Reliable Onion Seed. ++ 
AS the introducer of Prizetaker, the greatest Onion ever put in the hands 
of the American Onion grower, Ihave long considered myself an au- 
thority on Onion seed. In 1892, unfortunately, my crop was a most disas- 
trous one, amounting to less than ten thousand pounds of seed; consequently 
fhad to advance many of my prices; my Globe Danvers and Wethersfield 
especially were almost double in price that of the year before. To give my 


Sriends some idea of my requirements in Onion seed, I would say, I had 
lanted the past season over 125 acres in my best Yellow Globe Danvers and 
aule’s Red Wethersfield alone, while my total acreage for all varieties 
Iam glad to report I have harvested a most successful 
exceeded 350 acres. 








crop, more than double that of last year, of ulmost every variety, so that I 5) 
am able to make better prices om many sorts than for several 8 
years past. This is especially gratifying, in view of the high prices I had R 
to ask for my seed last season. My special offer of 10 pounds of seed of 
such varieties as Maule’s Red Wethersfield, Yellow Globe Danvers, Extra ~ 
Early Red, Yellow Dutch, Southport Yellow Globe or Kked Globe, for $10.00, 
delivered at any post office, is cerlainly a remarkable one. My customers 
can either take 10 pounds of one variety, 5 pounds of two varieties, or 2 
pounds each of any five sorts, just as they prefer, so the order amounts to 10 
pounds, and they remit $10.00 in full for same. In view of this phenomenal 
offer, I of course anticipate an unusual demand, which I will be glad to 
meet with as fine, plump and strong germinating seed as it has 
ever beem my fortune to place im my warehouse. Jn this con- 
nection I would add that, where owing to short crops, I have to charge a 
little more for my seed one year, as soon as the crops are full, as my old 
customers well know, I try to make up the discrepancy, so that taking 
ome year with another, they can always depend on striking a 
fair average price for any seed they may require.

Prizetaker, it is best of all Yellow Onions. I only list the one & 
variety, as I have but one strain of Danvers Onion, and that the best ts 
Globe. For my part, I cannot see the distinction between Globe 3 
Danvers and Round Danvers, unless it be in quality of the seed, and

MAULE’S WETHERSFIELD.—There are many strains of 3 
this justly celebrated onion oifered, but none that can surpass 4 
Maule’s famous stock of this popular variety. - Growing to large 
size, 1 to 2-pound onions from seed the first year are of frequent oc- 
currence. The $50.00 prize offered in 1887 for the heaviest was secured 
by one of my customers for a specimen weighing 244 pounds. It 
grows with unusual regularity, scallions being almost unknown.
