Mauie's Brightest Crimson Globe Onion 



My attention was first called to Brightest Crimson Globe 

 Onion two years ago by one of my marl^et gardener friends 

 wlio liad been growing and improving this onion for the past 

 20 years. I have been watcliing it on my trial grounds for 

 two years, where it has done so well that it gives me pleasure 

 to offer it to my customers this season for the first time. 



Prices of Maule*s Brightest Crimson Globe Onion for 



Maule's Brightest Crimson Globe is a very hardy, vigorous 

 grower, producing perfect globe-shaped onions of a bright 

 crimson color, so well illustrated on the front cover of this 

 Seed Book. Its long keeping qualities, make it an A No. 1 

 shipping variety. The white fiesh is fine grained and of 

 mild flavor. My stock is limited, so I advise early orders.

'I : 



Large Red Wethersfield 



This has been one oi! niy leading; specialties for 

 more than twenty-.seven years. The engraviiijf is 

 from a photograph. In color the skin is deep 

 purpilsla red. The flesh, is white, moderately 

 grained, and of good character. One of my 

 pati-ons grew (56,905 pounds of JVIaule's Large Ked 

 Wethersfield onions on a single acre of ground, 

 some years ago, in competition for a prize of g250. 

 Yields of 600 to 800 bushels per acre are not 

 unusnal. Onion seed value depends greatly upon 

 the way the stock Is selected and cared for, and 

 the Beed which 1 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 weighing one or even two 

 pounds the first year from seed are not uncom- 

 mon, there is also a noteworthy uniformity of 

 size, scallions being unknown and is a inagnifl- 

 cent keeper. Many strains of Red Wethersfield 

 are offered the American public, but my careful 

 comjjarative tests convince me that none surpass 

 the one here described. It Is in every way a 

 perfect red onion for home and market purposes. 

 Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 

 i^pountl, 40 cents; pound, $1.25, postpaid.
