It pays to plant only the best. Our Onions are saved from 

 Selected Bulbs only, and are sure to produce the best crops 

 of sound and long-keeping bulbs. We handle only choice 

 American Pedigree Stocks. 



The Onion is most successfully grown in a deep, rich, loams' 

 soil, and, unlike most vegetables, does best when cultivated in 

 the same ground for a succession of years. Manure the ground 

 well in the fall, and turn up in ridges during the winter, and 

 as early as it will work in the spring rake or harrow thor- 

 oughly, so as to get the soil fine and level. Sow thinly in 

 drills half an inch deep, twelve inches apart, and cover with 

 fine soil, pressing it down. Keep the ground free from weeds 

 and thin out the young plants so they may stand three or 

 four inches apart. 



1 oz. to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 lbs. to the acre. 

 CURRIE'S EXTRA YELLOW GLOBE ' DANVERS — The 

 Largest Cropper and best shape of any Yellow Onion at pres- 

 ent on the market. It is saved from Picked Bulbs only, which 

 for color and keeping qualities cannot be enuulled. It should 

 not be confounded with the Yellow Globe Danvers commonly 

 sold. 



In Extra Yellow Globe Danvers we have an Onion of the 

 true Globe shape, slightly flattened at the root end, with 

 a very small neck; it is a selection from Yellow Globe 

 Danvers but is an improvement in color, uniformity 

 in size and shape of bulbs, and possesses longer keeping 

 qualities than any other Yellow Onion. This we regard 

 as the best strain of Onion at present on the market.
