Buckbee's New Golden Globe Danvers. 



This is the most perfect type of the globe-shaped 

 Onion ever offered. I have been years in perfecting 

 this strain, carefully selecting the most perfect type 

 of bulbs for seed stock, so that now I have an Onion 

 entirely different 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 crop- 

 per and will yield more marketable onions to the 

 acre than any strain I am acquainted with. 



PROVED THE BEST ONION IN THE WORLD. 

 Trial tests have shown this great variety to yield 

 over 2,000 bushels per acre, while under ordinary cul- 

 tivation the past season, thousands of my customers have reported 

 yields of 1.000 bushels per acre. Remember that I control the en- 

 tire supply of this variety, and the Stock Seed That I Offer Is My

DANVERS) 



Buckbee's Round, or Yellow Flat Danvers. 



Magnificent sort in every way. After years of careful selection 

 I have a strain of tliis popular sort that is seemingly perfect. Re- 

 liability for bottoming and large yield are combined in this popu- 

 lar Danvers variety. It is very handsome in appearance, round 

 in shape though thick through, of fine size, in fact is ideal in every 

 respect for market and family purposes, skin is thin, of a rich 

 straw color. Flesh is pearly white, fine grained, firm, mild, and 

 of excellent quality. It ripens exceedingly early, keeps well and 

 sells readily. I also consider this variety one of the very best for 

 growing sets. You will not be disappointed in the results by 

 planting Buckbee's Round, or Yellow Danvers Onion, either for 

 familv, market or shipping purposes. Select Stock Seed My Ows

 mild and very early. It is a gi'and, magnificent keeper. In many sec- 

 tions it will find ready sale at much higher prices than any other variety; 

 frequently produces 800 bushels or more to the acre, from seed the first 

 year. I control the best stock of this celebrated variety. Selected Seed

GOOD ONION SEED IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE. 



Fully rpnlizinp this, we make a Specialty of the Best Onion 5eed. A 



dollar suved on the purchase of the seed is likely to be lost many times 

 over when the bulbs are harvested. The first cost of the seed is a com- 

 paratively small item as compared with the e.xpense involved in tha 



F roper preparation, fertilizing, and cultivation of the soil. The cost is 

 ully as fjreat. and frequently more cultivation is reqired to raise a crop 

 of inferior bulbs from poor "seed than to harvest a crop of fine, evenly 

 ripened bulba from a good strain of seed. Our Onion Seed is grown 

 only from choice selected bulbs, examined critically before Ijeing 

 set, out to produce seed. In quality, it is vastly superior to any 

 that is put on the market.
