The Prize Taker Onion. 



YELLOW GLOBE DAN VERS. -This is an im- 

 mense cropper, and will yield more marketable 

 onions to the acre than most other kinds. Our 

 strain of Danvers is equal to any, and may be re- 

 lied on as a first class cropper. Its points of super- 

 ior;:;- are earliness in ripening, perfect globe shape, 

 and smallness of the neck ; the 

 colored, and largest cropper of any of the 

 onions. Pkt. 5c ; oz. 15c. ; quarter-pour. o

 of all the varieties. Pkt. 5c ; oz. 20c. ; quarter-
