NOTICE! 
Oct. 11, 1912. 
Gentlemen: 
The onion seed 
purchased from you 
last year was the 
best I ever planted. 
Nearly every seed 
grew and produced 
a beautiful globe- 
shaped onion of re- 
markable uniform 
type and shape. 
The color of my 
Southport Red and 
Yellow Globe are 
ideal. 
Sold my entire 
crop last week — 
5,000 bushels — right 
from the field at a 
fine profit, while 
other neighbors of 
mine who sowed 
other seed can't 
find a buyer. Will 
want at least 100 
pounds for next 
year. Better book 
it at once, as I 
don't want any 
other kind, regard- 
less of price.
