32 
EIGHTY YEARS OF GROWING 
BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE ON THE 
IDEALS OF THE PAST 
I T HAS been said that an institution is but the lengthened shadow of one man. The same 
principles rigidly established by D. M. Ferry and C. C. Morse in the founding of their 
respective businesses are as rigidly followed today. The same conviction that a seed 
business to be successful must be built on confidence is continued. Men working for Ferry- 
Morse have the same zeal for accomplishment with which their predecessors of those early 
days were imbued. 
In only one respect has there been a change. Ferry-Morse Seed Co. have the combined 
equipment and facilities of two large firms and the benefit of eighty years’ experience. They are 
equipped to meet every possible gardening need and trend.
