 brown or light yellow -with slight tinge of brown. The 

 flesh is creamy white, very mild, tender and of excellent 

 flavor. The variety keeps well if thoroughly ripened and 

 is very desirable for shippijig for fall and early winter 

 use. It is one of the best of the large European sorts 

 that has become thoroughly acclimated in America 

 and is exceptionally productive under proper conditions. 

 If started v^ry early in hotbed it will produce a mam- 

 moth onion the first season. (Sold out) 



Yellow Danvers 



"V 11 /^l U r* One of the most extensively used 



Yellow ValObe l/anvers main crop yel low 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. We 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 without sacrificing any 

 of the good qualities of the original Danvers. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 60c; 

 2 Oz. $1.00; V4 Lb. $1.75; Lb. $6.00 



ll/l*l_* "Vli i^ii_ The heaviest yield of onions is 



iVllCnigan Yellow L»l0be 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 have developed this variety. The bulbs are large, 

 uniformly globe shaped, with small neck; shoulder usually slightly 

 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 ex- 

 cellent for shipping. No onion grower can afford to plant inferior 

 seed when such as this can be procured. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 80c;
