Size. The most Hand- 

 The Mildest in Flavor. 



Our Pure American-Grown Stock of this is the largest and hand- 

 somest Onion we have ever grown, eclipsing in size and ap- 

 pearance the most -wonderful of the Spanish and Italian varie- 

 ties, many of the bulbs weighing from 3 to 3% 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 takes a leading place among the many valuable sorts 

 in general use, and we have no doubt will at all times com- 

 mand ready sales. For many years this Onion has been im- 

 ported in large quantities and sold in many of the first-class 

 grocery stores 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. 5c; oz. 15c; 2 ozs. 25c; % lb. 40c; 1 lb
