somest and most profitable yellow

tiful onion that is seen every fall 
on sale at the fruit stores and 
stands in the large cities. The out¬ 
side skin is of a rich, yellow straw 
color, while the flesh is white, 
sweet, mild and tender. They 
bottom well, are free from stiff 
necks and produce enormously. 
The seed we offer is American 
grown, crop of 1898, and much 
superior in quality to the cheaper 
imported seed offered by some.
