Too much cannot be said in favor of this variety. It is remarkably even and uniform 

 in growth, a sure cropper, and of a size to suit the most fastidious cultivator. The fiesh

 spring. Per poun d, 75 cents; ounce, 10 cents; packet, 5 cents. 



HOME-GROW^N 



ONION SEED. 



In 1892, much more Onion Seed was 

 raised in California than could be disposed 

 of last season. The surplus is on the mar- 

 ket this year. We need not point out the 

 risk of using such seed.
