NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN VEGETABLES 



Sxtra Sarly Sled 



Slobe 3)anvers Onion 



This beautiful new onion, 

 which we oflered last spring 

 for the first, will undoubted- 

 ly become the most popular 

 of all red onions. Its ex- 

 treme earliness has been a 

 great surprise to us as well as 

 to all market gardeners who 

 have grown it. It is of per- 

 fect globe shape, resembling 

 the South port Large Red 

 Globe in its rich purplish- 

 crimson color, but is leady 

 for market several weeks 

 ahead of that variety, and 

 is unquestionably the earli- 

 est American red variety 

 ever introduced, and one of 

 the best keepers. Per pkt.,

nion 



This new onion, recently introduced into the 

 United States, has met with wonderful success, suc- 

 ceeding admirably, and is pronounced the best 

 keeper of all onions. The shape and size are well 

 shown in our photograph alongside. The outside 

 skin is of a deep amber brown, distinct from all 

 other onions, extremely hard and firm, of fine fla- 

 vor and will keep almost indefinitely. Australian 

 Brown is the only onion Australian growers will 

 plant. We offer choice American-grown seed from 

 the original importation. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 20c.; \Vo., 

 50c.; lb., $1.75 ; 5 lbs. and over, $1.60 per lb.

 Onions will be found on pages 42 and 4S 



We especially recommend our Philadelphia 

 True Yellow Globe Danvers as the best yellow 

 onion, of true globe shape and uniformly perfect. 



Our Round Yellow Danvers OnioVi is of the 

 true round type and not a mixture of round and 

 flat onions as is generally sold for this variety. 



Our Philadelphia Yellow Dutch or Strasburg 

 is the best for growing sets, which are always 

 round, plump and handsome. 



Our American Extra Early Pearl is the 

 earliest of the White Onions, very mild and won- 

 derfully large and fine. 



The Rhode Island Yellow Cracker Onion, 

 first introduced by us a few years since, will be 

 found the earliest yellow onion.
