VAUGHAN'S PEDIGREE ONION SEED 



Vaughan's strains of Globe Onions have no superior. Our Eastern seed is grown in the large growing districts, seed bulbs are sorted from hundreds of 

 bushels (an impossibility with small growers) color and shape are ideal when planted and placed far apart, the unavoidable mixtures in close western plantings 

 are eliminated. The greater cost to produce seedsia this manner than those under other conditionsis justified; it is worth many times such cost to the market planter.
