The Onion is most successfully grown in a deep, rich, loamy soil, and, unlike most vegeta- 

 bles, 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 harrow 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. 



EXTRA YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS. 



The largest cropper and best shaped of any yellow Onion at present on the 

 market. It is saved only from picked bulbs, which for color and keeping 

 qualities cannot be equaled. It should not be confounded with the Yellow 

 Globe Danvers commonly sold. 



In Extra Yellow Globe Danvers we have obtained an Onion of the true Globe shape, slightly 

 flattened at the root end and with a very small neck; it is a selection from Yellow Globe 

 Danvers, but is an improvement in color, uniformity of 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. Pkt.,5cts.; oz.,15cts.; J4 lb., 35cts.; lib. $1.15
