YELLOW GLOBE DANVKKS 
Yellow Globe Danvers 
The ideal Danvers onion was originally oval or nearly flat, and it has been 
thought by many that its small neck and splendid ripening habit could only 
be obtained in onions of that shape, but we have by careful selection and breeding developed a strain having to a remarkable 
degree the ripening habit and small neck of the original Danvers, and yet decidedly more globular in form, thus giving larger 
yields and handsomer bulbs without sacrificing any of the good qualities of this most popular of yellow onions. 
A very handsome onion of the largest size, and nearly globular in 
IVldlHIIlOin 1 Cllviw IT I 14ClcU\Cl form. Skin is yellowish brown; flesh white, mild and tender. It 
is one of the best of the large European sorts. If started very early in hot beds it will produce mammoth onions the first 
season. 
Eaton Co., Mich., I sowed 3% pounds of your Onion Seed and will harvest about 700 bushels. Expect to put in five 
acres next Spring and want to purchase the seed from you. Signed, H. W. Horner.

1st Year 
The small

large stock. 
Considered 
the very best 
pickling onion. 
A very white 
skinned variety 
of especial value 
for pickling. If 
seed is sown out of doors in 
spring it will produce bulbs 
about an inch in diameter, 
maturing very early. If these bulbs are set out the 
following spring, or if plants are grown under 
glass in winter and set out in the spring, they 
produce large onions. 
\ 
An enormous flat onion, resembling the White Italian 
Tripoli, but is larger, slightly later and a better keeper, mak- 
ing it better suited for fall and early winter market. Skin 
silvery white; flesh pure white, very tender and mild flavored. 
White Portugal or American Silverskin 
This is a medium sized onion of mild flavor and with 
beautiful, clear white skin. The variety is a favorite with 
many for use when young as a salad or bunching onion 
and for pickles. It usually matures about ten days earlier 
than White Globe and is hue for fall and early winter use. 
It is an excellent medium early sort for gardeners who do 
not care to plant more than one variety. The bulbs are 
nearly round when of bunching size, somewhat flattened 
when mature. This is the best flattened white onion for 
northern latitudes.
