Maule's 



Large Red Wethersfield 



This has been one of our leading specialties 

 for more than thirty years. The engraving is 

 from a photograph. In color the skin is deep 

 purplish red. The flesh is white, moderately 

 grained, and of good character. One of our 

 patrons grew 66,905 pounds of Maule's Large Red 

 Wethersfield onions on a single acre of ground, 

 some years ago, in competition for a prize of S250. 

 Yields of 600 to 800 bushels per acre are not 

 unusual. Onion seed value depends greatly upon 

 the way the stock is selected and cared for, and 

 the seed which we offer is of the earliest form, 

 grown from hand sorted bulbs and sure to pro- 

 duce large onions. Specimens of Maule's Large 

 Red Wethersfield weighing one or even two 

 pounds the first year from seed are not uncom- 

 mon, there is also a noteworthy uniformity of 

 size, scallions being unknown and is a magnifi- 

 cent keeper. Many strains of Red Wethersfield 

 are offered the American public, but our careful 

 comparative tests convince us that none surpass 

 the one here described. It is in every way a 

 perfect red onion for home and market purposes. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 40 cents; 

 pound, SI. 10; pound, $4.00, postpaid.

The Favorite Mild White Onion

 ily use and one of the best for pickling, also for slicing or boiling. A favorite with many 

 when young as a salad or bunching onion; excellent for winter. This variety is largely 

 grown for sets, and is regarded as a standard sort on account of it being hard and firm.

Mixed Onions 



This mixture contains a grand assortment of the different colored and various 

 shaped onions, maturing at intervals, so as to give a supply of onions fit for 

 the table when wanted, or for saving for winter use, as all are good keepers. 

 A sowing of these should be quite valuable. 



Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 35 cts.; % pound, $1.00; pound, $3.50.

YELLOW DUTCH OR STRASBURG ONION. 



Yellow Dutch or Strashurg 



One of the Earliest Yellow Onions 



A dark, straw color skinned sort, almost flat in shape, 

 but a large onion. Its fine keeping quality is what 

 recommends itself to the home as well as the market 

 gardener. For a yellow sort it is rather mildly flavored. 

 A standard market sort, very productive and profitable. An 

 excellent winter keeper and shipper. At Philadelphia and 

 elsewhere it is grown extensively. 



Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 35 cents; 

 quarter pound, $1.00; pound, $3.75.

OHIO YELLOW GLOBE ONION. 



Ohio Yellow Globe 



Until very recently this onion has only been known to a limited 

 extent in parts of the State of Ohio, where it has long been considered 

 one of the best of Globe onions. It is of handsome, bright, even yellow 

 color, with small neck. Ripens early and all at once; the firm, solid 

 bulbs are excellent winter keepers. It is reported that 800 bushels of 

 Ohio Yellow Globe onions have been grown on a single acre of good 

 land. It is especially recommended for heavy muck land on account 

 of its early maturing qualities. Our supply of this variety is particu- 

 larly choice tliis season. i 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 45 cents; % pound, $1.25; pound, $4.50.
