Isbell’s Evergood Red 
Globe Onion

IN CULTIVATION

one of our leading specialties 
for many years. Bulbs are 
perfectly globe-shaped and 
uniformly small necked, 
which insures thorough 
drying out near the top 
where nearly all the trouble 
originates in keeping on¬ 
ions. Color is deep blood 
red. Having been raised so 
long in a favorable climate, 
it has formed the habit of 
early ripening, and yet 
grows to full marketable 
size. The Evergood is a 
magniflcent keeper. Ma¬ 
tures in 10 days. Pkt., 10c;

Southport Red Globe 
Grown from hand-picked bulbs, 
only bulbs which are perfect in 
size and shape being used for

highest price. They are more uniform in size, darker 
colored skin, heavier and better keepers than any strain 
of Southport we have ever seen. Keeps well until spring.

lb., $3.75, prepaid. 
New White Bunching Onion 
This new Onion resembles White Welsh but the edible 
stems are whiter and much longer. The flavor is very mild 
and the onions remain tender and crisp and hold the pure 
white color. Seed may be sown very early in the spring or 
in midsummer or fall to get onions very early the following 
spring. It is hardy and trenches well. This is the finest 
perennial bunch Onion for a critical market demanding a 
fancy grade. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; % lb., 85c; lb., $3.00, 
prepaid. 
ONION SEED 
MORE DOLLARS worth of onions can be grown on an acre 
than almost any other crop. They are most suited to produce 
big crops under intense cultivation. The small grower has the 
same chance as the big grower, and many a housewife has 
made pin monej' and more from onions. 
THE SEED is all-important—many poor strains of onion 
seed are on the market. They will grow onions—but all sorts 
and sizes. Buy your seed from a reliable firm. 
CULTURE. —Be very careful about preparing the soil. It 
should be weil pulverized and smooth. The richer the soil, the 
bigger the crop will be. Sow the seed as early as the ground 
can be worked in rows 12 to 15 inches apart, covering one-half 
inch deep. When plants are up cultivate thoroughly, keep free 
from weeds and thin to one inch apart in the row. One ounce 
will sow about 150 feet of drill; 4 to 6 pounds per acre. For 
sets sow 50-60 lbs. per acre. 
Onion Seed made an extremely short erop. Order early. Prices 
quoted are subject to chiuige. 
Isbell’s Michigan Yellow Globe 
(Brigham Strain) 
This improved strain of Yellow Globe was developed in the 
great Onion producing district of Southwestern Michigan by one 
of the largest commercial groovers and shippers, after years of 
careful selection. It is the heaviest yielding and best keeping Yel¬ 
low 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 
preference to other sorts and usually pay a 
premium for them on account of their fine 
size and appearance and wonderful keeping 
quality. Our supply of seed is limited, so 
order early. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; % lb., .$1.25; 
lb., $4.50, preiiaid. 
Yellow Globe Danvers 
Our strain of Yellow 
Globe Dan'vers is unsur¬ 
passed. It forms a large, 
deep, heavy bulb with small 
neck, but is not quite as 
oval in form as the South- 
port type of Globe Onions. 
Being of unusually hand¬ 
some appearance, it is in¬ 
variably a market favorite. 
The flavor is rather mild. 
It matures early and yet is 
a splendid keeper. Its yield¬ 
ing qualities are equal to 
the best and it weighs very 
heavy to the measured 
bushel. Matures in 125 days. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; lb., 
$1.00; lb., $3.75, prepaid. 
Southport 
Yellow Globe 
Similar in shape to the 
other Southport Globe 
Onions, but differing in 
color. Is entirely distinct 
from the Danvers type, be¬ 
ing more globe shaped. Flesh is white and of mild flavor; 
handsome in appearance, large in size, a heavy cropper 
and an excellent keeper. We sell large quantities of seed 
of this variety to Onion growers who ship in carloads to 
Eastern markets. Matures in 125 days. Pkt,, 10c; oz., 35c; 
14 lb.. .'R1.25: lb.. $1.25, prepaid.
