STOKES SEEDS MOUNTAIN DANVERS ONION 



The earliest maturing, best keeping onion of the Yellow Danvers type 



Days to maturity, 100. This is the fourth year we have offered Mountain Danvers. 

 and each season we are more enthusiastic over its great qualities, for it has proven 

 its way under almost all conditions including Ontario, the muck sections of northern 

 New York, the onion growers of New Jersey, in Florida and in Texas. If you have 

 never tried our strain of Mountain Danvers we urge that you do so without another 

 year's delay. This strain is grown privately for us on the Western slope of the Rocky 

 Mountains' at an elevation of 5,000 feet and has established itself firmly with thf 

 large commercial growers. The fact that it will mature a hard, uniform bulb fulK 

 ten davs ahead of Yellow Globe Danvers is of great importance to those who seek 



to take ad\antage of the early markets or who have at times lost a part of the crop 

 on a short season. The factor of earliness in Mountain Danvers is partly due to the 

 high altitude and partly due to the fifteen years of careful selection by our grower. 

 The illustration on this page gives a definite idea of the type which is a medium globe. 

 Mountain Danvers has been saved from selected bulbs which were grown definitely 

 for seed purposes. This is in no sense by-product seed and must not be confused 

 with such stock that can be sold at much cheaper prices. Our strain shows a high 

 purit> both in type and color.

WHITE PORTUGAL OR 

 SILVERSKIN 



Days to maturity, 100. This is an exceptionally pure 

 stock of the Silverskin type. Its mild flavor and clear 

 white skin will make it a general favorite. The bulb will 

 develop to about 3 inches in diameter with a depth of 1 ) 2 

 inches. It is the mildest Onion we offer and is a favorite 

 for pickling and for bunch green Onions when young. It 

 is perhaps the best keeper of the White Onions and for 

 Fall and early Winter use it is particularly recommended. 



YELLOW BERMUDA 



Days to maturit>. U.S. Every year we are selling larger 

 quantities of Yellow Bermuda onion, a fact which is no doubt 

 accounted for by the great care we exercise in securing seed 

 of the greatest color purit\ and of the highest germination. 

 .Although Yellow Bermuda is sometimes called White Ber 

 muda, it is in fact a straw -colored onion. Our see.l is imported 

 directly from Santa Cruz dr Tenr-riffc. Canary Islands. Wc
