A SURE PROFIT OF $500.00 PER ACRE. 



IT IS an acknowledged fact that the first early bunch Onions in market command the highest price, and the supply is never equal to the demand. Why 

 not plant that open spot in your garden with Onion Sets and reap the golden harvest which awaits you for the eflorts. The several varieties, or each 

 variety, may be planted fcr succession. Buckbee's Improved Top being the earliest variety, should be planted in the majority. Egyptian, or Peren- 

 nial Iree, comes in next; then follow m rapid order Red, Yellow and White Bottom Sets, Buckbee's New White Potato, New Whito Multiplier, New Yellow 

 Potato and bhaliots, or Yellow Multipliers. Soon after the latter-named sort is ready for market the young Seed Onions will also be ready. Just see what 

 an advantage you will have over your neighbors by planting my superior varieties of Onion Sets. Success awaits you. Is it not worth while to be up and at it ? 



BUCKBEE'S IMPROVED TOP SETS— By far the most BOTTOM 

 superior variety. Mr. Minckler, the leading market gardener of Osh- 

 kosh, Wis., writes: "I consider the Improved Top Sets far ahead 

 of any other variety. They are the best Onions to eat, will yield at least 

 one-third more and ripen much earlier than any of the Seed Onions. I 

 shall plantthem for my main crop next season." Itisthe best keeper 

 that I know of, having kept perfectly solid for over a year. I should 

 advise you to order early, as my stock is sure to be exhausted before the 

 season is over. Give this variety a trial. Postpaid, pt. 20c; qt. 

 35c. 



. ONION SETS. 



These are the product of seed and are used for "green Onions" or to pro- 

 duce large Onions, which they do much quicker than can be grown from seed. 

 Our sets are very choice, small and dry. See the three varieties 

 of Bottom Onion Sets quoted below— "White, Red and Yellow. 



New White Multiplier— One of the most popular varieties, and in some 

 markets sells in preference to all others. Extremely early and a very 

 fine keeper; valuable for both home and market purposes. You cannot 

 possibly be disappointed with it, and will make a mistake if you fail to 

 include it in your order. Postpaid, pt. 18c; qt. 30c. 



BUCKBEE'S NEW WHITE POTATO SETS— Of pure 



silvery white color, producing 20 bulbs in a cluster from a single bulb 

 planted; of excellent quality and size for bunching green; can be 

 ripened for use as pickling Onions; for this latter purpose can be more 

 economically grown than from seed. Keeps for a year. Its most im- 

 portant quality is its earliness, being ready for market several weeks 

 ahead of the rest. Postpaid, pt. 20c; qt. 35c. 

 New Yellow Potato Sets — Identical to the above except color, which is 

 of a rich straw yellow. . They produce large, drv, ripe Onions 

 earlier than any.other kind. Postpaid, pt. 18c; qt. 30c. 



Shallots, or Yellow Multipliers— A very desirable variety and resem- 

 bles the White Multiplier, except in color, which is of a very rich straw 

 shade. You will be pleased with results by planting: this 

 variety. Postpaid, pt. 15c; qt. 25c. 



Egyptian, or Perennial Tree Sets— This variety never forms a large 

 bulb. Specially adapted for producing green Onions for spring or fall 

 use. Are immensely productive and perfectly hardy. Being perennial, 

 they will, if left in the ground, continue growing for an indefinite time, 

 increasing both from the bottom and from sets produced on top of the 

 stalk. Postpaid, pt. 12c; qt. 20c.
