D’VERY packet of Ferry’s Seeds comes
La from a parent plant that has proved to
be ideal! in every respect, j By ideal we
mean that the parent plant is a purebred-
true to name and type.
45 Here is a relationship that every gardener
5 + should keep in mind as he plans his garden.
* It always pays to be sure about the ancestry
of the seeds you buy. i j
At our experimental gardens we watch
our plants. The history of every one is
known. Before going to seed, undesirables
and “freaks” are weeded out. From only
those which are ideal are the seeds har-
vested. Then, to make sure, we test these
seeds to see that they do run true to the
perfect type.
Such care as this on our part invites you
to buy Ferry’s purebred Seeds with faith
that they will produce in quantity and qual-
ity. Ferry’s purebred Seeds are on sale “at
the sore around the corner.”
' Write for Ferry’s Bead Annual. It is full of
garden facts. Got it now before you plant.
