S®REENiNG Onions. — This implies sifting out the dirt and dust and grading the Sets into two classes, 

 that is over and under Seven-eighths of an inch diameter. The screening operations make the Blooms- 

 dale Sets far superior to those generally offered on the market, as they are always under seven-eighths 

 of an inch in size. Send us your Order for Sets. The best in quality. Landreths' Sets are with- 

 out doubt the most solid and cleanest offered. 



The Bloomsdale Trial Grounds cover from eight to ten acres, and are divided into three or four separate 

 sections, all of which may be compared as to outside workshops, where are examined as to their quality 

 nine to ten thousand growing samples of Garden Vegetables and Ornamental Flowers. The work 

 in the Trial Grounds is entirely an observation of relative merits, and has nothing to do whatever 

 with germinative tests, which to the extent of 18 to 20 thousand samples are made under glass. The 

 farms are, however, a Trial Ground on a very large scale, for it is on them where Seeds are grown and 

 plants selected, which Seeds are given out to contracting farmers to grow "Pedigree Seeds."
