GARLIC. 



Our pure American-grown stock of this is the largest and handsomest Onion we have ever grown, 

 eclipsing in size and appearance the most wonderful of the Spanish and Italian varieties, many 

 of the bulbs weighing trom 3 to Z% lbs. each. The skin is a rich golden color, while the flesh is 

 white, and so mild and sweet that it may be eaten raw like an apple. This variety will take a 

 leading place among the many valuable sorts now in general use, and we have no doubt will at 

 all times command ready sales. For many years this Onion has been imported in large quan- 

 tities and sold in many of the first-class grocery si ores throughout the country at a very high 

 price, so that its good qualities are well known to many in this as well as other sections. Pkt.,
