and testimonials, puge 14. 



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

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

 3onntry. 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 

 anions. 



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 Leaf Iet= Essays on this subject, which will be sent free with 

 li.J orders for onion seed, when requested. 



Not for several years have we had such a good crop of fine plump, high 

 germinating onion seed as in 1910. We are, therefore, able to make 

 unusually favorable prices.
