 ■ ■■■ah.fc. ■ r»«*B-»« some jn S u a p e . Tne Mildest in Flavor. 



Our Pure American-Grown Stock of this is the largest 

 and handsomest Onion we have ever grown, eclipsing 

 in size and appearance the most wonderful of the Span- 

 ish and Italian varieties, many of the bulbs weighing 

 from 3 to 3% lbs. each. The skin is a rich golden 

 color, while the flesh is white, and so mild and sweet 

 that is may be eaten raw like an apple. This variety 

 takes a leading place among the many valuable sorts 

 in general use, and we have no doubt will at all times 

 command ready sales. For many years this Onion has 

 been imported in large quantities and sold in many 

 of the first-class grocery stores throughout the coun- 

 try at a very high price, so that its good qualities are 

 well known to many in this as well as other sections.
