ONIONS Continued 



Lar^e Red 



Wethersfield 



THIS IS THE STANDARD RED VARIETY 



and a favorite onion in the East, 

 where immense crops are grown 

 for shipment. Large; skin deep 

 purpUsh-red; form round, some- 

 what flattened; flesh purphsh- 

 white; moderately fine grained, 

 and stronger flavored than any 

 of the other kinds. Very produc- 

 tive, the Best ^Keeper, and one 

 of the Most Popular for General 

 Cultivation. It is more incUned 

 to form large necks if planted on 

 unsuitable soil than the Danvers, 

 but is the best variety on poor or 

 dry soils. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c;

Large Red Wethersfield, 

 The ideal Danvers onion was originally oval 

 or nearly flat, and it has been thought by 

 many that its small neck and splendid ripen- 

 ing habit could only be obtained in onions of 

 that shape, but we have by careful selection 

 and breeding, developed a strain 

 having to a remarkable degree the 

 ripening habitand small neck of the 

 original Danvers. and yet decidedly 

 more globular in form, thus giving 

 larger yields and handsomer bu'bs 

 without sacriflcing any of the good 

 qualities of the most popular of 

 yellow onions. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 15c;

&outhport Red Globe... 



The onions from Southport, Conn., generally com- 

 mand an extra price in the New York markets, because 

 of their beautiful shape and color,due partly to the variety 

 grown and partly to the favorable soil and extra care taken 

 " handling the crop. This variety is of medium size, spheri- 

 cal, with small neck, very deep, rich red 

 color, and of superior quality. We offer 

 a strain of especially good qual- 

 ity and much superior to that 

 usually sold. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 26c;

OR PRIZETAKER 



A very handsome onion of the 

 largest size and nearly globular 

 in form. Skin is yellowish-brown; 

 flesh white, mild and tender. It is 

 one of the best of the large Euro- 

 pean sorts. If started very early 

 in hot beds it will produce 

 mammoth onion the first 



season. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c;

soils it is found that a globe 

 shaped onion with a some- 

 what flattened base gives 

 the largest I'eturns, and to 

 meet the demands of the 

 professional onion growers 

 located on such lands, we 

 have developed this variety. 

 The bulbs are large and uni- 

 form ly spherical, with very 

 small necks and the largest 

 diameter below the center 

 of the bulbs; of a rich or- 

 ange-yellow color; enor- 

 mous yielders and splendid 

 keepers. No onion grower 

 can afford to plant inferior 

 seed when such as this 

 can be procured.

A large, flat onion of mild flavor and great beauty, its 

 clear white skin glistening like silver. A favorite with many 

 for use when young as a salad or bunching onion, and for 

 pickles; it is also a good keeper and fine for fall and early 

 winter use. An excellent sort for gardeners who do not care 

 to plant more than one variety. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 66c;

77IKit/> £2i1aH/> Yields abundantly, producing handsome 

 Wl/llv UIVv^ and uniformly globe shaped bulbs. The 

 flesh is flrm, 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 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 

 are well protected in the open air from rain or dew, which 

 would be sure to discolor them. We have by years of careful 

 selection and breeding developed a strain which has no equal 

 in uniformity and beauty of shape and color. Pkt. 6c;
