Bolzano's Mammoth/rrizetaker Onion 



Gentlemen .— The basket of Bolgian&s Mammoth Pnzet, 

 Onions which I sent to you, isfrom the field which we grew from sled 

 this season, it produced 800 bushels of these fine Onions to the a? - 

 We planted them in rows 12 in. apart and the onions three in. fr< 

 each other in the row; we worked it entirely by hand, using no horie 

 cultivator during the season. We placed 40 loads of horse manure 

 and one ton of fertilizer to the acre Bolgiano's Seeds certainly ai\ 

 the best seeds tkal'can be secured by the most Critical Market Gardener, 

 and shippers. Your appreciative customers ,

« THAT OUR GENUINE TENEBIFFE GROWN 



I BERMUDA ONION SEEDS 



* ARE BETTER than the Bermuda Onion Seed* that some dealers 

 T are blowing so much about and malting' the Onion Growers of 

 J Texas and Florida pay extortionate prices for. Read Mr. 



f Otto LocKe's letter. Business courteousy prevents us 



• from publishing' the name of the dealer referred to.

T Dear Sirs:— Apr. 29, 1906. 



$ In reply to your valued favor of recent date, beg to say that 



1 the seed you sent us last fall was planted in October, all came up fine, and 



5 the Onions are the best we ever had from any seed, we are growing onions 

 I for 7 years, and received seed from different houses. We planted seed from 

 $ the famous — • 'j White Bermuda Onions on same land we planted your 



1 seed side by side, received even cultivation and water, and I must say that 



§ the Onions your seeds matured "6 days earlier than 's seed; the onions 



I are more regular, large and ripened all at thesametime, showing that the 



6 seed was pure and not mixed with any poor seed. I am glad to see Texas 

 \ growers send their orders to you, as you certainly deserve it. You will 

 § receive many orders from here soon. Yours truly,

specimen weighing as much as 6 lbs. 2 ozs., are some of « 



the things this handsome Globe Onion will produce. It T 



has a bright, clear, straw color, and grows a perfect globe J 



shape. Is by far the handsomest, most productive, most ■ 



profitable, and best of all Yellow Globe Onions. Large It 



Onions can always be raised in a single season directly < 



from seed. It has always brought much better prices m 



than any other Onion; in market it never fails to attract ■ 



attention on account of its beauty; on the city fruit stalls i 



it has completely taken the place of the large Spanish ^ 



Onions. The Prizetaker Onion is gifted with strong J 



drought-resisting ability, and we consider this one of its W 



great merits. People who wish to make money should • . 



plant the Prizetaker Onion; it is admitted by the most "J 



critical Onion growers to be the largest, finest flavored, J 



and most superior Kellow Globe Onion under cultivation, ff

. the strongest proof that it is the best from I 



whieh to grow the large white Onions. Its f 



dedicate, mild flavor, its stately form and 2

make it a most desirable variety for the I 



table, the most profitable for market and 1 



shipping. Plantsare of an extremely thin a 



neck and type, and sure to ripen early, j 



Bulbs are perfect in form and quite thick § 



through. They are fine-grained, crisp and I 



mild. Bulbs should be harvested as soon t 



as ripened and dried in the shade to pre- J 



serve their silvery white skin, the attract- i 



iveness of which makes them command f 



the highest market prices, and removes f 



the necessity for peeling them. 4
