NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES, D. M. FERRY & CO., DETROIT, MICH. 
TWO SELECTED CELERY SPECIALTIES 
Columbia 
No better Celery has ever been 
produced than our strain of this 
sterling variety which was intro¬ 
duced by us- in 1906. Those who 
know Celery at its best, gardeners 
who get the highest price for their 
product and connoisseurs who pre¬ 
fer to go without rather than eat 
Celery of inferior quality, have long 
recognized our strain of Golden 
Self Blanching as without a superior. 
To this discriminating clientage we 
commend our strain of Columbia as 
being the peer of Golden Self 
Blanching. It comes into use only a 
trifle later and is very vigorous and 
hardy. In beauty of golden color 
and solidity and si/.e of stalk it is un¬ 
surpassed. In delicacy of flavor 
Columbia is considered by many to 
surpass Golden Self Blanching. Try 
our strain of Columbia. We consider 
it the very best variety for the home 
garden. (Set; cut on this page and

Golden Yellow Self 
Blanching 
This standard variety is the one 
grown much more extensively than 
any other sort for early use. Our 
stock has been very carefully selected 
and grown. It is the very best ob¬ 
tainable. (See cut and further des¬

Copenhagen Maijtet 
Cabbage 
The earliest large round-headed 
cabbage yet introduced. The heads 
are of exceptionally large si/.e for so 
early a variety. The plant is of vig¬ 
orous habit but compact, with 
short stem and few outer leaves 
which are of rather upright growth. 
The leaves are medium light green, 
nearly round, comparatively thick 
and smooth. The heads are round, 
very solid and of exceptionally good 
quality. Its earliness, compact 
growth, evenness of maturing, uni¬ 
formity and size of head, firmness 
and most excellent quality combine to make Copenhagen Market the most valuable cabbage of recent intro¬ 
duction. We recommend it unreservedly both for the home garden aud the market gardening trade. (See

Columbia Celery 
May King Lettuce 
We are convinced by many trials of American and European lettuces that May King is the best extremely 
early heading sort yet introduced. Grown under glass this variety matures a handsome, light green head 
fully as early as any of the strictly forcing sorts which are generally, however, practically worthless for out¬ 
door culture. Grown outdoors May King can be depended upon as the earliest of all to form a marketable 
head. Plant very compact for so large a head. Among extra early sorts it is unsurpassed in quality and we 
have no hesitation in recommending it for forcing under glass and as the best extra early sort for growing 
out of doors. (See further description, page 36) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c; Vi Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.75 
Giant Crimson Pepper 
The earliest maturing and most productive very large sweet pepper. The plant is vigorous and upright, 
growing two and one-half to three feet high, larger than that of Chinese Giant and more productive. The 
fruits are rich deep crimson when mature. The flesh is very mild and exceptionally thicx. We consider 
Giant Crimson the most desirable very large pepper yet introduced. (See cut and further description, page gf)
