AILSA CRAIG ONION 



The targ'e, nearly ^lobe-shaped onions, with thin skjn of bright yellow color, 

 are of immense size, measuring from twelve to eighteen inches in circumference. 

 while under special cultivation specimen bulbs have been raised to weigh from 

 three to five pounds each. They ripen up hard and fine, and present the hand- 

 somest possible appearance ; the flesh is pure white, fine grained, mild and 

 delicate in flavor ; excellent for fall and early winter. 



The constant re selection of pedigree stock of Ailsa Craig has resulted in a 

 marked improvement both in size and form. Until a few years ago the best 

 sto<^s of Ailsa Craig were frequently more flat than round or oval in shape, but 

 the strain we now offer is unrivalled for perfection of form combined with size 

 and weight. 



In competition with all other varieties Ailsa Craig has won a series of import- 

 ant prizes m England absolutely without a parallel. Price, pkt. lOc., oz. 30c., 

 i lb. $L00.
