 Challenging Competition, 



Long Keeper— Best Shipper— Unrivaled Market Onion. 



This is the most perfect tvpe 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 1 have an Onion entirely different 

 from the Yellow Globe Danvers. It ripens early, has a v>_ — 

 small neck, the entire crop drying down at one time. 

 It is an immense cropper and will yield more market- 

 able Onions to the acre than any strain I am acquainted 

 with. Trial tests have shown this great variety to yield 

 over 2.0C0 bushels per acre, while under ordinary cultiva- 

 tion the past season, thousands of my customers have reported 

 yields of 1 000 bushels per acre. Remember that I control the 

 entire supply of this variety. My own growth Choicest Northern
