F'hiilacielphlia Onion 



"PliiladelphiH-grown onion sets" are everywhere recog- 

 nized as tlie best. Experienced gardeners insist upon liav- 

 ir.g them, and enormous quantities are supplied annually to 

 dealers and growers in all parts of the country. We grow 

 eacli season large quantities from our Philadelphia seed, 

 which, being earlier, makes beautiful, small, round sets of 

 better quality than tliat grown in any other section. 



We frequently have calls for Bed Wethersfield Onion Sets 

 and for sets of Italian Oni*>ns. These we cannot supply, as we 

 only grow the varieties listed below. The Red Wethersfield 

 Onion, while producing large bulbs from seed, does not pro- 

 duce good small sets, and the sets of Italian Onions cannot 

 be kept over winter. We grow sets of American Extra Early 

 Pearl and Prize-Taker for fall shipments only. 



We shall be glad to quote special prices by the peck, 

 bushel or barrel (3 bushels), at any time, when requested.
