'g^rpericaq Opiops. 
One of the most wholesome foods known, and much relished by most people. Most physicians agree that the free 
use of Onions as food is a healthful and beneficial stimulant to the system. In cases of colds, coughs and lung troubles they 
are often better than medicine Certain it is that they are the best remedy for that new disease, “ La Grippe,” and their 
use is one of the best preventives from taking it. The Onion is one of those vegetables with which success or failure 
depend largely upon the quality of seed sown. Tile best Onion seed is always the cheapest. AV e are certain that ours is as 
good as can be found anywhere. Have the ground made very fine, deep and rich for Onions, and keep free from weeds* 
We also offer here two kinds of Onion Sets, which are very val 
Large Red Wethersfield A favorite red-skinned sort, of 
large size and handsome appeara’nce. Onions somewhat 
flattened, flesh purplish-white, high-flavored, and keeps 
well without rotting. A standard sort, and a great favor¬ 
ite with market gardeners. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; lb., $1.00; 
3 lbs.. $2.50 
Yellow Globe Danvers— Another popular Onion, widely 
grown for market. Plump, handsome, yellow-skinned 
bulbs, very uniform, round and perfect. We have an 
extra fine strain of this. More seed of this Onion is 
annually sown than any other variety. It does well 
everywhere, in all soils and in all climates, and is a popu¬ 
lar market sort all over the country. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; 
lb., $1.00; 3 lbs., $2.50. 
Extra Early Red —A quick growing variety, much liked in 
the North, as it grows well in cold, mucky soils where 
other sorts fail. Flavor very pleasant Pkt.. 5c.; oz., 20c.;

White Globe variety. Keeps well. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 20c.;

Egyptian or Perennial Tree Onion— In this we have an en¬ 
tirely new variety of Onion. It differs from those raised 
from seeds or sets, from the Top Onion Potato Onion, in 
the fact that when once set out, without the slightest 
protection, it will come up year after year as soon as the 
frost breaks ground, and grow so rapidly that it is ready 
for market or home use two or three weeks before any of 
them It is usually ready for the table early in May. Is 
unsurpassed for sweetness and tenderness. It is perfect¬ 
ly hardy in all sections of the North. Differs widely from 
all other forms of Top or Potato Onion, and should have 
a place in every home garden. Pint, 20c.; quart, 30c., 
postpaid; peck, by express, $1.50. 
able indeed. 
White Multiplier Onion Sets— This is the best form of a 
Potato Onion, being very early and enormously prolific, 
of good size, clear white color, and mild, sweet flavor. It 
should be in every garden. Pint, 25c.; quart, 40c., post¬ 
paid; peck, by express, $2.00.
