large yielder and keeps well. It is pure, deep yellow, with firm, hard, 
white flesh, mild and of excellent flavor. It is of true globe shape, 
with flattened base, and the slender neck cures down to almost 
nothing. It matures quickly and can be put on the market early.

tained the small neck and the uniformity of ripening. The bulbs, of 
medium to large size, are uniformly globe-shaped, with small necks; 
ripen evenly and are of a rich, coppery yellow color. The flesh is 
creamy white, crisp, solid, and of mild and excellent flavor. An excel¬ 
lent keeper, and a very fine shipping onion. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; 14 lb.,

EBENEZER or “JAPANESE.” It is very mild, tender, of delicate flavor 
and of excellent quality. Makes a nice sized Onion from seed, unsur¬ 
passed for producing early Onions from sets. The best kind for pro¬ 
ducing ripe Onions earlier than they can be grown from seed. The 
large onions or sets are firm, solid, wonderful keepers, flattened in 
shape, of deep yellow color and mild flavored. For prices of sets see

cooked. The Onions are of perfect globe shape, deep red, and with 
small tops. Our strain is very fine, being grown from selected bulbs 
only. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; *4 lb., 80c; lb., $2.25. 
HOLMES' GENUINE BOTTLE ONIONS. It derives its name from 
its long, bottle-like shape; being mild and sweet, is absolutely unsur¬ 
passed in flavor. Bottle Onion grows longer, whiter and has more edi¬ 
ble stalk than any other onion. See page 3. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 14 lb., 
$1.35; lb., $4.75. 
MOUNTAIN DANVERS. The fact that it will mature a hard uniform 
bulb several days ahead of Yellow Globe Danvers has made it a fa¬ 
vorite of the large growers. The earliness is the result of two things: 
the high altitude at which it is grown, and the 18 years of careful 
selection by the grower. The deep yellow bulb is apple-shaped with a 
thin neck, very solid, mild flavor, has excellent keeping and shipping 
qualities and cures exceptionally well. Our strain shows high purity 
in both type and color. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; V4 lb., 65c; lb., $2.00.

ed, cures well, of pure snow white color, very good quality, fine¬ 
grained, and of mild flavor. When thick in the row, this Onion ma¬ 
tures when small and is excellent for pickling or bunching, pkt., 10c; 
oz., 20c; V4 lb., 65c; lb., $2.00. 
WHITE BUNCHING. This onion is becoming more and more popular, 
for beyond doubt it is the best of the bunching onions. The flavor is 
mild, and the onion remains tender and pure white. Is especially 
adapted for bunching, growing a large thick stem with no bulb. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 20c; % lb., 65c; lb., $2.00.
