Yellow Globe Danvers 



Attractive, Uniform Shape 

 Quick to Mature 



Mild, But Full Flavored 

 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 

 bottom, is a perfect sphere. The 

 matter of tops has had close 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, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., 

 $1.00 % lb., $3.50 lb. Special 

 price on large quantities. 



White Portugal or Silver Skin 



Famous for Its Delicious "Scallions." The Best Onion for 

 General Use 



627. This is beyond m 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 lhat 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.)

Henderson's Superior Large 



Red Wethersfield 



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 

 flavor and who consider the extremely mild varieties insipid, 

 will be well satisfied with Wethersfield. Indeed, for boiling 

 purposes such highly flavored sorts are preferable, though 

 they are generally considered less suitable for slicing in 

 salads. This is a general favorite everywhere, and is largely 

 grown both for market and private use. It shapes up very 

 quickly, insuring a good supply during the growing season 

 while its keeping quality 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. (Sec engraving.)
