It is one or the best of the large European sorts that has become 
thoroughly acclimated in America and is exceptionally pro¬ 
ductive under proper conditions. If started very early in hot¬ 
bed it will produce a mammoth onion the first season. ’ Pkt. 8c,

Yellow Globe Danvers 
17 if /"-i i One of the most extensively used 
YcllOW Lzlobe Llanvers 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 bulos without sacrificing any 
of the good qualities of the original Danvers. Pkt. 8c, 2 for 15c;

m «« | • 1711 /^«ii The heaviest yield of onions is 
Michigan Yellow lalobe 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, 
uniformly globe shaped, with small neck; shoulder usually slightly 
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 auality. 
This main crop sort ripens down evenly, keeps very well and is ex¬ 
cellent for shipping. No onion grower can afford to plant inferior 
seed when such as this can be procured. Pkt. 8c, 2 for 15c;
