The Prize Taker Onion. 
ONIONS. 
PRIZETAKER— Under 
special cultivation, single speci¬ 
mens have been grown to weigfi 
five pounds. My stoek of seed 
of seed of this variety Is 
choice and I think will give 
you excellent results. It is the 
best of the large foreign va¬ 
rieties, and where started 
early under glass and trans¬ 
planted in the open ground, 
this is without doubt one of 
the largest varieties grown. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 1-4 lb. 60c; 
lb. $2.00. 
AUSTRALIAN BROWN.- 
This is one of the best keepers 
and is very popular. It is Of 
medium size and good quali¬ 
ties, very early, rather flatten¬ 
ed in shape, and of a brown 
color. This onion has claimed 
a place in America within the 
recent years and seems abun¬ 
dantly able to maintain it, 
owing to its early maturity, 
excellent keeping qualities and 
solidity. Pkt. 5c ; ©z. 20c; 1-4 
lb. 60e; lb. $2.00. 
YELLOW DUTCH.— Fla¬ 
vor mild and good. An excel¬ 
lent keeper and a standard 
market sort. Very productive 
and profitable. Pkt. 5c; oz. 
20c; 1-4 lb. 60c; lb. $2.00. 
SOUTHPORT WHITE 
GLOBE.— Failure. 
YELLOW GLOBE DENVERS. —The fin¬ 
est shaped, best colored and largest cropper of 
any of the yellow onions. A favorite market 
variety. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 1-4 lb. 00c; lb. $2.00. 
LARGE RED WETHERSEIELD.— T o 
those who prefer a red onion we recommend 
this as one of the very best. The size is large, 
purplish red skin, white flesh and fine grain, 
and yields equally as well as the Yellow Den¬ 
vers. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 1-4 lb. 60c; lb. $2.00. 
WHITE PORTUGAL — A standard white 
variety for general culture. The bulbs grow to 
good size, ripen early and quite evenly. It is a 
good cropper; flesh is mild and sweet, with 
thin, white skin. One of the best. Pkt. 5c; oz. 
25c; 1-4 lb. 65c; lb. $2.40. 
SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE — N o t hing 
handsomer can be grown in onions than these 
dark, richly colored Red Globe. An average 
specimen will weigh about 8 to 10 ounces, 
grown from seed direct in the row under ordi¬ 
nary culture, and in many markets, especially 
in the North and West, dark red onions are pre¬ 
ferred, and in spite of the deep color of the 
Southport Red Globe the flavor is mild and ex¬ 
cellent. Pkt. 5c ; oz. 25c; 1-4 lb. 65c; lb. $2.40. 
SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE.— The 
Southport Yellow Globe commands highest price 
in New York markets. It is also known as the 
late Denvers Globe. It is a large cropper and 
very desirable to grow for market. This va¬ 
riety has matured as far North as Central Mas¬ 
sachusetts and is in every way a very desirable 
variety. Pkt. 5c? oz. 25c ; 1-4 lb, 65c ; lb. $2.40 
Y BU.0 W 
PARSLEY. 
PARIS MARKET. — This we have found to be 
about the best variety and have decided to offer only 
this one this year. The plant is robust and a free 
grower and is improved by severe cutting. The leaves 
are large and broad, beautifully curled, very dark 
green ; stands heat, damp and cold. The best of any 
we have grown, and yields double that of most sorts. 
We consider it the best. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 1-4 lb. 20c; 
lb, 50c.
