There is no vegetable in which the quality of the seed exerts a greater influence upon the crop 

 than in onions. Our stock is all grown from choice bulbs, selected by hand, and is unsurpassed in this 

 country. During our whole business career as seedsmen, it has always been our aim to make quality a 

 first consideration, price afterwards, and in no one crop have we met with greater reward for our efforts 

 than in onions, the demand for our seed having increased so rapidly that we have been obliged to 

 largely increase our facilities for growing every year for several years past. 



PHILADELPHIA. GROWN SEED, or that raised in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania, is 

 " unquestionably earlier than New England seed, and still earlier compared with Western seed. This 

 is an important feature, as the early market onions always bring the highest prices. The growth con- 

 clnsively proves our claim, the Philadelphia seed making bulbs of better quality for keeping or imme- 

 diate use, either as sets or full-sized onions, long before seed from any other locality. Large, full-sized 

 onions can be grown from our seed the first season in any section of the United States, North or South. 



One ounce will sow one hundred feet of drill. To grow large onions from seed, five pounds to the 

 acre ; to grow small sets, fiftj' to sixty pounds to the acre are required. For full information for culture, 

 storage and marketing onions and onion sets, see our New Leaflet-Essays on this subject, which will 

 be sent free with all orders for onion seed, when requested.
