Large Red Wethersfield 



This has been one of my leading specialties for 

 more than twenty six years. The engraving is 

 from a photograph. In color the skin is deep 

 purplish red. The flesh is -svhite, moderately 

 grained, and of good character. One of my 

 patrons grew 66,905 pounds of Jlaule's Large Red 

 Wethersfield onions on a single acre of ground, 

 some j-ears ago, in competition for a prize of S-2o0. 

 Yields of COO to 800 bushels per acre are not 

 unusual. Onion seed value depends greatly upon 

 the way the stock is selected and cared for, and 

 the seed which 1 offer is of the earliest form, 

 grown from hand sorted bulbs and sure to pro- 

 duce large onions. Specimens of Maule's Large 

 Red Wethersfield weighing one or even two 

 pounds the first year from seed are not uncom- 

 mon, and there is a noteworthy uniformity of 

 size, scallions being unknown and is a magnifi- 

 cent keeper. Many strains of Red Wethersfield 

 are offered the American public, but my careful 

 comparative tests convince me that none surpass 

 the one here described. It Is in every way a 

 perfect red onion for home and market purposes. 



Pacl^et, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 

 Impound, 40 cents; pound, §1.30, postpaid.

Maulers Yellow Globe Danvers 



My strain of Yellow Globe Danvers Onion is unsurpassed. It always attains a good size, 

 with deep bulb and small neck. It is choice in flavor, being rather mild, and is invariably 

 a market favorite at prices above average quotations. It frequently produces 600 bushels 

 per acre, and capable of doing even better under extra culture. It is early and profitable, 

 and a splendid keeper. JMy strain of Y'ellow Globe Danvers has been famous for the past 

 quarter century in every onion growing district of the United States, and I have supplied 

 direct to onion growers more than 200,000 pounds of the seed. 



Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; '/i pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.25, postpaid.

Extra Early Red 



It will succeed in cold, mucky ground, where other sorts would fall, 

 matures ten days sooner than the Red Wethersfield. It can be made 

 produce fine, marketable onions in 90 days from the sowing of the 

 ed. It is of mild flavor, and keeps well. The color is a deep, rich red, 

 e grain is fine and close and the onion is solid and heavy. It is hardy, 

 liable, and well adapted for early market. Extra Early Red will slic- 

 ed almost anywhere, but Is peculiarly fitted for northern latitudes, 

 here the seasons are short and cool. 

 Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; J^ pound, 40 cts.; pound, $1.^5.

This handsome 

 red globe onion 

 has become very 

 popular in the 

 INorthwest. Hav- 

 ing had a num- 

 ber of calls for 

 it, I grew a sup- 

 ply of the seed, 

 and in 1904 

 offered it for the 

 first time to my 

 customers. It is 

 the old reliable, 

 large Red Weth- 

 ersfield bred to a 

 globe shape, and 

 while I do not 

 consider it su- 

 perior to South- 

 port Red Globe, 

 my customers 

 will not make a 

 mistake by giv- 

 ing it a trial 

 this season.
