JOHNSON & STOKES. PHILADELPHIA 
There is no vegetable in which the quality of the seed exerts a greater influence upon the crop than 
in onions. Our stock is all grown from choice bulbs, selected by hand, and is unsurpassed in this 
country. During our whole business career as seedsmen, it has always been our aim to make quality a 
first consideration, price afterwards, and in no one crop have we met with greater reward for our efforts 
than in onions, the demand for our seed having increased so rapidly that we have been obliged to 
largely increase our facilities for growing every year for several years past. 
One ounce will sow one hundred feet of drill. To grow large onions from seed, five pounds to the 
acre' to grow small sets, fifty to sixty pounds to the acre are required. For full information for culture, 
storage and marketing onions and onion sets, see our New Leaflet-Essays on this subject, which will 
be sent free with all orders for onion seed, when requested. <
