For years we have been raising onion seed from extra choice onions. Test¬ 
ing our seed side by side with numerous other lots it has proved to be 
the best strain catalogued. On four of our farms we raise Round Yellow 
Danvers (a rounder and thicker onion than formerly), Early Red Globe (the 
best red for general crop), Early Southport Red (a new variety), Early Yel¬ 
low Cracker and Early Flat Red. These two last are capital sorts where the 
seasons are short. To those purchasing a pound or more of seed we will send 
free a copy of our book on onion raising. Avery liberal discount made on 
large lots. Is the best seed any too good ? It means fifty dollars more per acre 
for the crop. J. J. II. GKUGOKY A HON, Marblehead, Mans.
