THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1909 



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 

 parent, it differs from 

 lellow Globe Danvers 

 mainly in shape, being 

 m ore flattened. The 

 claim is made for it that 

 it ripens more surely in 

 moist situations than 

 the globe-shaped sorts, 

 and that it is' a little 

 earlier. It is certainly 

 a first-class onion in 

 yield, flavor and keep- 

 ing qualities. Plct., 10 

 cts.; ox., 30 cts.j y, lb., 

 50 cts.; lb., $1.30.

NEW ICY YELLOW. 



ROUND DANVERS. 



NEW ICY YELLOW, 



This fine onion, on account oi 

 its peculiar color, I have given 

 the name of ley Yellow. It is & 

 very early variety for market oj 

 family use. Makes a very attrac 

 tive and handsome colored yellow 

 onion, tender and mild, and of 

 _ fine flavor. The bulbs are large, 

 E=s : somewhat flattened, skin pale yel 

 low, flesh pure white. Very pro 

 ductive and an excellent keeper. 

 Supply of seed is still limited

SILVER SKIN. 



SILVER SKIN. — Same as White Portugal, 

 Philadelphia White, etc. A mild and pleasant 

 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 favorite 

 with many when young as a salad or bunching 

 onion; excellent for winter. Near Philadelphia 

 this variety is largely grown for sets, and is re- 

 garded as a standard sort on account of it, being 

 hard and firm and an excellent keeeper. Packet, 

 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; ' 4 pound, 81.00; 

 pound, S3.00. 



MAMMOTH SILVER KING. — I introduced 

 this grand onion to the public over 20 years ago. 

 The skin is of a beautiful, silvery white.' The flesh 

 has a particularly mild and pleasant flavor, and 

 is so sweet that it may be eaten raw like an apple. 

 No other white onion attains such mammoth 

 size, nor will any other white variety grow uni- 

 formly so large. The bulbs are of an attractive 

 shape, flattened, but thick, as shown in the illus- 

 tration. The average diameter of fully grown 

 Mammoth Silver King onions is from 5 to 7% 

 Inches. I have a record of one of these onions 

 weighing f pounds and 9 ounces. Thousands of 

 letters and postal cards have reached me contain- 

 ing 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 1 

 proves the adaptability of the onion to a wide] 

 range of soil and climate. Pkt., 10 cts.; ox. ~~ 

 35 cts.; % lb., 7.5 cts.; lb., $3.50. 



AUSTRALIAN BROWN. — 



This onion has claimed a piace 



in America within recent years, 



and seems abundantly able to 



maintain it. It is of medium 



size and of good quality, very 



early, rather flattened in shape, 



of brown color, and wonderfully 



hard and solid. It begins to 



form a bulb at an early period 



of its growth, when only a few 



inches high and quickly reaches 



maturity. Its leading and most 



valuable feature, aside from ap- 



K pearance and quality, is its long 



g keeping ability. It will literally 



jg keep for a year or more. It has 



^rag developed :\ sudden and wide 



"fig; popularity in this country since 



its advent here, especially in 



the Middle West. Packet, 10 



cts.; ounce, 30 cts.; l 4 pound, 



50 cts.; pouna, $1.50.
