This is a strain origi- 
nally selected from Yel- 
low Globe Danvers, and 
perfected by careful 
breeding. Its table and 
Market qualities are 
the same as those of its 
arent. It differs from 
ellow Globe Danvers 
mainly in shape, being 
more flattened. The 
claim is made for it that 
it ripens more surely in 
moist situations than 
the globe-shaped sorts, 
and that it is a little 
earlier. It is certainly 
a@ first-class onion in 
yield, flavor and keep- 
ing qualities. Pkt., 10

| has long been consid- 
ered one of the best of 
Globe onions. It is of 
handsome, bright, even 
yellow color, with small 
neck. Ripens early and 
all at once; the firm, 
solid bulbs areexcellent 
winter keepers. It is re- || 
ported that 800 bushels 
of Ohio Yellow Globe |

on asingle acre of good 
land. It is especially 
recommended for heavy

larly choice this season.
