Mr. J. J. H. Gregort,— i)f'/r Sir,— I feel it my duty to 
return yon my sincere thanks for the good and genuine seed 
of different kinds I bought of von. There was considerably 
over one bundrnd dollars wortli, all true to name, and excel- 
lent. The Onion Seed was the best I ever bought, and I 
have had a good deal of experience with different seedsmen. 
Some 01 mv Danvers Onions measured sixteen inches in 
circumference. ROBERT GIBSOX." 
Mr. Israel "Wliitcomb. of Hingbam. Mass.. writes: "I 
bought seed of you last season, and am satisfied. I think I 
shall harvest from 1500 to 2000 bushels, and I have not seen 
one scallion as yet." 
I have grown a fine lot of Early Round Yellow Danvers, 
(this yields enormous crops.) Large Red. Early Red Globe. 
Yellow Flat or Strasbur^. and Earlv Cracker Onion Seed. 
I invite all who want seed that is reliable in every respect, to 
send for mv Onion Circular for prices and detailed descrip- 
tion of varieties, which I send gratis to all. MTiy run anv 
risk of losing so valuable a crop through poor seed? . I
