New customers should remember that Buckbee's Reliable Onion Seed is grown 

 onlv from carefully prepared hand sorted and selected bulbs, is always of a 

 high germinating quality and of unusual vigor of growth, by reason of its super- 

 lative vitality. My Onion Seed has has an excellent reputation in every prominent 

 Onion-growing district in the country, and is unsurpassed by any other house in the 

 trade, and in many sections is planted to the exclusion of all other strains. I am 

 determined as usual to furnish my customers the very choicest strictly fine stock: 

 seeds that grow. Varieties with medals by the score for superior quality. 

 Vouchers by the thousands as the most satisfactory strains for largest cash re-

 variety ask for special price. I can save you money on every deal. Over one 

 hundred thousand customers are with me. Buckbee's Great Pedigree

Australian Brown Onion 



The Most Valuable Variety Intro* 

 duced In a Generation. 



The Australian Brown Onion Is of medium size, wonder- 

 fully hard and solid, and most attractive for market, both as 

 to form and appearance. They are extremely early In ripen- 

 ing, and never make any stiff-necks or scallions. Every seed 

 seems to produce a good-sized onion, and the bulb begins to 

 form very qulekly— when the plant Is not over 3 inches nigh. 

 The Coming Onion. 



EXTRA EARLY LONG KEEPING. 



Planted at the same time as Red Wethersfield it proved to 

 be nearly 4 weeks earlier and ripened off more uniformly. 

 From its firmness and hardness, it will keep In good condition 

 longer than any other Onion known. The color of the skin is 

 clear, amber brown. So widely contrasted from any other 

 Onion Is this color that it will be noticed on market, and when 

 once bought.purchaser's will most likely call again for "those 

 beautiful brown Onions." My own growth, choicest northern grown, 

 high grade pedigree stock seed. Pkt. 3c. ; 6oz. o. °, 2 oz 10c. ; H lb. 18c ; 

 Vt lb 30c. ; lb. 68c
