HENDERSON'S LARGE RED WETHERSFIELD is a 

 grand red variety and a general favorite. With 

 the exception of the Yellow Globe Danvers, there 

 is no variety so largely grown. Our stock is excellent, 

 being saved from only carefully selected bulbs, and will 

 invariably grow to a large size under proper conditions, 

 quite free from necky and misshapen bulbs. The surface 

 color is a rich dark red. It is an early variety to mature 

 and a fine keeper. The flavor is good and mild, admirable 

 for boiling. {See cut.) 10c. oz., 30c. \ lb., 90c. lb. (10 lbs. 

 and over at 85c. lb.) 



" / can get seeds right here, but I must say tliey are not to be compared to 

 yours. Your Onion Seed is excellent, the best I have ever used. I can raise 

 double with your seed than my neighbors can with same amount of seed from 

 other people. I have raised 1,400 bushels of your Red Wethersfield Onion to the 

 acre. —JAMES W. HANDLEY, Claremont, N. H. . 



" I like your stock of Large Red Wethersfield Onion better than any other. 1

The Grandest Variety Grown 

 for the American Climate. 



EXCELS IN YIELD— EXCELS IN SIZE 



Its Mildness of Flavor and Tenderness Are Unequaled 

 Even by the Bermuda Varieties. 



THE PRIZETAKER ONION is recognized as one 

 of our best standard varieties. It succeeds 

 everywhere — east, west, north and south — and 

 whether grown for home use or for marketing it 

 gives universal satisfaction, yielding onions often 

 14 inches around and at the rate of 1,200 to 1,500 

 bushels per acre — often much more under excep- 

 tionally good culture. Its immense size and mild- 

 ness of flavor delight everyone who raisesl'it. 

 Nothing short of actual knowledge of this variety 

 will convey a really adequate idea of its great 

 value, whether considered as a variety for com- 

 mercial or private culture. Its immense size will 

 recommend it to all, particularly when it is known 

 that its keeping qualities are unexcelled. The 

 exterior color is pale yellow, and the interior 

 clear sparkling white. It is medium early in 

 maturing. {See cut.) 15c. oz., 35c. i lb., $1.10 

 lb. (10 lbs. and upwards, $1.00 lb.) 



" / cannot speak too highly of your ' Prizetaker ' Onion, which 

 yielded at the rate of 1,200 bushels per acre. They were perfect in 

 shape and very large, many specimens reaching^ 16 to 18 inches 

 in circumference, one in particular being 181 inches around. I 

 desire to compliment you for the true merit all your seed possesses." 

 JAMES TORRANCE, Oreana, Idaho. 



" / planted your ' Prizetaker ' Onion last spring, the yield was 

 immense, at least double that of yellow Globe Danvers, grown 

 under same conditions." 



S. GRAFF, Johnstown, N. Y. 



WHITE PORTUGAL, or SILVER SKIN. 



THE LEADING WHITE FLAT ONION. A 

 most excellent keeper and good yielder. The 

 color is a beautiful silvery-whits when cured under cover. Its shape is flat but symmetrical. For a white variety it is 

 not only early, but a good keeper. It is more largely grown for sets than any other white variety, and is also largely used for pickles 

 when sown three or four times as thick as usual . Connecticut-grown Seed, 20c. oz., 60c. } lb., $2.00 lb. (10 lbs. and upwards, $1.90 lb.)
