 OOUinpOri ivea VilOUe ly command an extra price in New 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. The Southport Red Globe is of medium size, spherical, with small neck, 



very deep, rich red color and of superior quality. We 



offer a strain of exceptionally fine color and excellent 



quality; much superior to that usually sold. Pkt. 5c;

 brown; flesh white, mild and tender. It is one of the best 

 of the large Euro-

The Danvers Onion 

 was originally 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. We have by careful 

 selection and breeding developed a strain which has to a 

 remarkable degree the ripening habit and small neck of 

 the original Danvers and yet is decidedly more globular 

 in form, thus giving larger yields and handsomer bulbs 

 without sacrificing any of tlie good qualities of the most 

 popular of yellow onions. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 35c; 3 Oz. 40c;

Michigan Yellow Globe ^l^rcoSXIi 



yields largest crop of any yellow onion. The heaviest 

 yield of onions is always obtained from 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 lo- 

 cated on such lands, we have developed this variety. 

 The bulbs ai'e large and uniformly spherical, with very 

 small necks; the largest diameter below the center of 

 the bulb; of a rich, orange-yellow color; enormous yielders 

 and splendid keepers. No onion grower can afford to 

 plant inferior seed when such as this can be procured.
