It is not ordi nary sweet corn by any means. Nor is a plump, red, smooth-skinned Ferry tomato like an ordinary to mato. Nor are the Ferry's Seeds that grow these like ordinary seeds. Remember that when you buy (3L22fc-d . pure kel I KSEEDS Ferry's purebred Seeds, you buy inherited quality. Quality is bred into the' seeds. A careful up-breeding of vegetables and flowers has been going on in the Ferry trial gardens for SI years. This means that the Ferry's Seeds you can plant today came from parent plants and grandparent plants that were them selves ' purebred. Sixty thousand tests arc made annually in the Ferry gardens for germination. Thousands of other trials are made for size, form, color, resistance to disease. So far as is humanly pos sible, wc dcterm inc that every crop will meet the Ferry standards. Ferry's Seeds arc easy for ama teurs to make grow well, and arc naturally the choice of professional gardeners. They are fresh for planting now, at the "store around the corner." No packet of Ferry's Seeds is ever carried over by the dealer for sale the second season. Send for the Ferry's Seed Annual. It is more than a catalog. Address D. M. Ferry & Co., Dept. 1 1, 500 Paul Ave., San Francisco, Calif. Your garden will have its best possible start with Ferry's purebred Seeds. (. P.
