NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES, D. M. FERRY & CO., DETROIT, MICH. 
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 gold¬ 
en 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 on 
this page and further description , page 27)

Celery—Golden Yellow Self Blanching 
This is the standard variety that is grown 
much more extensively than any other sort for 
early use. Our stock has been very carefully se¬ 
lected and grown. There is none better. (See

Radish~~Half Long Black Winter 
The roots are grayish black, and are inter¬ 
mediate in shape between the Round and the 
Long Black Spanish. The flesh is white, very 
compact, pungent and well flavored. We have 
given this variety special attention and consider it 
the best of its class. We offer a superior stock. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; >/ 4 Lb. 25c; Lb. 80c. 
Squash—Delicious 
The increased demand for this squash shows 
conclusively that its high quality is becoming more 
generally known and appreciated. Many prefer 
it to Hubbard, so long regarded as the standard of 
excellence. Delicious is a fall and winter squash 
of medium size. The fruits are moderately hard, 
usually dark green and are without any hard shell. 
The flesh is bright yellow, thick, very fine grained 
and of most excellent flavor. We believe the seed 
we offer is equal to the best obtainable. (See cut 
and further description , page 55) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 
2 Oz. 25c; y 4 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 
Columbia Celery 
Tomato—Earliana 
Our strain of this first early sort is earlier and 
decidedly superior to much that is sold as Sparks’ 
Earliana, and the extreme earliness of its large, 
smooth fruits makes it a very profitable tomato 
for market gardeners. The vines are small but 
vigorous and productive. The fruits are bright 
deep scarlet, medium to large, nearly round and 
are exceptionally smooth for so early a variety. 
We consider this by far the best first early scarlet 
tomato. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 55c; 14 Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00 
Tomato—Early Detroit 
Early Detroit has been thoroughly tried as a 
shipping sort during the past six years and has 
been found to meet the most exacting require¬ 
ments. The variety is not only the most pro¬ 
ductive of the purplish pink tomatoes for the early 
market, but in uniformity and size of fruit, freedom 
from cracking and from tendency to blight it 
leads all others of its class. It continues better 
than any other market sort with which we are 
acquainted to give large smooth fruits to the end 
of its season. It is also a desirable tomato for the 
home garden. Since its introduction by us in 
1909 we have given the variety particular attention 
and the seed we offer is of very superior quality.
