Large Red 
Wethersfield 
THIS IS THE STANDARD RED VARIETY 
and a favorite onion in the East, 
where immense crops are grown 
for shipment. Large; skin deep 
purplish red; form round, some¬ 
what flattened; flesh purplish- 
white; moderately fine grained, 
and stronger flavored than any 
of the other kinds. Very produc¬ 
tive, the Best Keeper, and one 
of the Most Popular for General 
Cultivation. It is more inclined 
to form large necks if planted on 
unsuitable soil than the Danvers, 
but is the best variety on poor or 
drv soils. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c;

1 he Ideal Danvers onion was originally oval 
or nearly flat, and it has been thought by 
many that its small neck and splendid ripen¬ 
ing habit could only be obtained in onions of 
that shape, but we have by careful selection

£outhport Red Globe... 
The onions from Southport, Conn., generally com¬ 
mand an extra price in the New York markets, because 
of their beautiful shape and color,due partly to the variety 
grown and partly to the favorable soil and extra care taken 
in handling the crop. This variety is of medium size,spheri¬ 
cal, with small neck, very deep, rich red 
color, and of superior quality. We offer 
a strain of especially good qual¬ 
ity and much superior to that 
usually sold. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 25c;

having to a remarkable degree the 
ripening habit and small neck of the 
original Danvers, and yet decidedly 
more globular in form, thus giving

Hlhifr Yields abundantly, producing handsome 
VIIVVV and uniformly globe shaped bulbs The 
flesh is firm, tine grained, and of mild flavor. Sometimes 
called Southport White Globe. To produce the beautifully 
white onions so much sought in every market, one must first 
of all have good Tseed. Second, grow well on rich lands. 
Third, exercise great care in harvesting and curing the crop. 
In Southport they “cord” up the onions in long rows, the 
bulbs on the inside, and cover with boards so that the bulbs 
are well protected in the open air from rain or dew, which 
would be sure to discolor them. We have by years of careful 
selection and breeding developed a strain which has no equal 
in uniformity and beauty of shape and color. Pkt. 5c;

soils 
shaped onion with a some¬ 
what flattened base gives 
the largest returns, and to 
meet the demands o f the 
professional onion growers 
located on such lands, we 
have developed this variety. 
The bulbs are large and uni¬ 
formly spherical, with very 
small necks and the largest 
diameter below the center 
of the bulbs; of a rich or¬ 
ange-yellow color; enor¬ 
mous yielders and splendid 
keepers. No onion grower 
can afford to plant’inferior 
seed when such as this 
can be procured.
