m Maule's 

 Large Red Wethersfield 



Sure and Heavy Yielder 

 A Good Keeper — Very Popular 



This has been one of our leading specialties 

 for more than thirty years. The skin is deep 

 purplish red. The flesh is white, tinged with 

 pink. 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 grow to an immense size the 

 first year from seed. They are solid, oval shaped 

 flattened on top, strong flavored and excellent 

 keepers. Many strains of Red Wethersfield are 

 offered the American public, but our careful com- 

 parative tests convince us that none surpass the 

 one here described. It is in every way a perfect 

 red onion for home and market purposes.
