OtllOntEED 



No one can appreciate the value of reliable seetls better than those who have been Olice disap- 

 pointed. Too much care cannot be exercised in selecting your supply of onion seed. • There is no' 

 vegetable in which the quality of the seed exerts a greater influence upon the crop. Our stock is all 

 grown from choice bulbs, selected carefullyby Land, and is unsurpassed in this country. 

 During our whole business career as seedsmen, it has always been our aim to make quality a first 

 consideration, price afterwards, and in no one crop have we met with greater reward for our efforts 

 than in onions, the demand for our seed having increased so rapidly that we have been obliged ta 

 largely increase our facilities for growing every year for several years past.

Pliotograph of a growing: crop of our Pedjgree Onion Seed. The best evidence that the onion bulbs we set out 

 for see<l were carefully selecte<i for size, sound condition, and strong growth, is here shown. Poor seed stocli could not pro- 

 duce such an abundant crop of large seed balls. 



PHILADELPHIA GROWN SEED, or that raised in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania, 

 is unquestionably earlier than New England seed, and still earlier compared with Western seed. This 

 is an important feature, as the early market onions always bring the highest prices. The growth con- 

 clusively proves our claim, the Philadelphia seed making bulbs of better quality for keeping or imme- 

 diate use, either as sets or full-sized onions, long before seed from any other locality. Large, full-sized 

 onions cTan be grown from our seed the first season in any section of the United States, North or South.
