YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS.—Of good size, globular form, 
very thick bulb, with small neck. Very choice, well flavored, rath- 
er mild and very early. In many markets it will find ready sale at 
much higher prices than any other variety. Frequently produces 
600 bushels and more per acre from seed, the first year, and for relia- 
bility in bottoming itis unsurpassed. After Maule’s Prizetaker, it 
s is the best of all yellow onions. I only list the one variety, as I have 
s but one strain of Danvers Onion, and that the best Globe. For my 
art I cannot see the distinction between Globe Danvers and Roun@ 
anvers, unless it be in the quality of the seed, and I have no second 
grade of anything in this book. The best is what I find my trade al- 
| ways desires, and that is what they get. Packet, 5 cents, ounce, 
15cents; 4% pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.25. 
MAULE’S WETHERSFIELD.—There are many strains of 
this justly celebrated onion offered, but none that can surpass 
= Maule’s famous stock of this popular variety. Growing to large 
size, 1 to 2 pound onions from seed the first year are of frequent oc- 
4 currence. The $50.00 prize offered in 1887 for the heaviest was secured 
by one of my customers for a specimen weighing 24% pounds. It 
grows with unusual regularity, scallions being almost unknown. 
600 to 800 bushels have frequently been raised on a single acre; and 
in i888, in competition for the $250 prize, several of my customers produced 
even a larger quantity, the premium being finally secured by Randolph By- 
ers, of Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo Co., Cal., he having raised the enor- 
mous quantity of 66,905 pounds of marketable onions on one acre of ground. 
The shape is well shown in illustration. In color the skin is deep purplish 
» red and the fiesh white. Moderately grained and of a good strong flavor, 
Sit isa magnificent keeper. Maule’s Red Wethersfield is unquestionably 
the king of all red onions, as Prizetaker is the king of all yellow an@ 
Silver King the king of all white. 
50,000 of my customers unanimously endorse it as the best 
they have ever sown. I trust no onion grower receiv- 
ing this catalogue will fail to try at least a smalk 
quantity of Maule’s Red Wethersfield, for alb 
S ought to know just how superior it is. 
Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 
14 pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.35.
