EGYPTIAN, or PERENNIAL TREE SETS— This 



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

 variety. Mr. Minckler, the leading market gardener of Oshkosh, 

 ~\Yis., 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 plant them for my main crop next season/' It is 

 the 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.

John Lauritzen, Victor, Idaho, writes: "Your 

 seeds do splendidly in this high altitude, which is over 

 6,zoo feet above sea level. Our summer seasons here 

 are very short, so that I intend to try planting onions 

 this year for next year's crop. Will always use Buck- 

 bee's, seeds and recommend them to my neighbors." 



J. E. Swartwood, Sciota, Penn., writes; "I was 

 greatly pleased with the ■new varieties of seed that you 

 sent me free for experimental purposes; they are deserv- 

 ing of general use by all persons interested in the best
