EVERGOOD 
BED GLOBE. 
MOST 
PERFECT 
BED GLOBE. 
Yellow Globe Danvers 
Our strain of Yellow Globe Danvers is 
unsurpassed. It forms a large, deep 
heavy bulb with small neck, but is not 
quite as oval in form as the Southport 
type of Globe Onions. Be¬ 
ing of unusually handsome 
appearance, it is invariably 
a market favorite. The 
flavor is rather mild. It 
matures early and yet is a 
splendid keeper. Its yield¬ 
ing qualities are equal to 
the best and it weighs very 
heavy to the measured 
bushel. Matures in 125 
days. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 
% lb., 65c; lb., $2.25, pre¬ 
paid. 
ONION SEED 
MORE DOLLARS worth of onions can be grown on an acre 
than almost any other crop. They are most suited to produce 
big crops under intense cultivation. The small grower has the 
same chance as the big grower, and many a housewife has 
made pin money and more from onions. 
THE SEED is all-important—many poor strains of onion 
seed are on the market. They will grow onions—but all sorts 
and sizes. Buy your seed from a reliable firm. 
CULTURE. —Be very careful about preparing the soil. It 
should be well pulverized and smooth. Th* richer the soil, the 
bigger the crop will be. Sow the seed as early as the ground 
can be worked in rows 12 to 15 inches apart, covering one-half 
inch deep. When plants are up cultivate thoroughly, keep free 
from weeds and thin to one inch apart in the row. One ounce 
will sow about 150 feet of drill; 4 to 6 pounds per acre. For 
sets sow 50-60 lbs. per acre. 
Isbell’s Evergood Red Globe Onion 
THE HANDSOMEST RED GLOBE IN CULTIVATION 
Isbell’s Evergood has been one of our leading 
specialties for many years. Bulbs are perfectly 
globe-shaped and uniformly small necked, which 
insures thorough drying out near the top where 
nearly all the trouble origin¬ 
ates in keeping onions. Color 
is deep blood red. Having 
been raised so long in a favorable climate, 
it has formed the habit of early ripening, 
and yet grows to full marketable size. The 
Evergood is a magnificent keeper. Ma¬ 
tures in 130 days. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; *4 lb., 
75c; lb., $2.50, prepaid. 
Southport 
Red Globe 
Grown from hand-picked 
bulbs, only bulbs which are 
perfect in size and shape 
being used for seed. Red 
Globe onions are just the 
size to command the high¬ 
est price. They are more 
uniform in size, darker col¬ 
ored skin, heavier and bet¬ 
ter keepers than any strain 
of Southport we have ever 
seen. Keeps well until 
spring. Matures in 135 days. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; % lb., 
65c; lb., $2.25, prepaid. 
Southport 
Yellow Globe 
New White 
Bunching Onion 
Similar in shape to the other 
Southport Globe Onions, but dif¬ 
fering in color. Is entirely dis¬ 
tinct from the Danvers type, be¬ 
ing more globe shaped. Flesh is 
white and of mild flavor; hand¬ 
some in appearance, large in size, a heavy cropper and an 
excellent keeper. We sell large quantities of seed of this 
variety to Onion growers who ship in car-loads to Eastern 
markets. Matures in 126 days. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 
65c; lb., $2.25, prepaid. 
This new Onion resembles 
White Welsh but the edible 
stems are whiter and much 
longer. The flavor is very mild and the onions remain 
tender and crisp and hold the pure white color. Seed may 
be sown very early in the spring or in midsummer or fall 
to get onions very early the following spring. It is hardy 
and trenches well. This is the finest perennial bunch Onion 
for a critical market demanding a fancy grade. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 25c; *4 lb., 80c; lb., $2.75, prepaid. 
Michigan Yellow Globe 
(Brigham Strain) 
This improved strain of Yellow Globe was developed in 
the great Onion producing district of Southwestern Michi¬ 
gan by one of the largest commercial growers and ship¬ 
pers, after years of careful selection. It is the heaviest 
yielding and best keeping Yellow Globe Onion grown in 
this state. Ripens early and has the fine yellow color of 
Southport. Bulbs grow to large size and are very solid. 
Onion buyers take these first in preference to other sorts 
and usually pay a premium for them on account of their 
fine size and appearance and wonderful keeping quality. 
Our supply of seed is limited, so order early. Pkt., 16c; oz., 
25c; *4 lb., 85c; lb., $2.75, prepaid. 
Isbell’s Early White Sugar Ball 
For years there has been an inquiry for an extremely 
early onion to be sold in the green state in bunches. Is¬ 
bell’s Early White Sugar Ball will fill the bill completely. 
There is no onion seed known that will produce an onion 
one inch or more in diameter quicker than this. This is 
the earliest of all the White Onions, and is especially 
adapted for early bunch Onions and for pickling. It is 
so sweet and mild flavored we have named it “Sugar Ball.” 
Ready for use in 90 to 95 days. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; *4 lb., 
75c; lb., $2.50, prepaid.
