Mountain Danvers 



An extremely early and very uniform type of Yellow Globe Danvers 



Days to maturity, 100. We take special pleasure in offering Mountain Danvers. This seed has been 

 grown for us on the western slope of Colorado, at an elevation of 5,000 feet. 1 1 is the result of fourteen years' 

 effort to produce a type of Onion which would mature in the comparatively short seasons of the high alti- 

 tudes. The result is that a very valuable type has been developed for Onion-growers in all districts. Tests 

 show that this Onion will mature at least a week earlier than Yellow Globe Danvers, from which the selec- 

 tion originally came. Taken year in and year out, it is a much surer crop type than the late-maturing sorts. 

 The bulbs are a flat medium globe shape, absolutely uniform in color and type, and the necks are very thin. 

 The bulb itself is very solid and has excellent Iceeping and shipping qualities. Mountain Danvers is recom- 

 mended as an extra-early sort to all Onion-growers, and especially to our customers in the more northerly 

 districts. Some growers have had the impression that Mountain Danvers was not quite as large as Yellow 

 Globe Danvers, and under certain conditions that may be true. On the other hand, yields of 600 sacks per 

 acre are not unusual. This stock is offered as a very superior product. Price, delivered: Pkt. 10 cts. ; oz. 

 25 cts.; y 4 lb. 85 cts.; lb. $3; 5 lbs. or more, $2.75 per lb. 



Mountain Red Globe 



A pure, extra-early strain of Southport Red Globe 



Days to maturity, 105. This stock is the result of seven years' careful selection by the same grower who 

 developed Mountain Danvers. Having been acclimated to a climate of 5,000 feet elevation, it has now been 

 developed as an extra-early type of Southport. Its purity of color and shape, its thin neck, and its uniform 

 size make it an invaluable type for the commercial Onion-grower. It will mature within a few days of 

 Mountain Danvers. This stock is also highly recommended for set-growing. In a short, unfavorable growing 

 season it will considerably outyield the older Southport. Price, delivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; y^b. 

 85 cts.; lb. $3; 5 lbs. or more, $2.75 per lb. 



Mammoth Yellow Prizetaker 



The well-known large Spanish variety 



Days to maturity, 115. This Onion was introduced by Johnson & Stokes in 1887 as Spanish King Prize- 

 taker. At that time it was of European origin. When fully matured, this variety will normally reach a 

 diameter of 4 inches and, under special cultivation, will weigh as much as 5 pounds. For fall and early 

 winter use, it is highly recommended. The color of the outside skin is a rich yellow, while the inside flesh is 

 white, mild, and sweet. As a winter keeper it may be classed with the Southport types. Price, delivered: 

 Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; l/ 4 lb. 85 cts.; lb. $3; 5 lbs. or more, $2.75 per lb.
