very early maturing strain originating in the 
mountains of Colorado. The Onions are of the 
fine globe shape, deep yellow color and very

than Yellow Globe Danvers, and are valuable on 
this account where the seasons are short. These 
Onions have remarkable keeping qualities and 
can be safely stored all Winter. They are of 
good size and are often found more profitable

perfectly globe shaped. It has a light yellow 
skin and small top. The flesh is pure white, 
firm, crisp, and tasty. It originated in Spain 
and has become a favorite variety in this coun¬ 
try because of its size, quality and the fact that 
it will ship well to distant points. Not intended 
for Winter storage. Pkt., 10c; %-oz., 20c; oz., 
35c; lb., 85c; lb., $2.75. 
Onion Sets 
(One lb. to 75 feet of row; 300 lbs. to the acre) 
It is very easy to raise Onions from sets and 
they should be grown in every garden. If the sets 
are set out early in the Spring, nice green Onions 
can be pulled in a few weeks. A little later the 
bulbs grow large and are then ready to use cooked. 
They are of very delicate flavor. The Onions 
mature about the middle of August in this lati¬ 
tude. They are then large, ripe Onions which can 
be kept through the Winter if desired. The sets 
•should be planted about 2 inches apart and covered 
an inch deep. A pound equals about one quart.
