NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES, D. M. FERRY & CO., DETROIT, MICH 
Cabbage—Early Jersey Wakefield 
This standard variety as offered by us 
maintains its reputation as the earliest and 
surest heading of the first early cabbages for 
market gardening trade. Our stock, grown 
and selected with great care, is of first 
quality. (See further description , page 22)

Copenhagen Market 
We are convinced by repeated trials 
on our own grounds as well as reports from 
critical growers that this first early sort is the 
most valuable cabbage of recent introduction. 
Our strain produces the characteristic large 
round heads that for their solidity and ex¬ 
cellent quality make this variety so valuable.

Oz. 45c; 2 Oz. 80c; Va Lb. $1.25; Lb. $4.50 
Cucumber—Improved Long Green 
The stock we offer under this name is in 
a class by itself. The fruits are very long, 
often twelve to fifteen inches when mature, 
and are sometimes longer. They are uniformly slender and of a beautiful dark green color. The large warts 
and spines are well distributed over the surface instead of being clustered at one end as in inferior stocks. We 
have given this variety especial attention for many years and we believe the stock we offer has no equal. (See 
colored plate , page 33 } and further description , page 32 ) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; Va Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 
Musk Melon—Admiral Togo 
This small, oval orange fleshed variety stands shipment as well as any of the green fleshed sorts and has 
proven distinctly superior in quality. The fruits are exactly similar in size and shape to the green fleshed Netted 
Gem or Rocky Ford and will pack equally well in the standard crate. Our stock is carefully bred in size and 
shape. It is densely netted. The flesh is very thick. We recommend Admiral Togo to the most discrim¬ 
inating buyers. (See cuf also further description , page 39) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; % Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 
Musk Melon—Osage or Miller’s Cream 
We have developed our strain of this standard specialty until we believe it to be unequaled for very small 
seed cavity and the size and flavor of its richly colored fruits. They are of the medium to large size so de¬ 
sirable for later markets and are always in demand where highly flavored salmon flesh is appreciated. The 
variety is also one of the best for the home garden. We believe the seed we offer will please the most critical 
trade. (See colored plate , page 33, and further description , page 39) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; Va Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 
Water Melon—Monte Cristo or Kleckley’s Sweets 
This delicious melon is unsurpassed for home use and near markets. The flesh is very bright rich red, and 
is exceedingly sweet, crisp and tender. We offer carefully grown and selected seed of this well known variety 
and where quality is preferred it cannot fail to give satisfaction. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; Va Lb. 25c; Lb. 90c; 
Water Melon—Tom Watson 
No melon has ever gained first place among shipping melons as quickly as Tom Watson. In many markets it 
has taken in popular favor to the exclusion of all others. The sales of Tom Watson with us during the past 
four years have shown that it has met in unparalleled degree the demand for a superior quality of shipping 
melon. The fruits are large and long. The rind is tough, making the variety especially suitable for reaching 
distant markets in prime condition. It is without doubt among southern growers the most popular of all 
shippers. (See cut on this page and further description , page 40) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 20c; Va Lb. 30c; Lb. $ 1.00
