AUSTRALIAN BROWN — A Valuable Long-Keeping 

 Onion. — This new Onion, introduced into the United 

 States a few years since, has met with wonderful suc- 

 cess, and is pronounced the best keeper of all onions. 

 The outside skin is of a deep amber brown, distinct 

 from all other onions, extremely hard and firm, of fine 

 flavor, and will keep almost indefinitely. Australian 

 Brown is the only onion Australian growers will plant.

YELLOW DUTCH, or STRASBURG. — The most 

 popular and best variety for set purposes. Is similar 

 to the Yellow Danvers. Flat in shape, color and size, 

 but as a set onion it has the quality of ripening down 

 earlier and more uniformly. Pit., 5c. Oz., 20c. H

YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS. — A very handsome, 

 round, yellow onion; a large yielder and splendid 

 keeper; the preferred sort with market gardeners and 

 large growers all over the country. We unhesitatingly 

 recommend it for growing either sets or large onions.

YELLOW FLAT DANVERS. — A good onion, both for 

 the home garden and for market — combining reliability 

 in ripening with large yield. It ripens more surely in 

 moist locations than do the globe-shaped varieties, as 

 well as earlier. The thin-necked flattened bulbs are 

 quite thick through: light yellow skin; fine-grained, 

 mild, white flesh. Pit., 5c. Oz., 20c. 5 <>c.
