See Colored Picture 
Inside Front Cover 
This is absolutely the largest and 
mildest onion that can be grown 
from seed in the north. Single 
onions have been grown that 
weighed over four pounds. These 
enormous onions are a beautiful 
golden yellow, perfect globe shape 
and the very sweetest and mildest 
onions you have ever tasted. Yields 
from 500 to 1000 bushels per acre 
are not uncommon. At the meet¬ 
ing of the South Dakota Horti¬ 
cultural Society, the Yellow Sweet 
Spanish Onion was highly recom¬ 
mended, outyielding all other 
onions. The mild flavor and fine 
appearance make them salable at 
the highest market price. Pkt., 6c; 
oz., 25c; >4 lb., 75c; 1 lb., $2.25; 
4 lbs., $8.25 Postpaid.

• PRIZETAKER 
(110 days to maturity)—This is 
the largest of the American onions, 
the most handsome; and mildest in 
flavor. Our seed stock of this onion 
is pure American grown and pro¬ 
duces the largest and handsomest onion we have 
ever seen, many of the bulbs weighing as high 
as 3 lbs. each. Skin rich golden color, and so 
mild and sweet it can be eaten raw like an apple. 
This onion is a reasonably good keeper, but should 
be disposed of by January 1st. We strongly urge 
the planting of a reasonable acreage of this 
variety, as it will certainly prove profitable. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; J4 lb., 65c; 1 lb., $1.90, 
4 lbs., $7.25 Postpaid. 
® SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE 
(110 days to maturity) — The true Southport 
Yellow Globe is particularly valuable for winter 
market. It is a more perfect globe than the 
Yellow Globe Danvers and a better keeper. The 
onions are similar in size and form to the South- 
port Red Globe, but have a pale straw yellow 
skin, mild flavor and a heavy cropper. Owing to 
its handsome appearance and delightful flavor it 
sells readily on all markets. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 
!4 lb., 70c; 1 lb., $2.00; 4 lbs., $7.50 Postpaid. 
RED ONIONS 
« SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE 
(110 days to maturity)—We consider this the 
most profitable of the onions for planting in the 
north. Brings the best price on the market of 
any of the red onions. Its large size, dark, glossy 
red color and the fact that it is one of the best 
keepers makes it very desirable. We would 
advise that you make the bulk of your planting 
Southport Red Globes. This variety has given as 
high as 900 bushels per acre, and is the leading 
market onion in the north. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 
14 lb., 65c; 1 lb., $1.90; 4 lbs., $7.25 Postpaid. 
You can not plant a crop on your farm that will produce more 
dollars per acre than an acre of onions. Yields will run from 300 
to 1000 bushels per acre depending on the season and care. 
Onions sell from 50c to $1.50 per bushel. Figure the cost of pro¬ 
duction as high as you please and still you could not come within a 
mile of the gross profit with any other crop. 
Plant as many onions as you can 
take care of. Your profits will take 
care of you.

WHITE ONIONS 
• GURNEY’S DAKOTA RED GLOBE 
In offering the “Dakota” Onion we wish to 
tell you something of it. The parentage of this 
onion is strictly Southport Red Globe, but has 
been grown in Dakota for a number of years, and 
by careful selection of the bulbs and saving of 
the seed crop we have produced an onion that is 
very uniform in size, very dark red in color, a 
perfect globe, and quite a bit earlier than any 
other globe onion that we know of-. We consider 
this one of the most profitable onions for the 
people of the Northwest to plant. On account 
of being able to market them earlier than other 
varieties you can secure a better price, and as 
the yield is equally as large as any other variety 
it is certainly more profitable to plant them. 
The seed will cost you a little more money than 
the others, but a few cents per acre are more 
than made up by the results in the fall. Pkt., 7c; 
oz., 25c; 14 lb., 75c; |/ 2 lb., $1.25; 1 lb., $2.25; 
4 lbs., $8.25 Postpaid.

« SOUTHPORT LARGE 
WHITE GLOBE 
(110 days to maturity) — This is 
the best all-purpose white onion in 
cultivation; it is large, a perfect 
globe, silvery white and the very 
best keeper, and excellent quality. 
In growing onions we advise that 
you put in a part of your acreage 
of this large White Globe, as there is always a 
demand for a reasonable amount of them at a 
better price than you could get for other onions. 
On account of their mild flavor they are partic¬ 
ularly valuable for green onions for bunches. 
Pkt., 6c; oz., 30c; 'A lb., 80c; 1 lb., $2.45; 
4 lbs., $8.75 Postpaid. 
e HE-SHI-KO 
New Japanese Bunching Onion. — This is the 
very best of the bunching onions. The long thick, 
pure white stalks keep their sweetness and 
mild flavor even if left in the ground until fall. 
They are tender and crisp at all times. A bed 
of these will supply you with delicious green 
onions seven months of the year. Pkt., 8c; oz., 
30c; 14 lb., 85c; 1 lb., $2.65. 
• WHITE WELCH BUNCHING ONION 
(90 days to maturity)— For early green onionsi 
the seed of this onion may be treated as any 
onion seed, making one-third the expense and 
trouble of planting top sets and producing more 
green onions. The flavor is the sweetest of all 
onions. The plant is perennial and may be left 
in the ground for years with but slight protec¬ 
tion. Maximum results, however, are obtained 
by treating as an annual; sow in the spring or 
fall. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 'A lb., 75c; 1 lb., $2.25. 
• LEEK 
London Flag—Sow early in the spring in 
drills one inch deep and one foot apart. When six 
or eight inches high transplant in rows 13 inches 
apart and 5 inches between the plants as deep as 
possible, that the neck may be blanched. One oz. 
to 150 feet drilled. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; lb., 
70c; 1 lb., $2.25. 
A good seeder and wheel hoe will pay for itself many times over in raising an acre of onions.
