Johnson & Stokes' Best American Grown Onion Seed 



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 carefully 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 inci eased so rapidly that we 

 have been obliged to largely increase our 

 acreage ever}- year for several 3'ears past. 



Our 1S99 seed is unusually plump and heavy, 

 and, subject to our greenhouse test in Mother 

 Earth, shows perfect germinating power. Our 

 prices are as low as the best American Onion 

 Seed of new crop can be sold for this season.

MINNESOTA WHITE GLOBE ONION. 



MINNESOTA GLOBE ONIONS 



These are new true deep globe onions of 

 the finest and most select type, so called to dis- 

 tinguish them from all other etocks of red and 

 white globe onions, differing in earliness, pro- 

 ductiveness, perfection of shape and long- 

 keeping qualities. From our trials with them 

 we believe them to be the onion of the future. 

 We offer choice new seed grown in Minnesota 

 by the originator.

Choice New Crop Seed of Best American Onions 



The crops of onion seed grown in 1S99 have been shorter than for many j-ears. Careful estimates 

 show that there was not half enough seed harvested in the United States to supply the demand. There 

 is still in the hands of some dealers, who never throw anything away, several tons of old onion seed, 

 which will be offered at low prices, and we would caution our customers to beware of such seed.
