" Philadelphia-grown onion sets " are every where recognized as the best. Experienced gardeners 

 insist upon having them, and enormous quantities are supplied annuall}- to dealers and growers in all 

 parts of the country. We grow each season large quantities from our Philadelphia seed, which, being 

 earlier, makes sets of better quality than that grown in any other section. 



We shall be glad to quote special prices, by the bushel or barrel (3 bushels), at any time, when 

 requested. For list of varieties, see page 50. Onion sets can be shipped any time during the Winter, 

 but should be spread out in a cool, dry place after received until planting time.

The best evidence that the onion bulbs we set out for seed were carefullj- selected for size, sound condition 

 and strong growth is here shown. Poor seed stock could not produce such an abundant crop of large 

 seed balls. For prices and illustrations, see pages 47 and 48.
