 satisfy all who desire to grow large onions from seed. The 

 bulbs are true globe-shape, with skin of a pleasing yellow 

 color, flesh white and of a mild flavor, which will please and 

 satisfy everyone. It is not the ordinary Southport Yellow

 ductive. Our supply of seed is very limited. Oz. , 65 ets. ;

 weight, and where good soil and culture is given them they 

 will always grow to a large size. The handsome appearance 

 of this onion, together with large size, make it desirable 

 for growing for the market. Oz., 50 cts.; ^ lb., $1.55;
