Well and favorably known for the last 20 years in 

 every onion growing section of the United States, as the 

 equal and superior of all other strains of Danvers. 



Siuce I first offered this improved strain of Globe Dan- 

 vers, I have supplied direct to the onion growers of this 

 country a quantity far exceeding a hundred thousand 

 pounds, a record unsurpassed by any American seed house. 



Please remember I have only the one strain of Danvers Onion, that is Maule's Yellow Globe Danvers. 



This onion always grows to a good size, of fine globular form, very thick bulb, with small neck. It is very choice aud 

 well flavored, being rather mild. It is very early. In many markets it will find ready sale at from 5 to 10 cents per bushel 

 higher than any other varieties. Frequently produces 600 bushels and more per acre, and for reliability in bottoming it is 

 unsurpassed. With the exception of Maule's Prizetaker, it is the best of all Yellow Onions. This is the only variety of Dan- 

 vers Onion I list, I have only the one strain of Danvers, as I cannot see the advisability of making anj' distinction between 

 Globe Danvers and Round Danvers, unless it is in the quality of the seed, and I have no second grade of anything in this book. 



The Best Is What I Find My Customers Always Want \"^ t^^* is what 



' ' they secure it they 



send direct to headquarters, for the best o nion seed in Amer ica, namely: 1711 Filbert Street, Phila. 



I offer this superior strain of Yellow Globe Danvers this year at the following reasonable prices : 

 Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; quarter pound, 25 cts.; pound, 75 cts.; 5 pounds, $3.00, by mail, postpaid. 



Qiant Red Vesuvius. 



The Largest and Heaviest Red Onion in Cultivation. 



This onion, which I first introduced four years ago, under 

 the name of No. 1700, and named Giant Red Vesuvius the fol- 

 lowing year, has made a great record. As stated then, I pro- 

 cured the seed from an Italian gentleman, in this country, 

 visiting the World's Fair. He informed me that in South- 

 ern Italy it was superior to anything in cultivation, and that 

 a few growers had kept it to themselves for years. He de- 

 scribed it as the brightest red onion known in any of the 

 Italian markets, and stated that on account of its beautiful 

 shape and superior color it always brought top market 

 prices. His claims have been more than fulfilled. I fur- 

 nished seed last year to thousands of my friends who are 

 unanimous in praising Giant Red Vesuvius in the highest 

 terms, and it has really been far above my expectations. 

 The two following extracts from letters received gives some 

 idea of the enthusiasm my friends have for this new onion : 



William Gilpin, M. D., Brechin, Ont., Canada, says; "I 

 wrote yon some time ago to see if you could send me some 

 more of the Giant Red Vesuvius Onion. lam proud to tell 

 you I swept everything at the Fall fairs just closed. I took 

 first prize on Giant Re<l Vesuvius at Brechin, Orvilla aud 

 Cunningham, and second on Prizetakers. The Giant Vesu- 

 vius measured 16'^ inches around, and weighed 2 pounds 

 1 ounce. They were simplv a surprise to exhibitors." 



E. E. Richmond, M. S. A., of the Utah Agricultural Ex- 

 periment . Station, writes : "We received from you last Spring 

 a small package of seed of Giant Red Vesuvius Onion. We 

 find this variety has done better than any other variety, in- 

 cluding the Prizetaker. The figures stand— Prizetaker, (>(H) 

 bushels per acre; Giant Red Vesuvius, 871 bushels per acre. 

 They were grown by the new method on land that I do not I. 

 consider first-class onion land." 



In shape the Vesuvius is exactly similar to illustration 

 herewith. It will readily grow to weigh 1 to 2 pounds the 

 first year from seed, of a mild, pleasant flavor, an excellent 

 keeper, always of a bright scarlet color; in fact, it is the 

 brightest red onion I have ever seen, and might almost he 

 called a red Prizetaker. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 2.ic., V^ lb, 7.')c.; lb., S2.2o.
