more than twenty years. The engraving is 
from a photograph. In color the skin is deep, 
purplish red. The flesh is white, moderately 
grained, and of good character. The flavor when 
cooked is highly relishable. One of my patrons 
grew 66,905 pounds of Maule’s Large Red Wethers- 
field onions on a Single acre of ground, some years 
ago, in competition for a prize of $250. This is at 
the rate of 1,200 or 1,800 bushels per acre, the legal 
weight of a bushel of onions varying in different 
States from 50 to 57 pounds. Yields of 600 to 800 
bushels of my Wethersfield per acre are not rare. 
Onion seed value depends greatly upon the way 
the stock is selected and cared for, and the seed 
which I offer is of the earliest form, grown from 
hand sorted bulbs and sure to produce large onions.

my customers speak of it every year in terms of 
highest praise. Many strains of Red Wethersfield 
are offered the American public, but my careful 
; comparative tests convince me that none are 2 
equal to the one here described. Itis inevery way 3 
a perfect red onion for home and market purposes. ==

have supplied direct to the onion growers of America far more than 
200,000 pounds of the seed. This extensive distribution is in itself a testi-

Charles C. Jordan, Kenton, Ohio, writes: I bought of you last year 10 pounds 
Yellow Globe Danvers onion seed, from which I raised 880 bushels marketable 
onions. I sold them at 50 cents per bushel at an onion house in Foraker, Ohio, 
144 miles from the field. My onions were pronounced No. 1. 
ROUND DANVERS. 
This is a strain originally selected from Yellow Globe Danvers, and per- 
< fected by careful breeding. Its table and market qualities are the same 
pg as those of its parent. It differs from Yellow Globe Danvers mainly in 
shape, being more flattened. The claim is made for it that it ripens more 
surely in moist situations than the globe-shaped sorts, and that it isa 
a} little earlier. It is certainly a first-class onion in yield, flavor and keep- 
ing qualities, and is a type of one of the most distinct and celebrated 
American strains. Packet, 5 cts.; 0z., 10 cts.; 14 ib., 25 cts.; lb., 70 cts. 
SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE. 
Entirely distinct from onions of the Danvers type, having notable 
and peculiar characteristics of its own. The flesh is white, fine and 
mild. The bulb is large and handsome, and is always a good seller. 
It is a heavy cropper and good keeper. The Southport Globe onions 
are the largest of the American class. They originated at Southport, 
Conn. My strain of the seed is 
absolutely pure. No better to }

EXTRA EARLY RED. 
This is one of the standard 
American onions, adapting itself 
to a wide variety of soils and sit- 
uations. It will succeed in cold, 
mucky ground, where other sorts 
would fail. It matures ten days 
sooner than the Red Wethersfield, 
and inrich soils grows almost as 
large. Extra Early Red is a some- 
|| what flattened onion, as shown in 
the illustration. It can be made 
to produce fine, marketable on- 
ions in 90 days from the sowing of 
the seed. It is of mild flavor, and 
keeps well. The color is a deep, 
rich red, the grain is fine and 
close, and the onion is solid and 








heavy. It is hardy and reliable, 
and well adapted for the early 
market. This onion will succeed 
almost anywhere, but is peculiar- 
ly fittedfor northern latitudes, 
where the seasons are short and 
cool. Packet, 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 
V4 Ib., 25 ets.; lb., 75 cents.
