_ GEORGE KNOTT, Not only does it grow to a large size, but uniformly so. The shape is true globe, 
Stottville, N.Y. broad at the base, tapering sharply at the top. 
s It is so well bred that the tops dry down entirely when it ripens, leaving a clean, 
sound bulb, perfect in form, rich in color, and wonderfully solid. The outer 
skin is rather pale yellow, the flesh pure white throughout. It is extremely 
mild in flavor, very much esteemed for slicing, baking and boiling, in 
— fact, in whatever way it is prepared it is unsurpassed. (See 
engraving.) Price, 15e. pkt., 50c. oz. $1.50 % Ib., $5.00

Ailsa Craig Onion 
607. This is one of the largest of the British 
>». sorts, and is used very extensively in private 
gardens both for ordinary use and for ex- 
hibition purposes. European Onions do 
not, as a rule, grow well in America until 
thoroughly acclimated. This variety has 
proved to be an exception. and has done 
well since its first appearance here. 
Grown from seed raised under our 
supervision, it has become one of the 
largest and most useful Onions. Gar- 
deners frequently bring us very large 
specimens, grown for exhibition, five 
inches in diameter and weighing two 
pounds apiece. 
The skin is dark straw color, the flesh 
pure white, very mild in flavor, and 
always quite tender. 
We do not advise its use for keeping. 
Our Globe varieties and Prizetaker are 
better. Price, 25e. pkt., $1.00 oz.

ular Southern veg- 
etable. It is quite 
easy to grow, and 
it succeeds just
