a mammoth onion the first season. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c;

Yellow Globe Danvers 



■V II /^l l_ r\ One of the most extensively used 



Yellow LalObe UanverS main crop yellow onions. Bulbs 

 of medium to large size, uniformly globe shaped, with small neck, 

 and ripen very evenly. Skin rich coppery yellow; flesh creamy- 

 white, crisp, and of mild and excellent flavor. Keeps very well; 

 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. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c;

nil' L" ■V II /^l 1- The heaviest yield of onions is 



miCnigan Y ellOW ^lObe 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, uni- 

 formly globe shaped, with small necks; shoulder usually slightly 

 sloping, base often distinctly flattened, the largest diameter below 

 the center of tlie bulb. Color rich yellow with tinge of orange. 

 Flesh creamy-white, mild and of very fine quality. A main crop 

 sort that ripens down very evenly. Keeps very well and is excellent 

 • for shipping. No onion grower can afford to plant inferior seed 

 when such as this can be procured. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz. 40c;
