NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES, D. M. FERRY & CO., DETROIT, MICH. 
Watermelon— 
Tom Watson 
Unquestionably the most 
popular shipping melon. The 
fruits are large and long. The 
rind is tough. The flesh is rich 
red, sweet and tender. In many 
large markets the Tom Watson 
is without a rival. It supplies 
the demand completely for a 
melon of superior quality that 
will also ship well. (See cut on

Watermelon, Tom Watson 
Cabbage—Dwarf White Summer 
A new second early variety of distinctive merit. Heads medium to large, round or nearly so, very solid 
and heavy. Interior color of head remarkably white and of fine flavor and texture. Plants vigoro'us growing 
but very uniform in type and are quite short stemmed. Leaves light green in color, comparatively short and 
broad. An excellent sort for the home garden as it is a sure header and stays in condition for use a long time. 
Also recommended as a valuable addition to the list of kraut varieties. (See further description paze ?.?)

Radish—Early Scarlet Turnip, White Tipped 
One of the best early radishes for the home garden and a great favorite in large markets for early planting 
outdoors. The roots are nearly round, slightly flattened on the underside. The color is very bright, deep rose- 
carmine scarlet with a distinctly white tip. The flesh is white and of the best quality. The stock we offer is 
exceptionally attractive in its splendid coloring. The 
scarlet is unusually deep and affords a distinct contrast 
with the large, clear white tip. ( See cut and further descrip¬ 
tion, page 57) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; Va Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 
Radish—Icicle 
An excellent white variety with tong, very smooth, 
clear white roots which are very crisp and tender. When 
mature the roots are four to five inches long but are ready 
for use when about half that size. 
One of the most desirable varieties for the home garden, 
furnishing roots that are usable almost as soon as the early 
turnip rooted sorts. (See cut on this page and further 
description t page 68) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; Va Lb. 40c;

Squash—Delicious 
The increased demand for this squash shows conclti- 
sively that its high quality has become 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. Although not 
very thick the shell is hard and strong. 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 62)

Tomato—Early Detroit 
We are convinced that our strain of Early Detroit is 
the best early purplish pink tomato for shipping. The 
variety as offered by us has met the exacting requirements 
of this most critical class of trade, especially of southern 
growers who supply the early markets of the north. Early 
Detroit is not only the most productive 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 in¬ 
troduction by us in 1909 w^ have given the variety par¬ 
ticular attention, and the seed we offer is of very superior 
quality. (See cut and further description , page 63)
