What my customers sav : “ The Onion Seed was superior 
to any I ever had.”—S. W. Seaman, Motts Corners, New 
York. “ I can get seed in my own neighborhood, but prefer 
yours at double the price.”—N. P. Watts, Perry, Ohio. 
“Your seed is the only seed from which we can raise good 
onions the first year.”-J. M. L. Parker, Ahnepee, Wis. 
“ I have used your seed for six years, and had rather pay 
$2.00 per lb. extra than have seed from any other source.’— 
A. T. Ayers, Turner Mills, Iowa. “The Danvers Onions 
from your seed grew larger than any onions around here 
grew from setts.”—James McGowan. Phillipsbureh, War¬ 
ren Co., New Jersey. “Your Earlv Red Globe yielded at 
rate of 943 bushels to the acre.”—Silas Totten, Kent City. 
Mich. This is just the kind of Onion Seed I have to offer. 
Last yeir, planted as a test, side by side with seed from 
eleven different growers, the onions from mv own marked, 
lv surpassed all in roundness, earliness, and fineness If 
those of rou who grow red onions will try mv Early Red 
Globe, vou will not be likely to raise any other for the fu¬ 
ture. Early Round Yellow Danvers, by mail, per lb., ?2.C5.
