The Onion is most successfully grown in a deep, rich, loamy soil, and, unlike most vegetables^ 



does best when cultivated in the same ground for a succession of years. Trench and manure the 



ground well in fall, and turn up in ridges during the winter, and as early as the ground will work 



in spring, rake or harrc w thoroughly 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 with the back of^a 



spade or light roller. Keep the ground free from weeds, and thin out the young plants so they 



stand three or four inches apart. 



Yellow Globe Danvers— Selected Stock saved from picked bulbs. The standard variety, both 

 for market gardeners and private use. It grows very uniform in shape, is very produc- 

 tive, mild flavored, ripens early and is a splendid keeper. Of this variety we have a very 

 fine stock obtained by years of careful selection. The increasing demand for it induced 

 us to make an extra effort to give to the market gardeners a strain unsurpassed by any.

Round Yellow ; Danvers- Same as the preceding, but flatter, grows to a good size, ripens 

 early, is a first-class market sort, and as a keeper is unexcelled. This variety is better 

 than the globe-shaped for low ground. Pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 10 cts.; M lb., 25 cts.; 1 lb SO 



Large Red Globe— Matures about the same time as the Wethersfield; mild and tender. Pkt., 



5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; % lb., 40 cts.; 1 lb 1 35 



Griswold's Extra Early Red Globe — A new Onion of the well-known Southport type, matur- 

 ing as early as the Early Flat Red and Danvers. The Southport strains are much sought 

 after owing to their handsome appearance and being much heavier croppers than the flat 

 types, and the only drawback heretofore has been that they could not be relied on to 

 mature in the North before frost. This new Onion can, however, be relied upon to ripen 

 with the earliest. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 54 lb., 50 cts. ; lib 1 50 



Extra Early Flat Red— A medium-sized flat variety, producing abundantly and coming into 

 use about two weeks earlier than Red Wethersfield. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 34 lb., 40 cts.;
