O IN I O IN— Continued 



York markets because of their beautiful shape and color, due partly to the 



variety grown and partly to the favorable soil and the extra care taken in 



handling the crop. This variety is of medium size, spherical, 



with small neck, very deep, rich red color, and of superior 



quality. We offer a strain of especially good quality and much 



superior to that usually sold. Pkt. 5c: Oz. loc: 2 Oz. 25c;

/YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS ^^S>n''^^\%Il 



\ inally oval or nearly flat, and it has been thought 

 by many that its small neck and splendid ripening 

 habit could only be obtained in onions of that 

 shape, but we have by careful selection and breed- 

 ing developed a strain having to a remarkable de- 

 gree the ripening habit and small neck of the orig- 

 inal Dan vers, and yet decidedly more globular in 

 form, thus giving larger yields and handsomer 

 bulbs without sacrificing any of the good qualities 

 of the most popular of yellow onions. Pkt. 5c;

MICHIGAN YELLOW GLOBE SfcU^Td 



yields largest crop of any yellow onion. The 

 largest crops of onions are always produced on rich, 

 black lands. On such soils it is found that a globe 

 shaped onion with a somewhat flattened base gives 

 the largest returns, and to meet the demands of 

 the professional onion growers located on such 

 lands, we have developed this variety. The bulbs 

 are large and uniformly spherical, with very small 

 necks, the largest diameter below the center of the 

 bulb; of a rich orange-yellow color; enormous

AllQtrtflliAII Rmwn a variety which has become very popular in Callfor- 

 rtUoliaiiail UlUnil ^ia, because of its good keeping qualities which are, 

 however, more marked in that climate than in the eastern 

 states. The medium sized bulb is nearly spherical, being 

 slightly flattened; reddish-brown in color and very hard; 

 rather strong flavored. Pkt. 5c; Oz.lOc; 2 Oz.l5c; % Lb. 25c;

V Mammoth Yellow Spanish, or Prizetaker 



A very handsome onion of the largest size and nearly globu- 

 lar in form. Skin is yellowish-brown; flesh white, 

 mild and tender. It is one of the best of the large, 

 European sorts. If started very early in hot-beds 

 it will produce a mammoth onion the first season.

 shaped bulbs. The flesh is firm, fine grained and of 

 mild flavor. Sometimes called Southport White 

 Globe. To produce the beautifully white onions so 

 much sought in every market, one must first of all 

 have good seed. Second, grow them well on rich 

 lands. Third, exercise great care in harvesting and 

 curing the crop. In Southport they "cord" up the 

 onions in long rows, the bulbs on the inside, and 

 cover with boards so that the bulbs in the open air 

 are well protected from rain or dew which would 

 be sure to discolor them. We have by years of care- 

 ful selection and breeding developed a strain which
