The Largest and Hand- 

 somest Yellow Onion. 



This variety was first 

 introduced by us a few years 

 since, and has become one 

 of the most popular of the 

 yellow onions. Hundreds 

 of American onion growers 

 agree in proimunciiig it the 

 largest, hanil.suniest and 

 most profitable yellow var- 

 iety they have ever grown. 

 It is tlie very large beautiful 

 onion that is seen every fall 

 on sale at the fruit stores 

 and stands in the large 

 cities. Our photograph 

 alongside was made from a 

 basket of onions grown in 

 Jerse.v from our seed and 

 awarded the first prize at 

 the N. J. State Fair. The 

 outside skin is of a rich yel- 

 low straw color, w'hile the 

 flesh is white, sweet, mild 

 and tender. They bottom 

 well, are free from stiff 

 iK'cks and produce enor- 

 mously. The seed we offer 

 is American grown, crop of 

 1896. and much superior in 

 quality to the cheaper im- 

 Ijorted seed offered by 

 some. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.;
