Yellow Globe Danvers 



V-ll- f1 I. T\ One of the most extensively

 onions. Bvilbs of medium to large size, uniformly globe 

 shaped, with small neck, and ripen very evenly. Skin rich 

 coppery yellow; flesh creamy wliite, crisp, and of mild and 

 excellent flavor. Keeps very well; excellent for shipping. 

 We have by careful selection and breeding developed a strain 

 which has the ripening habit and small neck of the original 

 Danvers and yet is more globular, thus giving larger yields 

 and handsomer bulbs without sacrificing any of the good 

 qualities of the original Danvers. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c;

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, uniformly globe shaped, with small necks; 

 shoulder usually sii'-chtly sloping, base often distinctly flatten- 

 ed, the largest diameter belov/ the center of the bulb. Color 

 rich yellow with tinge of orange. Flesh creamy-white, mild 

 and of very fine quality. A main crop sort that ripens down 

 very evenly. Keeps very well and is excellent for shippihg. No 

 onion grower can afford to plant inferior seed when such as 

 this can be procured. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oa. 35c; % Lb. 60c;
