ONION SEED 



There are no better strains of Globe 

 Onions than Vaughan's. Our Eastern 

 Seed is grown in the vicinity of large 

 growing districts, and our seed bulbs are 

 sorted from hundreds of bushels (impos- 

 sible when an individual grows his own 

 limited amount of bulbs). Color and shape 

 are ideal when planted. The different col- 

 ors are planted far apart, so that the mix- 

 tures unpreventable in the close Western 

 plantings are eliminated. It costs more 

 mon'ey to raise seeds in this manner than 

 those raised under other conditions; the 

 seed, however, is worth many times such 

 cost to the market planter. 



Southport Blood Red Globe, our b i o o d 



Red Globe 



has a beautiful dark red .skin and a better strain 

 cannot be found. The onions are of large Bize. 

 very solid, and firm, qualities which make fine 

 sellers and excellent keepers; crop yielding SOO 

 to 1,000 bushels per acre are not uncommon for 

 our seed. Our seed is grown under our suoer- 

 vlsion by an expert from the pick of the prod- 

 uct of a large onion section.
