Maulc's Commercial Yellow Globe Onion 



443 



Maule's Commercial onion has been selected 

 from our original Prizetaker and has been bred 

 to a size that is more merchantable. Our eflbrts 

 have been rewarded by securing an onion fully 

 as handsome as the Prizetaker in every way ; of 

 more uniform size, and whose keeping qualities 

 are simpl}^ remarkable and decidedly superior 

 to the parent variety. Six hundred bushels per 

 acre have been no unusual yield, and this quan- 

 tit}' has been frequently surpassed. Twenty- 

 eight years ago we introduced the Prizetaker 

 onion, and until now we have not found a sin- 

 gle vari'ety that could equal, let alone surpass 

 it, in any way. We take great pleasure in 

 offering our customers Maule's Commercial 

 onion, a variety that has proven as popular 

 and equally as desirable. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 

 quarter pound, 60 cents; pound, $2.00, postpaid.

Ohio Yellow Globe 



Until very recently this onion has only been known to a limited 

 extent in parts of the State of Ohio, -n-here it has long been considered 

 one of the best of Globe onions. It is ot handsome, bright, even yellow 

 color, with small neck. Ripens early and all at once; the firm, solid 

 bulbs are excellent winter keepers. It Is reported that 800 bushels ot 

 Ohio Yellow Globe onions have been grown on a single acre of good 

 land. It is especially recommended for heavy muck land on account 

 of its early maturing qualities. Our supply of this variety is particu- 

 larly choice this season. 

 Packet, 5 cents; ounce, HO cents; }/^ pound, 60 cents; pound, $3.25.

Yellow Welsh Onion 



This is a bunch onion of the same character as the 

 White Welsh, except that while the flesh is white 

 the skin is a yellowish brown in color. While it is a 

 desirable variety in some markets, it has not the 

 handsome pearly white appearance, nor is it as naild 

 in flavor as the White Welsh. It is extremelj' hardy 

 and for this reason we recommend that it be planted 

 wherever the winters are severe. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; >^ lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00.

White Welsh Onion 



This is one of the best green bunch onions known. 

 Pearly white in appearance and mild in flavor it is 

 a most desirable bunch onion for market gardeners 

 or the home garden. It does not form a bulb, but 

 very early in the Spring, before seeds or sets are 

 planted, it produces a fine bunch onion or scallion, 

 which is quite attractive and coming in a season 

 when green stuff is scarce. It is a money maker, 

 and win be appreciated where an early green bunch 

 onion is in demand. Being very hardy, requires 

 no winter mulching. Authorities everywhere recom- 

 mend this variety, and market gardeners will find 

 it an exceedingly profitable crop. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; \i lb., 75 cts.; lb., $2.50.

Large Red Wethersf ield 



This has been one of our leading specialties for 

 more than twenty-nine years. The engraving is 

 from a photograph. In color the skin is deep 

 purplish red. The flesh is white, moderately 

 grained, and of good character. One of our 

 patrons grew 66,905 pounds of Jlaule's Large Red 

 Wethersfield onions on a single acre of ground, 

 some years ago, in competition for a prize of S250. 

 Yields of 600 to 800 bushels per acre are not 

 unusual. Onion seed value depends greatly upon 

 the way the stock is selected and cared for, and 

 the seed which we offer is of the earliest form, 

 grown from hand sorted bulbs and sure to pro- 

 duce large onions. Specimens of Maule's Large 

 Red Wethersfield weighing one or even two 

 pounds the first year from seed are not uncom- 

 mon, there is also a noteworthy uniformity of 

 size, scallions being unknown and is a magnifi- 

 cent keeper. Many strains of Red A\'ethersfleld 

 are ofl"ered the American public, but our careful 

 comparative tests convince us that none surpass 

 the one here described. It is in every way a 

 perfect red onion for home and market purposes. 



Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 

 Impound, 60 cents; pound, $2.00, postpaid.
