SALZER’S SELECTED GREAT RED 
WETHERSFIELD ONION 
Tlie Most Largely GroAvn Red A'ariety—The Greatest 
Crojjping and the Standard American Red Onion 
Large bulbs, flattened, but quite thick, with rich, dark, purplish 
skin and pure white flesh of good, mild flavor. Our stock is well 
bred and will invariably grow crops quite free from necky and 
misshapen bulbs, and onions of the largest size averaging about 
% lb. each, but specimen bulbs of one and even two pounds have 
often been grown from our seed. Salzer’s Great Red Wethers¬ 
field produces larger crops than any other American red onion 
and these bulbs keep longer in good condition than those of any 
other sort. It gives its largest yield on rich land, but on poor 
and dry soils it yields better than any other sort. It is a medium 
early kind, maturing in about 100 days, and is adapted to varied 
soils and to adverse climatic conditions. Has an exceeding*ly fine 
neck and long:, slender leaves of a clear g'reen color. 
This is the onion for the farmer, the citizen and the gardener 
to grow, to put in their cellars for the winter, because it is one 
of the easiest to grow, is certainly one of the best keeping On¬ 
ions, always of excellent quality. It’s the greatest money maker, 
because it is so heavy a yielder, and all Onions are so fine that 
they sell at good prices in all markets. John Honzik, 
Malm, Ore., writes, “My Red Wethersfield Onions, your seed, 
weighed from 1 to 2 lbs. each.” 79 1—Pkg., 10c; ox., fiJc;

GRANDPA’S CONGLOMERATION 
kinds of Onion seeds was planted on the theory that if 
one sort did not do well the other sort would, and in that 
V ay it happened always that there never was a shortage 
of Onions. If the good housewife wished a mild white for 
.sniads, it was always found therein; if she wished a more 
pungent one, that was taken and with this in view we have 
arranged “Grandpii's Coiiglomerntioii Onion Mixture”* it 
contains every known sort, all colors, shapes and sizes

SALZER’S WHITE QUEEN 
Our finest pickling onion, also known as "White Pearl, 
is of exceptional quality and the best of all the white 
cklers, growing to a size of about 1 inch by Vz inch 
ick, with a flne neck, and is an exceedingly early 
rain. Onions remain hard and solid and more than 
le crop may be gathered for pickling in one season 
om successive sowings. Although used more for 
ckling, they are of value for early green bunch 
ions for early use. They have a mild, sweet flavor, 
is not quite as good a keeper as the Paris Silver 
in, but it is a smaller onion and hence more used for 
ckling. 787—Pkg., 10c; <»z., 27c; 14 ll>., 85c; V- H>*,
