reliability in ripening with large yield. It is grown extensively for 
market, ripening more surely in moist locations than do globe-shaped 
varieties, as well as earlier. It is becoming most popular also for 
growing Yellow Onion Sets. Our strain produces thin-necked 
flattened bulbs, which are quite thick through, yielding well in bulk.

any vegetable attained prominence more rapidly ; it succeeds every- 
where — east, west, north and south — and whether grown for home 
use or for marketing it gives universal satisfaction, yielding onions 
often 14 inches around and at the rate of 1,200 to 1,500 bushels per 
acre — often much more under exceptionally good culture. Its im- 
mense size and mildness of flavor delight everyone who raises it. 
Nothing short of actual knowledge of this variety will convey a 
really adequate idea of its great value, whether considered as a 
variety for commercial or private culture. Its immense size will 
recommend it to all, particularly when it is known that its keeping

Large Red Wethersfield Onion 
A Leading Variety Produces Enormous Crops of Solid, Heavy 
and Perfect 
Large Red Wethersfield is a grand red variety and a general 
favorite. With the exception of the Yellow Globe Danvers, there is 
no variety so largely grown. Our stock is excellent, being saved 
from only careful selected bulbs. ' The cut gives an accurate idea 
of the shape. Our stock will be found quite free from necky and 
misshapen, bulbs, and will invariably grow to a large size under 
proper conditions. The surface color is a rich dark red. It is an 
early variety to mature and a fine keeper. The flavor is good and 
mild, and it is an admirable onion for boiling. (See cut.) Price, 
pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., Jib. 50 cts., lb. $1.75, 5 lbs. and 
over, at $1.65 lb.
