NEW EXTRA EARLY 














Delicious 
Radish. 
This new radish is of a bright 
carmine red color, inclining toward 
a purple tint. It is superlatively 
good. Its size and form are correct- 
ly shown in the illustration. The 
leaves are small. The flesh is white, 
crisp, juicy and sweet. It is a quick 
grower, and bunches up handsomely. 
The new name of the radish is part 
of the story: it is truly ‘‘ delicious,” 
as forty different people testify.

DELICIOUS RADISH. 


This excellent new extra early onion seems certain to at once take a 
high place in popular esteem. It is from Australia, as its name indi- 
cates, where it is well and favorably known. In colorit isa little lighter 
than Yellow Globe Danvers. In weight, as compared with Danvers, it | 
is distinctly heavier. The average size of the Australian Yellow Globe 
onion is about three inches or more each way; average weight about | 
seven ounces. The neck is thin, and the onion ripens quickly when | 
mature. Nosecond growth is made. The keeping quality is excellent. | 
The flesh is white, solid and mild in flavor. . ; | 
In regard to its keeping qualities it is not to be classed with what are 
usually termed ‘‘foreign” onions, meaning the Mediterranean sorts, 
which are inferior in this respect to the native American varieties. 
This new Australian onion is more nearly akin to our Yellow Globe 
Danvers, and should keep equally as well. | 
I am convinced that this new onion is altogether superior to the 
Australian Brown onion lately put upon the market, being better suited | 
to our soil, climate and conditions, and much more likely to become a 
permanently standard sort with American gardeners than that widely 
advertised variety. Australian Yellow Globe onion is especially worthy | 
of trial on account of earliness, weight, table quality and as a keeper. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; VY potnd, 40 cents; pound, $1.25. 
OHIO 
YELLOW GLOBE 
ONION. 
Until very recently 
this onion has only been 
known to a limited ex- 
tent 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 are excellent 
winter keepers. It is re- 
ported that 800 bushels 
of Ohio Yellow Globe 
onions have been grown 
on a single acre of good 
Jand. It is especially 
recommended for heavy 
muck land on account 
of its early maturing 
qualities. Packet, 5 cts.; 
ounce, 10 cts.;:44 pound, 
80 cts.; pound, $1.00. 
New Giant Gibraltar Onion. 
Giant Gibraltar Onion is a beautiful globe-sShaped variety with a thin | 
skin of light straw color. The flesh is white, mild and sweet, and the 
onion makes a large and quick growth from spring-sown seeds. It

than Prizetaker, but larger and milder. It is not a good keeper, but for 
summer or autumn use it cannot be surpassed for delicious flavor. It 
is unexcelled for bunching purposes. It is the one of all onions to be 
grown as a Spanish onion; that is, for the fancy trade, including fruit 
stand display and extra choice market purposes. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 4 pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50.
