SOUTHPORT GLOBE ONION SEED 



STOKES' SUPERIOR CONNECTICUT-CROWN SEED 



The eastern-grown Onion seed is superior to the western in that it makes a 

 harder, better- keeping Onion. The western growers have to come East to get 

 their bulbs on account of this characteristic. The seed I offer is highly bred from 

 carefully selected bulbs of the true round globe variety, and will please the most 

 critical trade.
