 and is 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 

 anv of the good qualities of tlie orisriual Danvers. Pkt. 10c;

 »». 1 . -v 11 r^i 1 The heaviest yield of onions 



Michigan Yellow Cilobe is 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, 

 uniformly globe shaped, with small neck; shoulder usually slightly 

 sloping, base often distinctly flattened, the largest diameter below 

 the center of the bulb. The color is rich yellow with tinge of 

 orange. The flesh is creamy white, mild and of very fine quality. 

 This main crop sort ripens down evenly, keeps very well and is ex- 

 cellent for shipping. No onion trrower can afford to plant inferior 

 seed when such as this can be procured. Pkt, 10c; Oz, 20c;
