MODEL EXPORT HARDY ONION 
Thin new onion, Heed of which we first offered for sale, 
originated in Northern New York, where the seed had here¬ 
tofore been controlled by a few market growers. In fine 
color I hey are different from all other onions, and might 
be described as a pinkish dark yellow or distinct man¬ 
darin color. They have become noted for their long-keep¬ 
ing qualities, commanding high prices and much sought after 
by onion dealers in New York and Boston for shipment to for¬ 
eign countries. Their rapidity of growth makes them invalu¬ 
able, as they are ready for bunching for market two weeks before 
any other onion, growing good-sized onions from the black seed 
almost as early as other onions grown from sets, and can there¬ 
fore be produced much cheaper. Per pkt., 10c.; oz., 30c.; I lb.,

WHAT GROWERS SAY OF THIS GRAND ONION 
Warren Webster, Port Monmouth, N. J., August 29th, writes: “ I had 
on Augii8t20tli onionHof your Model Export Hardy, measuring 4 inches in 
diameter, said by onion growers in this section to he ahead of all onions 
they ever saw grown from seed. They grew splendidly while other kinds 
were a failure. As I have the only Model Export in this county I will have 
a home market for them all at good prices.” 
It. O. Wif itk, W. Orange, 8. Dak., Oct. 24th, writes: ‘‘It is beyond my 
power to properly describe the merits of the New Hardy Export Onion. It 
is very large for one so early, distinct and beautiful in color, extremely 
hardy, and the onions look to me as though they would keep for a year.”
