exhausted. Buckbee's New Wampum — The Great Money-Maker — This grand -.lew variety, which was sent out for trial in 1898, has

 globe, of a dark straw color. The flesh is a beautiful white, of excellent flavor. Many Southern planters are realizing very large 

 returns from this valuable Onion. Great quantities are always on hand in the Southern markets. At the great French market at 

 New Orleans this is the favorite, and none of the commission dealers care to handle any other sort. Is in the market early and the 

 supply has never yet equaled the demand for this favorite vegetable. The Best Onion for Southern Markets. Choicest seed of my own

,.,^„— £ ustralian Brown Onion ™S l £p,„ 



The Most VaSuabEe 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. Every seed seems to produce a good-sized 

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

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

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

 ripened off more uniformly. From ils 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, 

 purchasc-s will most likely call again for "those beautiful 

 brown .jnions Pkt. 4c; ©z. 7c; 2 oz, 12c; U lb.
