BUCKBEE'S NEW GOLDEN GLOBE DANVERS— Proved 

 the best Onion in the world— This is the most perfect 

 type of the globe shaped Onion ever offered. I have 

 been years in perfecting this strain, carefully select- 

 ing the most perfect type of bulbs for seed stock. so 

 that now I have an Onion entirely dilTerent from 

 the Yellow Globe Danvers. It ripens early, has a 

 very small neck, the entire crop dying down at one 

 time. It is an immense cropper and will yield more 

 marketable onions to the acre than any strain I am 

 acquainted with. Trial tests have shown this great 

 variety to yield over 2,000 bushels per acre, while 

 onder ordinary cultivation the past season, thous- 

 ands of my customers have reported yields of over 

 1,000 bushels per acre. Remember that I control the entire sup- 

 ply of this variety , and the Stock Seed that I offer is My Own Growth.
