SUPERIOR OTVIOTV SEEDS 
ARE UNEXCELLED. 
The Onion Seed crop the past season has been much shorter than for many years past, and consequently prices 
will rule much higher than even last year. In no other crop, with, perhaps, the exception of the cabbage crop, do I 
exercise so much care to secure and retain for my seed a superiority over the general market strains offered for 
sale •, my labor in this direction has produced a strain and quality of seed rarely equalled and never surpassed ; great 
success has attended the planting of my onion seed, and the demand every season quite exhausts all my best efforts 
can supply ; last year my stock was not one-half large enough to fill the orders received. This season the quantity 
of seed is very limited, but the quality is good, and I trust will give its usual satisfaction. 
My Specialty — “ Danvers Yellow Globe.” 
remaps no single crop grown by the Market Gardener is influenced so much by the quality of the seed sown, as 
:he “Onion Crop ; ” therefore if. a person desires to succeed in growing this crop, he must be very critical in selecting 
nis seed-stock. Owing to the extremely high prices ruling in the spring of 1882, many were tempted to grow onion 
seed as a matter of speculation, and not understanding the business, there has been, in consequence, a large surplus 
of cheap, unreliable seed in the market ever since, causing much loss and annoyance to those planting it. Realizing 
these facts, and growing onions as I do for both market and seed purposes, I have been enabled, by exercising great 
care in selecting for seed-stock, none but the best shaped, most ripened, and handsomest looking specimens, to pro- 
duce a strain of seed rarely equalled. My method and system of training and selecting, has enabled me to quite ob 
literate the tendency to grow scullions ; and I affirm, without hesitation, that as good onions can be, and have been, 
raised from my seed as from any seed in the country ; both as regards quality and quantity. I give an extract trom 
a letter received from one of my customers who grows onions very extensively for the Boston market, and whose 
crops are rarely equalled. See opposite page.
