Yellow Globe Danvers 
V 11 1 1 rv One of the most extensively used 
iellOWLalObe Uanvers main crop yellow onions. Bulbs 
of medium to large size, uniformly globe shaped, with small neck, 
and ripen very evenly. Skin rich coppery yellow; flesh creamy- 
white, crisp, and of mild and excellent fiavor. Keeps very well; 
excellent for shipping. We have by careful selection and breeding 
developed a strain which has the ripening habit and small neck or 
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. ~ — ~ "

xr 11~ /’m The heaviest yield of onions is 
Ivlicnigan Yellow v_*lOD6 always obtained from rich, black 
lands. On such soils it 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, uni¬ 
formly globe shaped, with small necks; shoulder usually slightly 
sloping, base often distinctly flattened, the largest diameter below 
the center of the bulb. Color rich yellow with tinge of orange. 
Flesh creamy-white, mild and of very fine quality. A main crop 
sort that ripens down very evenly. Keeps very well and is excellent 
for shipping. No onion grower can afford to plant inferior seed 
when such as this cah be procured. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz. 40c;
