 SOW FAMOUS OXIOX, seed of which I have si .Id to tens of thousands 

 of my customers. It grows larger than any other White Onion 

 in cultivation. Bulbs are of attractive shape, flattened, but thick 

 through, as shown in illustration. Average diameter of Unions, from 5 to 

 7 1 ., in.; bulbs often attain weights of 234 to 4 lbs. each. No other 

 White Onion attains such mammoth size, nor will any 

 other White variety grow uniformly so large. Skin, a beaut] 

 ful silvery white ; flesh, of particularly mild and pleasant flavor, so sweet 

 and tender that it can be eaten raw, like an apple. Everyone desiring the 

 largest and handsomest onions, of the finest flavor will be more 

 than satisfied with Silver King. Cannot be too highly recommend."!

 not already sown Silver King, you should not neglect to 

 sow it another year. In I 885-M5-87-8S, over 100,000 gar- 

 deners found it to EQUAL AND SURPASS ALL CLAIMS HEREIN MADE
