ONIONS. 
(See also page 23 ). As Onion Sets are scarce and high in price, 
grow large Onions from seed and grow more because shortage 
of sets will make a shortage of large Onions next fall. 
Schell*s Pennsylvania Dutch. 
Enormous in size, uniform in shape, solid, 
with mild, juicy flesh. The most ideal 
Onion for slicing. When it is possible to grow from 1,000 to 1,500 bushels of these to 
the acre and sell them at 3 to 5 cents each Onion, you can see the wonderful possibilities for 
profit, even from a small patch. Every home-garden should have a row or two of them. 
Be sure to include in your order Schell’s Pennsylvania Dutch Onion. Pkt. 10 cts.; V2OZ. 
35 cts.; oz. 60 cts.; i/ 4 lb. $1.75; V 2 lb. $2.75; ib. $5; 5 lbs. $22.50.

lity crops. 
SCHELL’S STRAIN JAPANESE ONION 
Also known as Ebenezer. This Onion is very popular; in fact, 
it is a leading variety with the gardeners of New Jersey, New 
York, Pennsylvania, and other eastern states, because of its 
excellent keeping qualities, carrying through the winter without 
loss and because of its pleasing mild flavor, its attractive 
appearance and large, uniform size which has made quick 
selling demand for it on all markets. You should by all means 
grow some Japanese, for it is a very valuable variety. Pkt. 
10 cts.; 3 pkts. 25 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; Vilb. 85 cts.; lb. $2.50; 
5 lbs. $11; 10 lbs. $21. 
SCHELL’S PENNSYLVANIA BOTTLE 
It derives its name from its long, bottle-like shape. All who 
have been fortunate enough to have some of this valuable 
variety are very enthusiastic about it. The Onions grow large, 
long, are very rich and mild in flavor, good keepers, and very 
attractive. It is very popular throughout Pennsylvania and 
elsewhere. Get your general order in early and include this 
good Onion in it. Pkt. 15 cts.; Vioz. 30 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; 
Vilb. $1.35; i/ 2 lb. $2.35; lb. $4.50; 5 lbs. $21.25. 
SCHELL’S STRAIN PRIZETAKER 
SCHELL’S EXTRA-LARGE YELLOW 
GLOBE ONION 
A very valuable variety in that, while it has all the very 
excellent qualities of Yellow Globe type in shape, color, and 
flavor, yet it is fully one-fourth to one-third larger than 
Southport Yellow Globe or Ohio Yellow Globe and yet matures 
at the same time. It is a very attractive Onion. Grow it this 
year on my recommendation and you will have but one regret 
—that you did not plant twice as much seed. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
V 2 oz. 25 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; Vilb. $1.50; V 2 lb. $2.65; lb. $5. 
(We can spare only 1 pound to a customer this year.) 
Grows to enormous size from seed. Under very best 
conditions the Onions have been grown to 5 inches in 
diameter. Prizetaker is an Onion everybody should grow for 
private use or for market. A money-maker for those who grow 
it in quantities. The flesh is pure white, succulent and spark¬ 
ling; the skin a pale yellow; its keeping quality is excellent. 
Crops of 800 to 1,200 bushels to the acre have been grown with 
Prizetaker. If you have a good, rich acre, sow ten pounds of 
Prizetaker seed on it and try for a 1,000-bushel crop—it may 
mean $1,000. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; Vilb. 75 cts.; lb. $1.95; 
5 lbs. $9.50; 10 lbs. $17. 
SCHELL’S WHITE BUNCHING 
This new type 
of Onion is grown from seed sown early in 
the spring, when it will produce long green 
bunching Onions nearly twice as long as 
other spring Onions, and they do not form 
a bulb on the end. They blanch white and 
remain mild and tender for a long time. 
Try them. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; Vilb. 
85 cts.; lb. $2.75.
