• . .lvrn o «i A very handsome late or 
Mammoth Yellow opamsh main crop onion of the 
rw PfiTPta largest size and nearly globular in form, usually 
or i rizcidivci with shoulder and base slightly sloping. The 
skin is yellowish brown or light yellow with slight tinge of brown. 
The flesh is creamy white, very mild, tender and of excellent flavor. 
The variety keeps well if thoroughly ripened and is very desirable 
for shipping for fall and early winter use. It is one of the 
best of the large European sorts that has become thoroughly 
acclimated in America and is exceptionally productive under 
proper conditions. If started very early in hotbed it will produce 
a mammoth onion the first season. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c;

YfcLLvW GloBE LMnvers 
•v/ u i r-v One of the most extensively used 
Yellow Llobe Danvers main crop yellow onions for the 
home garden and market. The bulbs are of medium to large 
size, uniformly globe shaped, with small neck, and ripen very 
evenly. The skin is rich coppery yellow. The flesh is creamy 
white, crisp and of mild and excellent flavor. The variety keeps 
very well and is excellent for shipping. We have by careful 
selection and breeding developed a strain which has the ripening 
habit and small neck of the original Danvers and yet is more 
globular, thus giving larger yields and handsomer bulbs without 
sacrificing any of the good qualities of the original Danvers.

M « i • \r n i l The heaviest yield of onions is 
ichlgan Yellow Cjlobe always obtained from rich, 
black lands. On such soils ii is found that a globe shaped onion 
with a somewhat flattened base gives the largest returns and to 
meet the demands of the professional onion growers located on 
such lands, we have developed this variety. The bulbs .are large, 
uniformly globe shaped, with small neck; shoulder usually slisrlitly 
sloping, base often distinctly flattened, the largest diameter below 
the center of the bulb. The color is rich yellow with tinge of 
orange. The flesh is creamy white, mild and of very fine quality. 
This main crop sort ripens down evenly, keeps very well and is 
excellent for shipping. No onion grower can atrord to plant inferior 
seed when such as this can be procured. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c;
