MAMMOTH PRIZE TAKER. This has

 hard. An excellent onion for the market and home 

 garden. Our seed is the genuine American grown.

 AUSTRALIAN BROWN. This variety is 

 of medium size, wonderfully hard and solid, and 

 most attractive for market. They are extremely 

 early in ripening, and never make any stiff-necks 

 or scallions. Every seed seems to produce a good- 

 sized onion, and the bulb begins to form very 

 quickly. It has the reputation of keeping indefi- 

 nitely, and we think from its firmness and hardness 

 that it will keep in good condition longer than 

 any other onion known. The color of the skin is 

 a clear amber-brown, and when once bought, pur- 

 chasers will be likely to return and call again for 

 "those beautiful brown onions." Per pkt. 5 cts., 

 oz. 15 els., V4 lb. 45 cts., lb. $1.50.
