Model Export Hardy Onion 



This new onion, seed of which we offered for sale for the 

 first time last season, originated in Northern New York, where 

 the seed had heretofore been controlled by a few market 

 growers. In fine color they are different from all other 

 onions, and might be described as a pinkish dark yellow or 

 distinct mandarin color. They have become noted for their 

 long-keeping qualities, commanding high prices and much 

 sought after by onion dealers in New York and Boston for 

 shipment to foreign countries. Their rapidity of growth makes 

 them invaluable, as they are ready for bunching for market 

 two weeks before any other onion, growing good-sized onions 

 from the black seed almost as early as other onions grown from 

 sets, and can therefore be produced much cheaper. Per pkt., 

 10c; oz., 30c; \ lb., 90c; lb., $3.00 ; 5 lbs. for $13.00. 



What Growers Say of 2 Grand Onions 



Warren Webster, Port Monmouth, N. J., Aug. 29. writes: "I had 

 on August 20th onions of your Model Export Hardy, measuring 4 inches in 

 diameter, said by onion growers in this section to be ahead of all onions 

 they ever saw grown from seed. They grew splendidly while other kinds 

 were a failure. As I have the only Model Export in this county I will have 

 a home market for them all at good prices." 



R. G. White, W. Orange, S. Dak., Oct. 24, writes: "It is beyond my 

 power to properly describe the merits of the New Hardy Export Onion. It 

 is very large for one so early, distinct and beautiful in color, extremely 

 hardy, and the onions look to me as though they would keep for a year." 



John O. Rasser, Mill Hall, Pa., Aug. 13, writes: "Your Philadel- 

 phia Yellow Globe Danvers Onion seed has produced for me the finest crop 

 of onions in all this section; no other will be planted here next year." 



Henry Hoskins, Binghamton, N. Y., writes: "In twenty years' experi- 

 ence your Philadelphia Yellow Globe Danvers has proven the best and 

 handsomest onion I have ever grown ; a wonderful seller and keeper."
