ONIONS-Continued 



ELLOW GLORF DAIMX/FP^ The Canvers onion was origi- 

 L.LI-Y n VJLV^DL U^l\ V Cl^:> nally oval or nearly flat, and it has 

 been thought by many that its small neck and splendid ripening habit could 



only be obtained in onions of that shape, but we have by careful selection and 



breeding developed a strain having to a remarkable degree 



the ripening habit and small neck of the original Danvers, 



and yet decidedly more globular in form, thus giving larger 

 yields and handsomer bulbs without sacrificing any of the 



good qualities of the most popular of yellow onions.

an Yellow Globe 



FINEST SHAPE, BEST COLOR AND YIELDS 

 LARGEST CROP OF ANY YELLOW ONION. 



The largest crops of onions are always produced on rich, 

 black lands. On such soils it is found that a globe shaped 

 onion with a somewhat flattened base gives the largest re- 

 turns, and to meet the demands of the professional onion 

 growers located on such lands, we have developed this va- 

 riety. The bulbs are large and uniformly spherical, with very 

 small necks, the largest diameter below the center of the 

 bulb; of a rich orange-yellow color; enormous yielders and 

 splendid keepers. No onion grower can afford to plant 

 inferior seed when such as this can be procured.

\i Mammoth Yellow Spanish, or Prizctakcr 



A very handsome onion of the largest size and nearly globular in form. Skin Is 

 yellowish-brown; flesh white, mild and tender. It is one of the best of the large, 

 European sorts. If started very early in hot-beds it will produce a mammoth 

 onion the first season. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c ; H Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.26 



V^White Portugal, or American 



A medium sized onion of mild flavor and 



great beauty, its clear white skin glistening 



like silver. A favorite with many for use when young as a 



salaxior bunching onion, and for pickles; it is also a good 



er and fine for fall and early winter use. An excellent 



sort for gardeners who do not care to plant more 



than one variety.

WHITE GLOBE Vff^^ 



"■■•■■-* ^^"^^^ *^"-* handsome and 

 uniformly globe shaped bulbs. The flesh is firm, 

 fine grained, and of mild flavor. Sometimes called 

 Southport White Globe. To produce the beauti- 

 fully white onions so much sought in every mar- 

 ket, one must first of all have good seed. Second, 

 grow them well on rich lands. Third, exercise 

 great care in harvesting and curing the crop. In 

 Southport they '"cord" up the onions in long rows, 

 the bulbs on the inside, and cover with boards so 

 that the bulbs in the open air are well protected 

 from rain or dew, which would be sure to discolor 

 them. We have by years of careful selection and 

 breeding developed a strain which has no equal in 

 uniformity and beauty of shape and color.

Round White Silverskin 



This is a uniformly early, small, round, hard, 

 crisp, tender and very handsome variety, with 

 an opaque white skin, which does not turn green 

 upon exposure to the sun as quickly as other sorts. " 

 An excellent sort for use in bunching, for pickles 

 or as lai-ge onions.
