The Greatest of All Early Red Onions 



BUCKBEE'S PEDIGREE LARGE RED WETHERSFIELD 



MY LEADING SPECIALTY. 



One of the chief departments of my seed growing business consists of growing Buckbee's Pedigree Red Wethersfield Onion for seed purposes 

 only. My stock has reached such a high point of merit that it is a household word everywhere that '"Buckbee's Pedigree Red Wethersfield Onion 

 Seed is the most reliable and produces more good marketable Onions per acre than any other offered." And, from the many thousands of un- 

 solicited testimonials which I have received from all over the country, I have every reason to believe that the time which I personally spend in my 

 Onion fields is truly appreciated by my many thousands of customers who stand by me and say: "Buckbee's Seeds Are Full of Life." 



There aie many strains of this justly celebrated Onion offered, but I venture to say none that can surpass Buckbee's Prize Medal Stock 

 of this famous variety. The various strains, good, bad and indifferent, that are generally offered the unwary planter, come to maturity all the 

 way from August up until as late as October. This unreliability of cropping is very disastrous to most localities. 



THE GREATEST OF ALL RED ONIONS. 



The seed which I am offering is of the earliest form, grown from hand-sorted bulbs that will produce very large Onions of immense size; to 

 2J-pound Onions from seed the first year are of frequent occurrence. Buckbee's Red Wethersfield grows with unusual regularity, scallions being 

 unknown. It is a magnificent keeper. An enormous cropper. 700 to 1,000 bushels have frequently been raised upon a single acre. I have re- 

 ceived many letters from my customers stating their yields to be over 1,000 bushels per acre the past season. The shape is accurately shown in the 

 illustration above. In color the skin is a deep rich, purplish red, while the flesh is of a beautiful white, finely grained and of good flavor. My cus- 

 tomers throughout the country endorse it as the be.st Red Onion thev have grown. .•irot— .
