Yellow Globe Danvehs 



V 11 /^l 1_ r\ One of the most extensively used 



lellOWLilObe Llanvers main crop yellow onions for the 

 home garden and market. The bulbs are of medium to large 

 size, uniformly globe shaped, with small neck, and ripen very 

 evenly. The skin is rich coppery yellow. The flesh is creamy 

 white, crisp and of mild and excellent flavor. The variety keeps 

 very well and is excellent for shipping. AVe have by careful 

 selection and breeding developed a strain which has the ripening 

 habit and small neck of the original Danvers and yet is more 

 globular, thus giving larger yields and handsomer bulbs \nthout 

 sacrificing any of the good qualities of the original Danvers.

Hyi* I-' 'V II r^\ I. The heaviest yield of onions is 



Michigan Yellow Valobe 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 located on 

 such lands, we ha^'e developed this variety. The bulbs are large, 

 uniformly globe shaped, with small neck; shoulder usually slishtly 

 sloping, base often distinctly flattened, the largest diameter below 

 the center of the bulb. The color is rich yellow with tinge of 

 orange. The flesh is creamy white, mild and of very fine quality. 

 This main crop sort ripens down evenly, keeps very well and is 

 excellent for shipping. No onion grower can att'ord to plant inferior 

 seed when such as this can be procured. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c;
