 being earlier, make sets of better quality for keeping or im- 

 mediate use than that grown in any other section. Philadel- 

 phia-grown onion sets are everywhere recognized as the 

 best and are annually supplied to dealers ami gardeners in 

 every market of the United States. As the price varies 

 with the market, we shall be glad to quote prices by the
