ONION SEED. 



We desire to call the attention of Maeket Gardeners to our fine stocks of all the lead- 

 ing varieties of ONION, and the inducements here offered to purchasers of five, ten and 

 twenty pound lots. We would state, that the seed offered is of the crop of 1881, grown 

 from selected hulbs, and has been fully tested by us as to its germinating properties. 

 From the great care we have taken with this article, we know it will be certain to give the 

 same general satisfaction as other specialties with which we have become identified.

Special Prizes for Best Vegetables. 



Several years ago we offered money premiums for best specimens of Vegetables grown 

 from seed purchased of us, which excited keen competition. This year we are induced 

 to again submit a list on a more comprehensive scale, subject to the following conditions : 

 All Fruits or Vegetables for competition, to be grown from seed purchased directly from 

 us. the specimens to be correctly labeled, with raiser's name and address, and delivered, all 

 transportation charges prepaid, at our store,~35 Cortlandt Street, New York, on or before 

 November 10, 1882. It wili of course be understood that specimens are to be sent in 

 throughout the season, as the various Vegetables mature, and we only specify Nov. 10th, as 

 putting a limit beyond which we cannot receive entries. Those intending to compete, 

 whether they order seed by mail or in person at our store, will please to so state at the time 

 of ordering, so as to place beyond question the fact that they bought the seed for this com- 

 petition.
