 



While we do not claim that Plentiful is rust re- 

 sistant, plantings in various sections of the country 

 the past season have shown definite resistance to the 

 disease. 



You will like Ferry's Plentiful. It lives up to its 

 name in productiveness, and it is a delicious snap 

 bean for the table. Carton 10c; lb. Jfic 



Celery, Autumn King 



This outstanding new celery which we are offering 

 for the first time this year fills a place between the 

 early or self -blanching varieties and the late green 

 or Pascal. It is earlier and easier to blanch than 

 Pascal but has the solid, smooth stems and the same 

 high quality. Its height is 24 to 27 inches under 

 ordinary conditions; length of stems, 8 to 10 inches. 

 The plant is erect, compact, and symmetrical with 

 long, full heart. It is resistant to root rot or yellows. 



The stalks of Autumn King are an appetizing 

 clear, creamy white when fully blanched. It stores 

 well for late fall and winter use. Pkt. 25c 



Celery, Morse's Masterpiece 



Here's good news for home gardeners who appre- 

 ciate the superior quality and flavor of the late or 

 green celeries. Both characteristics are to be found 

 in this new early or self-blanching variety of our 

 introduction. 



Morse's Masterpiece matures in 80 to 90 days from 

 date of setting plants in the open, which is as early 

 as most of the self-blanching strains now in use. 

 Under ordinary conditions it grows to a height of 24 

 to 26 inches. The thick stems are 8 to 9 inches long, 

 broad with rounded edges, and almost free from 

 strings. They are crisp and fleshy and have that 

 rich, nutty flavor so highly prized. 



Morse's Masterpiece is a very satisfactory celery 

 to plant in the home garden for early use or for 

 storage. Pkt. 25c 



Lettuce, Cosberg 



A new and distinct heading lettuce which seems 

 destined to become very useful in eastern United 

 States. 



In form the plant is similar to the well-known 

 New York and Iceberg, but the color is paler, softer 

 green, and the veins more distinct. Leaves are 

 moderately blistered, somewhat crumpled, and finely 

 waved and fringed at margins. The heads are of 

 medium size but exceptionally firm, clear pale green 

 to almost white inside, and of very good texture 

 and flavor. 



Cosberg withstands heat well and seems excep- 

 tionally resistant to tip burn. It is especially adapted 

 to home garden use. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; }/i lb. 90c 



BEAN, FERRY'S PLENTIFUL 



Lettuce, Imperial No. 847 



If you live in eastern or southern United States, and have had 

 trouble getting head lettuce to "head," try this crisp heading Iceberg 

 strain. This variety produces well-rounded, firm heads of excellent 

 size and surprising solidity under conditions which usually produce 

 loose or mediocre heads in other strains. The color is medium deep 

 green. 



Imperial No. 847 has been used successfully on the West Coast for 

 several years. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 14 lb. 50c 



Pepper, Oakview Wonder 



We are offering Oakview Wonder as a new variety this year. 

 It is at least a week earlier than California Wonder and has slightly 

 smaller fruits, blockier and more symmetrical. It has the same thick 

 walls and high quality of California Wonder. 



Earliness in a pepper should be of particular interest to many home 

 gardeners. The other outstanding characteristics of Oakview Won- 

 der make it an unusually good variety for stuffing and baking whole 

 and for use in salads. Pkt. 10c; oz. il.OO
