One of the most wholesome foods known, and f much 
relished by most people. Most physicians agree that the 
free use of Onions as a 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 preventatives from 
taking it. The Onion is one of those vegetables with which 
success or failure depends largely upon the quality of seed 
sown. The best Onion seed is always the cheapest. We 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 a new Onion Set on

During the past few years Italian Onions have come into 
favor with astonishing rapidity. Where a few years ago 
they were grown only as fancy garden crops, they are nw 
planted extensively for market, and they are, too, a profit¬ 
able crop, They are of rapid growth and attain a very largo 
size in a wonderfully short time. They are not only large 
but very uniform, perfect in shape, and exceedingly hand¬ 
some in appearance. In quality they are acknowledged on 
all sides to be the best, having an exceedingly mild, delicate 
and pleasant flavor. For eating raw, they are, of course, 
greatly superior to other Onions, owing to the mildness nt 
their flavor. These Onions do best on a rich, light or sandy 
soil, in a warm and, if possible, sheltered situation.
