NEW 5F/lNISn ONION, nAbKlb QI/INT. 



This new variety, which we first introduced into America last spring, is the largest and most popular onion grown 

 around Madrid, the Spanish Capital, from wliencewe have obtained the seed. It possesses the large size, mild flavor, 

 excellent keeping, and all other good qualities of the celebrated Spanish King, but difTers from that variety in its hand- 

 some red skill, which, in contrast with its pure white, line grained flesh, attracts marked attention in market, when 

 offered for sale. It is also claimed by the Spanish growers, tliat tlie Madrid Giant grows quicker and can be grown at least 

 one-third larger than any other sort. We believe there is a great future here for these Si)anish varieties of onion, as instead 

 of the tops dying down or running to seed, as is the case with American varieties, they keep on growing the entire season, 

 thus attaining enormous weights and dimensions. A number of specimens sent in to us by eustomers, to whom we had 

 sent seed, had attained a weight of five pounds and over. They are worthy of a trial from all market gardeners and onion 

 growers. We hone that every customer who grows an onion will include at least a packet of the wondertful Madrid Giant 

 in their order. Pkt., 15c.; oz., 40c.; % lb., $1.25 ; lb., W.50. 



THE 5F/1NI5I1 KINQ, OR FRIZE-T/IKER ONION. 



We first introduced this handsome Spanish variety in America three years ago and have received hundreds of testimonial 

 letters from growers, who all agree in pronouncing the Spanish King the largest, handsomest and most profitable variety 

 they have ever grown. The outside skin is of a rich yellow color, while the flesh is white, sweet, mild and tender. They 

 bottom well, are free from stiff necks, and have produced more bushels (1127) of marketable onions to theatre than any 

 other variety known In America. In market it attracts marked attention, and although only offered to a limited extent has 

 always been picked out and selected at three times the prices of any other sort on sale, either red, white or yellow. Pkt., 

 lOc; oz., 30c.; %1h.,$l.OO; lb.,S3.50.
