ar ©UK Pedigree 



There is no vegetable in which the quality of the seed exerts a greater influence upon the crop than 

 in onions. Our stock is all grown from choice bulbs, selected by hand, and is unsurpassed in this 

 country. During our whole business career as seedsmen, it has always been our aim to make quality a 

 first consideration, price afterwards, and in no one crop have we met with greater reward for our eff"orts 

 than in onions, the demand for our seed having increased so rapidly that we have been obliged to 

 largely increase our facilities for growing every year for sevei'al years past. 



One ounce will sow one hundred feet of driil. To grow large onions from seed, five pounds to the 

 acre ; to grow small sets, fifty to sixty pounds to the acre are required. For full information for culture, 

 storage and marketing onions and onion sets, see our New Leaflet- Essays on this subject, which will 

 be sent free with all orders for onion seed, when requested.

Do Not Confound with the Ordinary Yellow Globe Danvers of Other Growers

 onions, the very best strain in cultivation. It is the earliest yellow globe variety, large in size, uni- 

 formly perfect in shape and the largest cropper, producing from seed 1,000 bushels to the acre with 

 good cultivation. It is also the most reliable for bottoming, and one of the best keepers of all Ameri- 

 can Onions. Prices, new crop, Pedigree Tested Seed, grown from selected hand-picked bulbs ; Pkt.,
