The Best Commercial Yellow Globe for the Middle West 
This improved strain of Yellow Globe was developed in the great 
Onion producing district of Southwestern Michigan by one of the 
largest commercial growers and shippers. It is the heaviest yielding 
and best keeping Yellow Globe Onion grown in this state. Ripens 
early and has the fine yellow color of Southport. Bulbs grow to 
large size and are very solid. Onion buyers take these first in pref¬ 
erence to other sorts and usually pay a premium for them on ac¬ 
count of their fine size and appearance and wonderful keeping 
quality. Our supply of seed is limited, so order early. Pkt., 10c; oz,,

Onion 
Early Yellow Globe 
Here is a new early type of yellow globe onion of Connecticut 
origin which matures fully three weeks ahead of Southport and 
other similar sorts. This is a fine globe shaped onion with a beauti. 
ful yellow color. It is a splendid winter keeper and, because of its 
thick skin, keeps in storage better than most early sorts. The bulbs 
do not quite reach the size of some of the later sorts but it yields 
nearly as well and is a more .sure yielder because it is earlier. Pkt.,

Few melons have ever become so immensely popular 
in such a short time as Honey Rock. Wide awake Melon 
growers have been quick to sense the demand for Honey 
Rocks and have cashed in with them. This melon is 
especially noted for the rich, melting sweetness of the 
highly colored golden flesh. In shape the Melons are 
nearly round, averaging six inches in diameter. They are 
covered with a heavy coarse netting which is a great pro¬ 
tection in handling. The plants are heavy bearers, com¬ 
monly setting seven or more fruits. The Melons are remark¬ 
ably uniform in size, shape and flavor, and are very attractive.

hardy and vigorous. It is a good shipping sort and the size is 
just right. It has withstood the drought of the past four seasons 
extremely well and has been a real money maker. Pkt., 10c; oz.,
