NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES, D. M. FERRY & CO., WINDSOR, ONT. 
Emerald Gem 
, , , Admiral Togo—An Orange Fleshed Rocky Ford 
rhe home gardener who 
grows Emerald Gem can pick his melons and be sure of having them properly iced and on his table a few 
hours afterwards. He is not obliged to accept a shipping melon several days after picking. He does not have 
to take a melon that, even had it been allowed to ripen thoroughly on the vines, would fall short of a rich 
juicy Emerald Gem with its superlative sweetness of flavor. Our strain produces melons of convenient size for 
the table and of the highest quality. Plant Emerald Gem in your garden. (See further description , page 39)

MUSK MELONS 
There are two distinct ideas 
in growing Musk Melons. One 
is to produce a melon that will be 
in the highest degree sweet, juicy 
and melting. This is the home 
garden ideal. It requires for its 
perfection good soil, good seed, 
healthy plants and plenty of sun¬ 
shine. The best melon of this 
type is Emerald Gem. 
The other ideal is a melon 
whose flesh while approaching 
closely the very high quality of 
the former will also have firmness 
of fibre to insure its keeping well. 
To stand shipment it must have 
also a hard rind. Admiral Togo 
possesses in high degree all these 
characteristics and is uniform in 
size and shape. We consider it 
the best shipping melon. It is 
delicious. 
Admiral Togo—An Orange Fleshed Rocky Ford 
This is a small, oval orange fleshed variety, similar in size and shape to the green fleshed Netted Gem or 
Eocky Ford, and of most excellent quality. It stands shipment as well as any of the green fleshed sorts and 
wherever tried has been found distinctly superior in quality to any of that class. Our stock is carefully bred 
in size and shape, is densely netted, with very thick flesh, ripening clear to the skin. We believe the seed 
we ofTer will meet the demands of the most discriminating buyers. (See cut on this page and further des¬ 
cription, page 39) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c; V 4 Lb. 60c. 
Harris’ Earliest Water Melon 
After carefully observing this splendid variety in our trials for several seasons we are convinced it is the 
very best first early melon for the home garden. The fruits are slightly oval, with irregularly mottled stripes 
of light and dark green and are very even in shape and size. The flesh is bright red, sweet and tender. (See 
Cut , page 46) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; V 4 Lb. 40c. 
Tom Watson Water Melon 
The increasing demand of late for a better quality of shipping melon has been nitre to a most exceptional 
degree in the Tom Watson. The fruits are large and long. They are similar in shape, color and splendid 
quality to Monte Cristo and average larger in size. The rind is tough, making the variety especially adapted 
for shipping to distant markets. Wherever grown in the south it has become the most popular of all shippers.
