Wethersfield. Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, % lb. 40c, lb. $1.00. 
RED WETHERSFIELD MAY'S SELECTED (Minnesota 
Grown.) (See cut.) We confidently recommend our strain of 
this favorite onion as the very best ever offered the gardeners 
of America, and believe we are fully justified in making- this 
claim. It grows with unusual regularity, and yields of over 
1,000 bushels per acre have been reported to us from various 
sections. Onions weighing from one to two pounds each are 
frequently grown from our selected strain in one season from 
seed. Wbile not so early as Red Wonder, it is of a larger size 
and therefore more extensively grown by gardeners who ship to 
distant markets. The flesh is a pure white, fine grained and of 
good flavor; skin purplish red. OUR SELECTED STRAIN OF 
RE" WETHERSFIELD IS WORTH TWICE AS MUCH as that 
usually sold by other seedsmen, and no gardener CAN AFFORD 
TO BE WITHOUT IT. Pkt. 5c, osi. 10c, % lb. 35e, lb. $1.00.

globe-shaped onion, firm, fine grained, of mild flavor and good 
keeping qualities. This is one of the handsomest onions grown, 
of beautiful shape. Clear white skin, always commanding the 
highest market price. Our Minnesota grown seed is gathered 
from the nicest and largest bulbs, and will be found to ripen 
early and evenly. Their keeping qualities are unexcelled. Pkt.

the enormous weight of four pounds each, and frequently 
measures seven or eight inches in diameter. If you are in want 
of an early white onion, grow Extra Early Pearl. Its immense 
fine quality will please you. Pkt. 10c, oz. 15c, *4 lb. 50c, lb. $1.75.

deners who do not care to sow more than one variety. Pkt. 5c,

RKD OLOBEi SOUTHPORT. -(Minnesota Grown.) (See Cut.)

higher price on the market, as its rich, purplish, crimson 
color makes it exceedingly attractive. The flesh is solid, 
fine grained, mild and tender. It matures early in the sea- 
son. Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, % lb. 40c, lb. $1.40. 
YELLOW NEW IMPERIAL. — The market gardeners' sort. A 
wonderful variety of German origin introduced by us several 
years ago, and which at once sprung into popular favor, in- 
creasing each year, until now its sales are nearly as large as 
White Globe or Red Wethersfield. It is one of the handsom- 
est and most profitable onions that can be grown and certain 
to become a favorite with the market gardener on account of 
its size, solidity and splendid quality. The color of the skin 
is a light yellow, flesh solid and fine grained. Yields of from 
800 to 1,100 bushels per acre are frequently reported. We 
advise every one who has a garden to try our Imperial this 
year. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, % lb. 60c, lb. $2.00.

ens up hard and fine, and presents the handsomest possible 
appearance; is pure white, fine grained, mild and delicate in

for market gardeners, immensely productive and good keep- 
ers. Large size, globe shaped, small neck, fine flavor, mild 
and early; in fact, about all that is required to make a first- 
class onion for either home or market use. Our seed is care- 
fully saved from selected bulbs and is of the highest germ- 
inating quality. Crops of 700 and 800 bushels per acre are 
frequently raised from the seed. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, % lb. 35c,
