Three New and Superior Globe Onions 
The steadily increasing popularity of the globe type of onion is, no doubt, due to the fact that good 
globe onions command the highest market price. Intelligent and carefully directed efforts on our own 
part, and those of our expert seed growers, have done much for the development and maintenance of 
these superior types. It is not alone sufficient to breed up a strain to the ideal, but it is necessary, year 
after year, to give the most careful cultivation — 
and selection to prevent any deterioration ; this 
is especially true of this type of onions. Onion 
seed is in very short supply this season. For 
other varieties of onions, see pages 38 and 39.

\Johnson’s Long-keeping Prizetaker 
See colored illustration 
from nature on back 
of this book 
: Since its introduction in 
JOHNSONS 1888, the old Prizetaker Onion 
NEW LONG has grown in popularity, the 
only objection being its keeping 
KEEPING qualities, which have not been 
upto the standard of many ofthe 
American varieties. For several 
years past, however, a promi- 
nent onion grower has been 
making selections and breeding 
the old Prizetaker until he has 
obtained a strain which, in 
keeping quality, is fully equal 
to Danvers and the Southport 
Globes. This strain, which can 
only be had from us this season, 
is by far the largest in size and 
handsomest in shape of all the 
Yellow Globe Onions. Pkt., 10e.; 
oz, 25c.; + lb., 75c.; lb., $2.75.
