J N calling attention to the following NO\ ELTIESand other varieties of exceptional value, we 
wish to say that while many of them are now offered for the first time, in no instance do we 
list them simply because they are new and distinct. The few new varieties we offer are 
selected from hundreds presented to us as new and improved sorts, which we have tested 
within the past year. No variety ever finds a place in our^ist until we are satisfied that in some 
important points it is superior to anything we have, and it is for this reason that some loudly 
praised and widely advertised kinds have no place in our. Seed Annual. 
We ha\ e spared no pains to secure a sample of every promising sort and to test it thoroughly 
) comparison with others. If satisfied of its value we have procured the best stock available, 
regar ess o cost. \\ e are likewise expending much time and money in developing improved 
s lants o standard sorts. As a result we have in many instances secured stocks which are as 
distinct an improvement as many of the kinds offered as new. We are confident that everything 
in the following list is the best representative of its kind and that a collection of vegetables and 
flowers selected from it can not be surpassed. 
Ferry’s Early Puritan. 
(See Description on Page 24.) 
We offer this new variety, being convinced from our trials of it, that it is the most 
valuable variety of Cauliflower yet produced either for the 
market or private garden.
