ESSA : 





























































AUSTRALIAN BROWN.—This onion has 
5 claimed a place in America within recent 
years, and seems abundantly able to main- Wy } , F 
tain it. It is of medium size and of good qual- ag f// Yyff/// Hifi =) WN \ \\, 
ity, very early, rather flattened in shape, of f | AK i 
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 appearance 
* and quality, is its long keeping quality. It 
will literally keep for a year or more. It has 
developed a sudden and wide popularity in 
this country since its advent here. PkKt., 5 cts.;
