In 
Same as White Portugal, Philadelphia White, etc. A mild and pleas- 
ant onion, of somewhat flattened shape. It is very popular for family 
use and one of the best for pickling, also for slicing or boiling. A favor- 
ite with many when young as a Salad or bunching onion; excellent for 
winter. Near Philadelphia this variety is largely grown for sets, and is 
regarded as a standard sort on account of it belng hard and firm and an 
excellent keeper. 
Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 25 cts.; 14 pound, 75 cts.; pound, $2.50. 
os Round Danvers 
This is a strain origi- 
nally selected from Yel- 
low Globe Danvers, and 
perfected by careful 
breeding. Its table and 
market qualities are 
the same as those of its 
arent. It differs from 
rellow Globe Danvers 
mainly in shape, being / 
more flattened. It rip- 
situations than the \ 
globe-shaped sorts, and 
it is a little earlier. It 
is certainly a first-class 
onion in yield, flavor 
and keeping qualities. 
Packet, 5 cents; 0oz., 
15 cts.; 14 lb., 40 cts.; 
Ib., $1.25.

458 Ohio 
Yellow Globe 
Until very recently 
this onion has only been 
known to a_ limited 
extent in parts of the 
State of Ohio, where it 
has long been consid- 
ered one of the best of 
Globe onions. It is of 
handsome, bright, even 
yellow color, with small 
neck. Ripens early and 
all at once; the firm, 
solid bulbs areexcellent 
winter keepers. It is re- 
ported that 800 bushels 
of Ohio Yellow Globe 
onions have been grown 
on a single acre of good 
land. It is especially 
recommended for heavy 
muck land on account 
of its early maturing 
qualities. My supply of 
this variety is particu-. 
larly choice this season. |

«1 Mammoth Silver King 
I introduced this grand onion to the public 
over 25 years ago. The skin is a beautiful, sil- 
very white. The fiesh has a particularly mild 
and pleasant flavor, and is 80 sweet that it may 
be eaten raw like an apple. No other white on- 
ion attains such mammoth size, nor will any 
other variety grow uniformly so large. The bulbs 
are of an attractive shape, flattened, but thick, 
as shown in the illustration. The average diam- 
eter of fully grown Mammoth Silver King onions 
is from 5to 74 inches. 1 havea record of one of 
\\ these onions weighing 4 pounds and 9 ounces. 
\ Thousands of letters and postal cards have 
} reached me containing words of the highest 
| praise of the wonderful size, early maturity and 
good quality of this famous onion; and the fact 
that these voluntary testimonials come from all 
parts of the country proves the adaptability of 
the onion to a wide range of soil and climate.
