These highly valuable new and distinct 

 American onions originated with Mr. John R. 

 Williamson, of Ohio, one of the largest and most 

 successful onion growers of that State. Mr. 

 Williamson's onions have been long and favor- 

 ably known by a few Eastern commission 

 houses as the best in the market, and much 

 sought after late in the season, owing to their 

 excellent keeping qualities, fine appearance, 

 and handsome shape. 



The accompanying engravings, made from 

 nature, shows the shape and general appear- 

 ance. Seed of these varieties are sure to 

 bottom well; in fact, loo plants, if cultivated 

 properly, will produce loo fine, perfect, full- 

 proportioned onions, of much better qualitv 

 aid appearance than the Southport Globe v; ri- 

 e ies. These extra qualities always insure 

 extra prices. 



Golden Ball Onion. 



The color of the skin is between a golden 

 and a rich brown, flesh of exquisite whiteness, 

 mild, well-flavored, and of unapproachable 

 quality, and occupying the very first rank as a 

 keeping variety. Oz., 25c.; X lb., 65c.; lb., 

 I2.50: 5 lbs,, |i2.oo. 



Ivory Ball Onion. 



In size, shape, and keeping qualities this 

 variety is an exact counterpart of our Golden 

 Ball. The skin and flesh, however, are of a 

 pearly whiteness, and so smooth, round and 

 handsome that, to a casual observer, they might 

 easily be taken for billiard balls. It is just as 

 easy to grow as the yellow varieties, and we 

 recommend it to market growers in preference 

 for the reason that white-skinned usually com- 

 mand a higher price than yellow onions. Oz., 

 30c.; X lb., 85c.; lb., I3.00 ; 5 lbs., I14.00.
