Mountain Danvers Onion 
The Earliest Yellow Globe Onion and the Best Keeping 
Variety 
Mountain Danvers is the earliest maturing strain of 
Yellow Globe Onion, ripening two to three weeks earlier 
than Yellow Globe Danvers. It is semi-round, of deep 
yellow color, very hard and solid, without any thick neck, 
and ripens practically all the crop at once. These onions 
have remarkable keeping qualities; can be kept all winter 
in common storage, and show less shrinkage than any 
other variety. They do not get quite as large as the Yellow 
Globe Danvers, but are of good size, and are often found 
more profitable than the later kinds because they can be 
marketed before other kinds are ready.. This seed is grown 
for us on contract, in the mountains of -Colorado, in alti¬ 
tudes which are particularly adapted to producing Onions of 
extreme earliness and hardiness. It is a wonderful Yellow 
Onion for sections where the season is short or wherever 
an early maturing variety is wanted. Pkt., 8c; oz., 20c; 
U lb., 60c; lb., $2.00; 2 lbs., $3.60; 5 lbs., $8.50; 10 lbs.,

Michigan Yellow Globe, or Ohio Yellow Globe 
The heaviest yield of onions is always obtained from rich, 
black lands. On such soils it is found that a globe shaped onion 
with a somewhat flattened base gives the largest returns, and to 
meet the demands of the professional onion growers located on 
such lands, this variety has been developed. The bulbs are 
large, uniformly globe shaped, with small neck; shoulder usually 
slightly sloping, base often distinctly flattened, the largest diam¬ 
eter below the center of the bulb. The color is rich yellow with 
tinge of orange. The flesh is creamy white, mild and of very fine 
quality. This main crop sort ripens down evenly, keeps very 
well and is excellent for shipping. Pkt., 8c; oz., 20c; % lb.,

Australian Brown Onion 
As the Australian Brown becomes better known its popularity increases. It is now much 
in demand in both the Eastern and Western markets, and we have no hesitancy in saying 
that we believe in a comparatively short time it will be one of the most popular of all 
market onions. It is of semi-globe shape, brownish-yellow in color, solid, white flesh 
and very mild and sweet. The Onions grow to a fair size and ripen evenly and without 
a neck. They begin to form a bulb very quickly and reach 
Michigan Yellow Globe maturity in a remarkably short time. It is a good yielder and a 
sure cropper and is noted for its long keeping qualities, having 
been kept in fine condition for a year after harvest. A valuable 
Onion for sections where the season is short, and a most desirable variety for all climates. Pkt., 8c; oz.,

the freedom of an apple. Chiefly grown for pickling and bunching; 
the best of all for small pickles. Pkt., 8c; oz., 25c; *4 lb., 70c; 
lb., $2.25; 2 lbs., $4.05; 5 lbs., $9.55; 10 lbs., $18.00, postpaid. 
EARLY WHITE WELSH (Perennial). The first variety to 
be ready for green onions in the Spring. It is a perennial, forms no 
bulbs, is perfectly hardy, and when once set will remain in the 
ground year after year. It does not produce top sets, but is propa¬ 
gated from seed or divisions. It is very mild and of excellent quality. 
Market gardeners find it extremely profitable, as it makes a most 
attractive bunch and sells at good prices before onions grown from 
sets are ready for the market. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; % lb., 75c; lb., 
$2.50; 2 lbs., $4.50; 5 lbs., $10.60, postpaid. 
Japanese Long Bunching Onion 
A perennial Onion from Japan which is sure to meet with popular 
favor for young green onions. It forms no bulb, but produces a long 
white tender root as shown in the illustration. Owing to quality and 
fine appearance, it makes an attractive bunch that sells at an advanced 
price over other varieties. Our Japanese grower informs us that in 
Japan this Onion is often blanched 24 inches. A money maker for 
market gardeners. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; *4 lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50; 2
