Salzer’s Giant 
Silver King 
Each succeeding- year the popularity of 
this Onion increases. Gardeners, farmers 
and truckers grow more enthusiastic in its 
praise, and well they may, for this great 
Onion deserves every word of praise that 
can be spoken. Although we offered Silver 
King for the first time in 1884, we do not 
believe any other variety of vegetable ex¬ 
cepting possibly our Giant Flat Dutch and 
Lightning Cabbage has since been more 
unanimously endorsed by one and all every¬ 
where. 
Salzer’s Giant Silver King Onion is ideal 
for exhibition, fancy market or for the home 
table. We have grown specimens at Cliff- 
wood Farms, 22 inches in circumference 
instead of 21 inches as shown in the illus¬ 
tration, and weighing 4 pounds. Matures 
early and is uniformly large and of fine 
shape, flatfish round and thick. The silvery 
white skin is very thin and the fine grained, 
white flesh is of such mild and deliciously 
sweet flavor that it can be eaten raw like an 
apple. Fully grown, they measure five to 
seven inches in diameter; they mature 
evenly and keep well in storage. No other 
white onion attains such mammoth size, nor 
will any other white variety grow so uni¬ 
formly large. 
YELLOW SWEET SPANISH ONION 
Here is a grand, brand new, and entirely distinct onion that 
will mean a profit of from $200.00 to $300.00 more per acre than 
is possible with other onions. Salzer’s Sweet Spanish is so mild 
and sweet that it is delicious when eaten like an apple. 
It is one of the largest and one of the best all around onions 
ever produced. It is a fine, attractive, light yellow color. It is 
a dandy shipper. It is of a handsome, large, globular shape, 
and the sparkling flesh is pure, clear white, tender, and re¬ 
markably sweet and luscious. At C'liffwood Farms we picked, 
up a few of these onions at random and placed them side by 
side on a yardstick. It took just seven to measure 36 inches, 
and they weighed 16% pounds. Once tasted, always grown. 
Mrs. Aug. Roslansky, R. D. 2, Lake Park, Iowa, writes, “I raised 
some of your Sweet Spanish Onions last year, as big as a saucer 
and so sweet and juicy.” Mr. A. L. Buckland, Marietta, Minn., 
writes, “Have used your Onion Seed for 50 years with good re¬ 
sults, Yellow Sweet Spanish is extra flue.” Mr. E. R. Lemke, 
R. D. 5, Box 4, Marshfield, Wis., writes, “Your Sweet Spanish 
Onions are the best we ever raised and the best keepers.” Order 
early.

Onion 
Mr. W. H. Mills, Star Route, Elgin, Nebr.,

it was fine, clean seed, and not mixed. I raised a 
splendid crop of onions/’ Mrs. J. M. Lampy, R. D. 
10, Box 61, Celina, O., writes, “I raised some of Sal¬ 
zer’s Silver King Onions that weighed 3 lbs.” Mr. 
Laverne Hamilton, Box 191, 4-Mile Ranch, Mussel¬ 
shell, Mont., writes, “I have never found anything 
that equals Salzer’s Silver King Onions.” Salzer’s 
Giant Silver King is enormously productive and

white onions of the finest flavor will be more than

SALZER’S EBENEZER 
The mildest flavored onion we have ever tasted, 
and it will keep hard and sound all winter long. 
Flesh is white and crisp, rounded shape, straw col¬ 
ored skin. One of the best mild onions for the home 
garden. Salzer’s Bbenezer is a leading variety with 
gardeners everywhere because of its unusual keep¬ 
ing qualities, carrying through winter without loss, because of its 
pleasing flavor, attractive appearance, and its large uniform size. 
It is also equally valuable for the home gardener. 765—Pkg., 5c;

WHITE PORTUGAL OR SILVERSKIN 
A very popular and widely grown white onion. It is a splen¬ 
did sort for growing white onion sets, pickles, and for early 
bunching green onions, and we urge every gardener to make a 
liberal sowing of this variety for continuous use. The large, 
mature onion is of mild and pleasant flavor and is of somewhat 
flattened shape. A great seller on the market. It is very popu¬ 
lar for family use, it is an 
ideal slicer and the smaller 
bulbs unsurpassed for pickling 
purposes. Matures quickly and 
may be sown as late as June 
to produce small pickling on¬ 
ions by fall. Keeping quali¬ 
ties are not of the best, but it 
is splendid for early winter 
use. Matures in 110 days.

I have certainly found Salzer’s Seeds and Salzer’s Service beyond reproach.—Rev. Ralph E. Baker, Woden, Iowa,
