ONIONS. 



My stock of onion seed this season is extra fine, and 

 I believe all who bny them will find them satisfactory. 

 Every pound of old stock has been destroyed, and all 

 seed "will be filled from 190S crop. This is a very im- 

 portant matter with onion growers. 



YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS. — The finest 

 shaped, best colored and largest cropper of any of the 

 yellow onions. A favorite market variety. Pkt.. 5c. : 

 oz., 20c. ; quarter lb.. 60c. ; lb., S2.00. 



LARGE RED WETHERSFIELD — To those 

 who prefer a red onion we recommend this as one of 

 the very best. It yields equally as well as Yellow Dan- 

 vers. Large size, purplish red skin, white flesh and 

 fine grain. Pkt.. 5c. : oz.. 20c. : quarter lb. G5c. ; lb.. 

 S2.25. 



PRIZETAKER.— The best of the large foreign 

 varieties. When started early under glass and trans- 

 planted in the open ground, this is without doubt the 

 largest variety grown. Under special culture single 

 specimens have been grown to weigh 5 pounds. My 

 stock of seed is very choice. Pkt.. 5c. ; oz.. 20c. : quar- 

 ter lb.. 60c. ; pound, S2.00. 



WHITE PORTUGAL.— This is a standard white 

 variety for general culture. The bulbs grow to good 

 size, ripen early and quite evenly. It is a good crop- 

 per : flesh is mild and sweet, with thin white skin. 

 One of the best. Pkt.. 5c. ; oz.. 25c. : quarter lb., 65c. : 

 lb., $2.40. 



SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE.— In many mar- 

 kets, especially in the North and West dark red 

 onions are preferred, and in spite of the deep color of 

 the Southport Red Globe, the flavor is quite as mild as 

 that of other varieties. Nothing handsomer can be 

 grown than these dark, richly colored Red Globes. An 

 average specimen will weigh about 8 to 10 ounces, 

 grown from seed directlv in the rows under ordinary 

 culture. Pkt., 5c. : oz., 20c. : quarter lb.. 60c. ; lb., $2. 



SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE. — This 



variety has matured well as far North as Central 

 Massachusetts. The Southport Globes always command 

 highest prices in New York markets. It is also known 

 as the Late Danvers Globe. It is a large cropper and 

 very desirable to grow for market. Pkt.. 5c. ; oz.. 20c. ; 

 quarter lb., 60?. : lb., $2.00. 



SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE.— Pure white 

 color, mild flavor and as good quality and as good 

 keeper as the yellow sort. It is very productive and 

 always sells at the highest price. Pkt., 5c. ; oz., 30c. ; 

 quarter lb.. 80c. ; lb., $3.00. 



AUSTRALIAN BROWN.— This onion has 

 claimed a place in America within recent years and 

 seems abundantly able to maintain it. It is of medium 

 size and good quality, very early, rather flattened In 

 shape, of a brown color and very hard and solid. One 

 of the best keepers and verv popular. Pkt.. 5c. : oz., 

 20c. ; quarter lb.. 60c. ; lb.. $2.00. 



YELLOW DUTCH. — A standard market sort, 

 very productive and profitable. Flavor mild and go»d.

PARSLEY. 



CHAMPION MOSS CURLED.— T h e large 

 leaves are heavily crimped and curled, being quite 

 moss-like in appearance and of a peculiar, rich, extra 

 dark greea coloring ; very productive and most attrac- 

 tive as a garnish, both on account of its deep green 

 color and its fine, mossy appearance. Pkt., 5c. : oz.. 10c. ; 

 quarter lb., 20c. : lb.. 50c.

 quires a long growing season, so plants should be set

 peppers usually surprises all who grow them. Pit.,
