Onions 



Several desirable types illustrated on page 51. 



We have for many years given particular attention to our stocks of onion seed and the intelligent and 

 carefully directed efforts at our Oakview Stock Seed Farms have done much to maintain their superior quality. 

 It is not alone sufficient to breed up a strain to the ideal but it is necessary year after year to continue breed- 

 ing and selecting to prevent deterioration. 



Uniformity and excellence of type in respect to shape, size and color and evenness of maturity are qualities 

 in our stocks that are appreciated by critical onion growers. 



We believe our stocks of onions are unsurpassed by any others. 



Extra Early Red. The first of the red sorts to ripen. A very hardy, medium sized variety that yields well 

 and is very uniform in size and shape. Keeps remarkably well for so early a variety. Pkt. lOc; Oz. I5c; 

 2 Oz. 25c; 1/4 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 



Extra Red Wethersfield. A medium early, very productive sort, very popular for general cultivation. An 

 excellent keeper and will do better on poor and dry soils than most other varieties. Pkt. lOc; Oz. I5c; 2 Oz. 25c; 



1/4 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 



Yellow Globe Danvers. A main crop variety with uniformly globe shaped bulbs of medium to large size. 

 It is an excellent keeper and is grown largely for shipping. Pkt. lOc; Oz. I5c; 2 Oz. 25c; 14 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.35 



Michigan Yellow Globe. This very productive main crop sort will give a maximum yield when grown on 

 rich, black lands. It is largely planted by professional growers and is one of the best long keeping, shipping 



sorts. Pkt. lOc; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; 1/4 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.35 



White Portugal. A medium sized onion of mild flavor and with 

 beautiful clear white skin. This variety is a favorite with many 

 for use when young as a salad or bunching onion. The bulbs are 

 nearly round when of bunching size, somewhat flattened when 



mature. Pkt. lOc; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz. 40c; 1/4 Lb. 75c.; Lb. $2.25 



White Globe. Sometimes called Southport White Globe. This 

 variety yields abundantly, producing medium to large handsome 

 bulbs of clear white color. One of the most desirable for the home 

 garden and also desirable for shipping. This differs from the 

 Southport Red Globe and the Southport Yellow Globe only in 

 color. Our stocks of these varieties are exceptionally fine. 



Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz. 40c; 14 Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.50 



Beans— Baldwin Wonder Wax 



This variety is a most prolific, wax podded pole sort of excellent 

 quality for snaps for the home garden. The vines are hardy and vig- 

 orous in growth, and when in condition for use as snaps the pods are 

 very long, about seven inches, uniformly cylindrical, exceptionally 

 brittle and stringless. The color is a very attractive light yellow. 

 We consider Baldwin Wonder Wax the most desirable bean of its 

 class yet introduced. {See cut and further description, page 26) 



Pkt. l&c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c. postpaid; 100 Lbs. $25.00 



Beans — Detroit Mammoth Lima 



This comparatively new pole lima bean is the largest podded of 

 any variety of this class. The mammoth pods are nine to eleven 

 inches long, medium dark green in color and contain five to seven 

 beans of the most excellent quality. It comes into bearing medium 

 early and the vines which are vigorous and strong growing are ex- 

 ceptionally productive. A variety of distinctive merit for the home 

 garden. {See cut on this page and further description, page 27) 

 Pkt. 15c; Lb. 45c; 2 Lbs. 80c. postpaid; 100 Lbs. $28.00 



Corn— Charlevoix 



(Pronounced Shar-le-voy) 



The many favorable reports we have had on this variety confirm 

 our opinion that it is the best yellow grained sweet corn yet intro- 

 duced. The ears are about seven inches long, usually twelve rowed, 

 and when in condition for use are deep creamy yellow in color. The 

 grain is rather short, very sweet and tender and is unsurpassed in 

 quality. _ In season it is about the same as Early Minnesota but 

 remains in condition for use longer than most- of the early or inter- 

 mediate sorts. An excellent sort both for the home and market garden. 



We recommend a trial of this variety; you are sure to be pleased 

 with it. {See cut and further description, page 37) Pkt. 15c; Lb, 30c; 

 2 Lbs. 50c. postpaid; 100 Lbs. $16.00 



Not less than 10 pounds at the 100 pound rate. One hundred pound prices do not 

 ^include transportation; if ordered shipped prepaid add 8c per pound to the 100 pound 

 price. We do not put up half pounds of beans, corn or peas. Bean, Detroit Mammoth Lima
