Red Wethersfield Onion 
A Leading Variety in all Sections—Produces Enormous Onions. 
Clean, Solid and Heavy. A Sure Cropper and Long Keeper. 
623. Those who prefer an Onion with an abundance of fiavor and 
who consider the extremely mild varieties insipid, will be well 
satisfied with Wethersfield. Indeed for boiling purposes such 
highly flavored sorts are pref erable, though they 
are generally considered less suitable for slicing in 
salads. This is a general favor ite everywhere, and 
is’ largely grown both for mar — ket and private use. 
It sHapes up very quickly, in suring a good supply 
during the growing season, while its keeping qual- 
ity is equal to the best. The exterior color is dark 
glossy red, and the flesh is faintly tinged with 
‘the same color. Our stock is grown from the best 
bulbs and cannot be excelled. (See engraving.) Price

White Portugal or Silver 
Skin Onion 
627. This is beyond doubt the very best 
Onion for general use during the spring, 
summer and autumn. We do not esteem it 
so highly for winter use, as it is excelled 
by other sorts for keeping purposes. But it 
is so excellent in every other respect that 
we urge every gardener to make a liberal 
sowing of White Portugal for continuous 
use, leaving the crops intended for keeping 
purposes intact. There are none that yield 
more delicious “scallions,” or young plants 
for salad purposes, none which are more 
suited to boiling during the growing season, 
and none so generally esteemed for their 
mild, delightful flavor. Should there be any 
small bulbs left in the row at the end of the 
season they may be used for pickles. Always, 
under all conditions, it is appetizing and 
wholesome. (See engraving.)

Yellow Globe Danvers Onion 
_ Attractive, Uniform Shape Mild, But Full Flavored 
- Quick to Mature Remarkably Good Keeper , 
629. This is one of the oldest American varieties, which 
takes its name from the town 
near which it was first grown, 
and has always been a general 
favorite. Its keeping quality is 
supremely good. With this ex- 
ception it cannot be said to excel 
greatly in any one particular, 
but it is so constantly good in 
all respects, that it is fully equal 
to any, and is esteemed by many 
as the one best all around Onion, 
so that the majority of those 
who grow only one sort choose 
Yellow Globe Danvers. There 
_ is a considerable variation in the 
shape of this variety as offered 
by various houses—shapes that 
vary from flat to deep oval. We 
have consistently adhered to the 
original type, which, but for a 
slight depression from top to’ 
é bottom, is a perfect sphere. The 
matter of tops has had elose at- 
tention, and are so bred that at 
maturity they disappear en- 
tirely, leaving the bulbs quite 
-without neck, clean, solid and 
good throughout. (See engrav- 
ing.) Price, 15e. pkt., 90¢. oz., 
$2.50 % Ib., $8.00 Ib. Special 
price on large quantities.
