BUOKBEB'S "FULI^ OH UIFB" OINIOIN SBTS 



I prepay charges on Onion Sets by the pint and quart. Quantities of J bushel, bushel, bushel, 1 bushel, or more, 



will be shipped by express or freight at purchaser's expense. 



ABOUT PRICES ON ONION SETS— In order to get 

 ray Catalogue out on time, I have to go to press with 

 some of the pages (this Onion Set Page is one of them) 

 in September. While I shall try to maintain present 

 catalog quotations, I cannot guarantee them through- 

 out the season as they are subject to market fluctua- 

 tions. 



BOTTOM ONION SETS 



These are the prorluct of seed and are used for "Green 

 Onions" or to produce large Onions, which they do much 

 quicker than can be grown from seeds. 



Our Bottom Sets are very small, clean and dry and 

 are sold at the rate of 32 pounds to the bushel. 



FOR LARGE ONIONS— Bottom Onion Sets produce an 

 Onion ready for market or the household from four to 

 six weeks earlier than can be done by sowing the seed 

 and the product of the set is identical with that of the 

 seed. This gives the market gardener ample time to sell 

 his entire crop at the early high prices and permits the 

 sowing of another crop on the land the same year. 



FOR GREEN ONIONS — Onion Sets produce good green 

 or Spring Onions on any soil in half the time 

 It takes to raise these from seed. Every 

 private garden should contain a sowing of sets

 and large eating Onions. Tuis variety increases by produc- 

 ing sets at the top of the stalk and does not produce seed. 

 We sell this variety at the rate of 28 lbs. per bushel. By 

 far the most superior variety. Mr. Minckler, the leading 

 market gardener of Oshkosh, Wis., writes: "I consider the 

 Improved Top .Sets lar ahead of any other variety for early 

 Green Bunch Onions. They are the best Onions to eat, v. ill 

 yield at least one-third more and ripen much earUer than 

 other Onions. I shaU plant them for my main crop ne\i 

 season." It is the best keeper that I know of, having kejit 

 perfectly solid for over a year. 1 should advise

 them. Plant 2 inches deep. S inches apart in the row, and keep the

_ SPANISH PEANUT 



This is an excellent forage plant for light land in dry, hot seasons. The tops are cut and cured for hay just 

 before frost. The plants also set a large crop of the small nuts which makes an excellent fattening food for hogs 

 and the hogs mav be pastured on the land after the hay has been gathered. The huts mature much earlier than 

 the larger Southern varieties. For domestic use these can be grown in garden Uke bush beans. Large packet. Sc.
