Three New and Superior Globe Onions 
After several years’ careful selection and 
tests of tliis new sort, we are able to oiler the 
seed for the first time. It is of true globe shape 
and earliest of the yellow globe varieties. The 
skin is bright, glossy orange-yellow ; the llesh 
is white and fine grained. Tlie bulbs are remark¬ 
ably uniform in size and shape; being firm and 
hard, possess fine keeping and shipping (piali- 
ties. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 35c.; } lb., §1.00; lb., §3.50. 
Morse Brown Globe Onion 
This new variety originated with C. C. 
Morse & Co., the largest and most e.xpert onion 
growers of California. The shai)e is a true and 
uniform very deep globe, as shown in our photo¬ 
graph alongside. The color is rich seal brown ; 
the skin is thick, and flesh white, linn and line 
grained. It has all the extra good keejnng 
ipialities of the well-known Australian Brown.

New Onion —Johusoii’s Lotig-keepiii^ Pfizetaker 
Yellow Globe Onion 
The steadily increasing popularity of the globe type of onion is, no doubt, due to the fact that good 
globe onions command the highest market price. Intelligent and carefully directed ellbrts on our own 
part, and those of our expert seed growers, have done much for the development and maintenance of 
these superior types. It is not alone sulficient to breed up a strain to the ideal, but it is necessary, year 
after year, to give the most careful cultivation 
and selection to prevent any deterioration; this 
is especially true of this type of onions. Onion 
seed is in very short supply this season. For 
other varieties of onions, see pages 38 and 39.

Since its introduction in 
1888, the old Prizetaker Onion 
has grown in poinilarity, the 
only objection being its keeping 
(inaliticH, wliich have not been 
u p to the standard of many of the 
.'Vmerican varieties. For several 
years past, however, a i)romi- 
nent onion grower has been 
making selections and breeding 
the old Prizetaker until he has 
obtained a strain which, in 
keeping quality, is fully equal 
to Danvers and the Soutlqiort 
(llobes. This strain, which can 
only beliad from us this season, 
is bj' far the largest in size and 
liandsomesl in sliaiie of all the 
YellowGlobeOnions. Pkt., 10c.;
