Long Standing Prickly. 
This is the Largest, Thickest Leaved and Best 
Seeping Spinage we have ever seen. It is very har¬ 
dy, standing the winter better than any other, and is 
equally desirable for summer planting. We think it the 
best Spinage for general use. Per packet, 5 cents; oz., 
to cents ; 2 oz., 15 cents ; lb., 20 cents ; lb., 40 cts.

** Early Red Apple. 
I This Splendid Novelty is an Extra 
^ Early Tomato, perfectly smooth, beautiful¬ 
ly colored, and ot finer quality than any 
other Early Tomato we have ever tested. The 
Tomatoes have good size and are very uniform. We 
predict that this will occupy among extra early sorts 
the place which the Optimus does for general crop, 
viz., The Very Best of its Season. 
Per packet, 10 cents ; oz., 40 cents ; 2 oz., 75 cents

Early Red Apple: Tomato. 
D. M. Ferry & Co’s Optimus. 
It is unnecessary for us to dwell on the good 
qualities of our Optimus. It is well named and 
known, — the Handsomest, Most Productive, Best. 
But we wish to remind our friends that to get the 
best Seed they must send to Head Quarters. We 
assure them we have spared no effort to keep our 
stock perfect. Per packet, 5 cents; oz., 35 cents; 
2 oz., 60 cents; % lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50. 
Golden Queen. 
The bright, clear yellow, with a faint blush 
of carmine on one side, makes this the most beau¬ 
tiful of all Tomatoes , and worth cultivating 
on that account. It is also one of the best in 
flavor. Our stock has been carefully grown and 
the blush is much better developed than when 
first sent out. Per packet, 5 cents; oz., 40 cents; 
2 oz., 75 cents; lb., $1.25; lb., $4.00. 
White Apple. 
This is the best Tomato of all to eat from the hand. Its flavor is more like that of a delicate plum than a 
tomato. Per packet, 5 cents; oz., 40 cents; 2 oz., 73 cents; % lb., $1.25.

Tomatoes for Preserving. 
} We have taken the same pains with these usually neglected kinds as 
with the larger varieties. Each of the stocks is pure and unmixed , and 
of much finer type than is usually' seen. Per packet, 5 cents; oz., 30 
cents; 2 oz., 55 cents; lb., §1.00; lb., $3.00. 
This is incomparably the best variety for forcing. 
It is extremely early and very compact in growth. It is 
hardy, and so one of the very best for early planting 
out of doors. It matures the quickest of any. The 
bulbs are very handsome , and the flesh excellent. Owing 
to the shortage in crop this year there will be a strong 
temptation to dealers to substitute inferior varieties. We 
have been fortunate in securing a large supply ^rown 
from selected bulbs, and can send out the best seed in the 
country. Per packet, 5 cents; oz., 10 cents; 2 oz., 15 
cents; lb., 25 cents; lb., 80 cents.
