There is no vegetable in which the quality of the seed exerts a greater iiiHuence upon the crop 

 than in onions. Our stock is all grown from choice bulbs, selected by hand, and is unsurpassed in this 

 country. During our whole business career as seeclsnien, it has always been our aim to make quality a 

 first consideration, price afterwards, and in no one crop have we met with jjreater reward for our efforta 

 than in onions, the demand for our seed having increased so rapidly that we have been obliged to 

 laigely increase our facilities for growing; every year for several years past. 



PHILADELPHIA-QROWN SEED, or that raised in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania, is 

 unquestionably earlier than New England seed, and still earlier compared with Western seed. This 

 is an important feature, as the eai-jy market onions always bring the highest prices. The growth con- 

 clusively proves our claim, the Philadelphia seed making bulbs of better quality for keeping or imme- 

 diate use, either as sets or full-sized onions, long before seed from any other locality. Lartre, fall-sized 

 onions can be grown from our seed the first season in any section of the United States, Noith or South 



One ounce will sow one hundred feet of drill. To grow large onions from seed, five pounds to the 

 acre; to grow small sets, fifty to sixty pounds to the acre are required. For full infcrmation for culture, 

 storage and marketing onions and onion sets, see our New Leaflet-Essays on thi; subject, which wiU
