GRANDPA’S ONION MIXTURE 
LONG WHITE BUNCHING ONION 
A very hardy, perennial variety used only for bunching 
or for early green onions; it forms no bulbs. Long White 
Bunching forms thicker ami whiter stems than any other 
variety, is earlier, and is milder in taste. The shoots at¬ 
tain marketable size very quick¬ 
ly and sell at top prices for early 
market. Every home should have 
a patch. Seed may be sown in 
late summer for early spring 
onions. 790 — Pkg., 10c; ok., 32c; 
% lb., .$1.00; i/ 3 lb., $2.00; lb., 
$3.50, postpaid. 
WHITE QUEEN PICKLING ONION 
Our finest pickling onion, also known as AVhite Pearl, It is of exceptional 
quality and the best of all the white picklers, growing to a size of about 
1 inch by % inch thick, with a fine neck, and is an exceedingly early strain. 
Onions remain hard and solid and more than one crop may be gathered for 
pickling in one /season from successive sowings. Although used more for 
pickling, they are of value for early green bunch onions for early use. They 
have a mild, sweet flavor. It is not quite as good a keeper as the Paris Silver 
Skin, but is a smaller onion and hence more used for pickling. Very pro¬ 
ductive and very desirable.

The Most Largely Grown Red Variety—The Greatest 
Cropping and the Standard American Red Onion 
Large bulbs, flattened, but quite thick, with rich, dark, 
purplish skin and pure white flesh of good, mild flavor, aver¬ 
aging about y 2 lb. each, but specimen bulbs of one and even 
two pounds have often been grown from our seed. Salzer’s 
Great Red Wethersfield produces larger crops than any other 
American red onion and these bulbs keep longer in good con¬ 
dition than those of any other sort. It gives its largest yield 
on rich land, but on poor and dry soils it yields better than 
any other sort. It is a medium early kind, maturing in about 
100 days, and is adapted to varied soils and to adverse cli¬ 
matic conditions. Has an exceedingly fine neck and long, 
slender leaves of a clear green color. 
This is the onion for the farmer, the citizen and the gardener 
to grow, to put in their cellars for the winter, because it is one 
of the easiest to grow and is one of the best keeping Onions, al¬ 
ways of excellent quality. 79 1—Pkg., 5c; oz., 24c; 2 oz., 42c;

Turn back to the days when 
Grandpa and Grandma planted 
the vegetable garden! There was 
always a large corner in which 
a mixture of different kinds of 
Onion seeds was planted. If 
Grandma wished a mild white 
onion for salads, it was always 
found therein; if she wished a 
more pungent one, that was 
taken, and with this in view we 
have arranged “Grandpa’s Con¬ 
glomeration Onion Mixture”; it 
contains every known sort of 
colors, shapes and sizes. 758—
