NEW ONION SEED. We offer none but new seed of all varieties, grown from selected bulbs and critically tested. It 
is of strong germination and will produce grand crops. 
We caution onion growers against old seed which will be offered by 
unscrupulous parties, as the crops of some varieties were short the past season, and much old seed will be sold as new. 
Yellow Globe Danvers. (Sce cut. ) eae 
A standard sort and one of the most de- 
sirable ; an excellent keeper and very pro- 
ductive. Our strain of this variety is the 
true globe shape, and not of the flat type. 
Onion growers throughout the country pre- 
fer this type of onion to all others, and it 
is with this in view that the bulbs from 
which our seed is grown are specially and 
carefully selected as to shape. It is the 
best paying onion that is grown for general 
crop, and will be the leading variety for 
years. Oz., 10 cts.; ¥% Ib., 35 cts.; Ib., 
$1.10; 5 lbs. or more, at $1.00 per Ib.

globular-shaped yellow- variety, very pro- 
ductive, of mild flavor. This is also a 
favorite variety with the onion grower. The 
outer skin is a beautiful pale yellow; the 
bulbs are of a beautiful globe shape, and 
good keepers. The Connecticut-grown seed 
of this variety is far better than that grown 
in other sections, and will produce larger 
and better crops. Oz., 15 cts.; 4% Ib.,

introduction, and its extraordinary keeping qualities have made 
it a favorite variety with those who have planted it. The 
bulbs grow to good marketable size and are very hard and 
solid. They ripen earlier than either the yellow Danvers or 
Red Wethersfield, are beautiful brown color and mild flavor. 
A good thing in their favor is the fact that the crop runs uniform

When better known, this variety will be used extensively by 
onion growers, as its good keeping qualities are bound to make 
a favorable impression. Oz., loc.; 1 lb., 35c.; lb., $1.15.

grows larger, and the onions always meet with a ready
