EXTRA EARLY, 



LONG-KEEPING 



The Most Valuable Variety Introduced in a Generation. 



The Australian Brown Onion is of medium size, wonderfully hard 

 and solid, and most attractive for market, both as to form and ap- 

 pearance. They are extremely early in ripening, and never make any 

 stiff-necks or scallions. ICvery seed seems to produce a good-sized 

 Onion, and the bulb begins to form very quickly — when the plant is 

 ■Dot over 3 inches high. The Coming Onion. Planted at the same 

 time as Red Wethersfield it proved to be nearly 4 weeks earlier and 

 ripened off more uniformly. From its firmness and hardness, 

 it will keep in good condition longer than any other Onion 

 known. The color of the skin is a clear, amber brown. 

 So widely contrasted from any other Onion is this color 

 that it will be noticed on market, and when once bought, 

 purchasers will most likely call again for "those beautiful 

 brown Onions." Pkt. 4c: oz. 8c; 2 oz. 15c; u lb. 28c; 

 Vt lb. 50c. ; lb, 90c.
