MML.es RgUASLE ONIOH SEED, 



Hi 



CoPYBIOHT£D, 1S8G. 



9 



The crop of new seed is a very short one, far less than for a number of years, hence 1 have been compelled to 

 advance ray prices for 1S87 very considerably over those of 1886. Still, I ani satisfied that my seed is well worth 

 the figures quoted. My Onion Seed has always been well and widely known for purity and reliability. There is 

 no other vegetable in which there lias been, of late, so much adulteration, nor of which there is so much worthless 

 seed annually placed upon the market. I have always appreciated the fact that from good seed only can 

 good vegetables be grown, and I feel fully warranted in stating that my seed of the different varieties given 

 in this catalogue has no superior anywhere. While poor seed may be sold lower, my extra choice and 

 carefully selected stock will be found infinitely cheaper in the long run. Don't be influenced into buying 

 onion or any other seed by reason of low prices. Seek for quality first, price afterwards.

 FIELD. — The standard variety, and one of the best 

 for a general crop. Very productive ; it is a good 

 keeper, and immense crops are annually grown.

I have always considered 

 my strains of the above two 

 standard onions unsurpassed, 

 and to show how unusually large and fine they 

 can be grown, I will pay, October 1st, 1887, 

 850.00 for the largest and best shaped Wethers- 

 field Onion grown from my seed, and $50.00 for

 Peter F. Van Evera, Fultonvllle, N. Y.: " I 

 )W globe. can recommend Golden Self-blanching Celery 



and Rod Globe Onion to any one." 

 :" I am well satisfied with the seeds. The Silver King beats any thing I 

 iihead of anything that was ever seen around here." 



The seeds received from yon nave good satisfaction, especially the Silver 

 King ' inion. The German farmer for whom 1 ordered a pound, saws he ' must have more of that onion seed next 

 year, sure.' We find it stood Die drouth much better than other kinds ; in fact, if it were not for the Silver King 

 we should have had no onions this year. 



Briggs 4 Morev. Brown's Park, t'tah : " Your seeds gave the best of satisfaction. Onions, \ ellow Danvers, will 

 n verage :t inehos'iii diameter. I nm < lad Watermelons are immense, as are also the Sure-Head Cabbage. Banana 

 Musk melons are splendid, several of which measure over - feet In length. 



Mrs. J. P. Beane, Lake Fremont. Minn.: "The seeds purchased of you last spring were excellent, especially 

 onions I never raised such good onions from seed before." 



K B Howe, Houston. Minn.: " The seeds that I ordered gave good satisfaction. I think every seed grew. My 

 onions cannot be heal : and watermelons, none can he better. Thev are number one seeds. I shall order again.
