and testimonials, page 13. 
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 than in 
onions. 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill. To grow large onions from seed, 5 pounds to the acre; to grow 
small sets, 50 to 60 pounds to the acre are required. For full information for culture, storage and mar- 
keting 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.

Minnesota Globe Onions 
Seed Grown in Minnesota by Originator 
These are new true globe onions of the finest 
and most select type, so called to distinguish them 
from all other stocks of red and white globe on- 
ions, differing in earliness, productiveness, perfec- 
tion of shape and long-keeping qualities. From 
reports of customers and our trials with them, we 
believe them to be the onion of the future for the 
Northern States. 
Minnesota Globe Wethersfield Red Onion. 
Per pkt., 10c.; oz., 25c.; 4 lb., 75c.; lb., $2.75.

Not for several years have we had such a good crop of fine plump, high 
germinating onion seed as in 1909. We are, therefore, able to make 
unusually favorable prices. 
True Round Yellow Danvers 
Onion 
Our superior stock of this celebrated variety 
is of fine round shape. It grows to good size, with 
thin yellow skin, white flesh, fine grained and ex- 
cellent quality. It ripens early, keeps well and is 
very productive. This variety is catalogued by 
many seedsmen as Yellow Globe Danvers, which is 
a misnomer. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; + lb., 40c.; 1b., 
$1.40, postpaid; by express or freight, lb., $1.30; 16 
lbs. and over, $1.20 per lb. 
Southport Globe Onions 
Johnson’s Superior Connecticut-Grown Seed 
There is a marked superiority in the Eastern- 
grown types of the Globe Onions, commonly known 
as the Southport strains, over the Western-grown 
types. That our seed of these important varieties 
is from highly bred and carefully selected types is 
attested by the numerous letters we have received 
from the most critical onion growers.
