(CORPOK ATI ON ) 
Ails a Craig Onion. 
We offer a very fine strain of this popular onion. It is large in size, yellow in color and a good keeper. W e 
recommend it very highly to those who like raw onions, on account of their pungent flavor. Pkt. io cts.; oz. 50 
cts.; lb. $1 .50. 
Break’s Yellow Globe Danvers Onion. 
We believe we are safe in saying that three-fourths of all the Onion seed now offered is California grown. I his 
fact accounts for the low price and also for the frequent disappointment met with in the crop, late ripening, flat and 
scallion bulbs being common results. 
The strain we here offer is totally different. It is home grown and has been brought to the highest state of 
excellence by continued selection and care in growing. There is more of it sown by the leading onion growers of 
New England, who know what the market wants and what brings the highest prices, than all other special strains 
combined. We will take pleasure in furnishing to interested persons the names of a sufficient number of these leading 
growers, who plant Breck’8 Yellow Globe, to convince them of the fact. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; % lb. $1.00; lb. $3.00. 
Rhubarb, or Pie Plant. 
We can supply fine roots of these plants, which, if planted in good soil early in the spring, will yield stalks suit¬ 
able for table or for market, the following spring. 
In the Northern states, a bed of rhubarb will last from ten to fifteen years. A deep, rich soil, trenched to the 
depth of two feet, is best. Strong roots, 20cts. each; $2.00 per dozen. 
A Field of Breck’s Beardless Barley. 
Breek’s “Success, or Beardless Barley.” 
Breck’s “ Beardless Barley” is a six-rowed variety, and is one of the best grains to sow early in the spring. Seed 
sown in April will be ready for cutting early in July. It requires 2% to 3 bushels to sow one acre, and grows from 
3% to 4 feet high. It seldom lodges. It yields from 50 to 60 bushels of seeds per acre when fertilizer is used. The 
quality of the straw is excellent. It is splendid for bedding horses during winter. It is frequently used for seeding 
with Alfalfa to protect the young shoots until they get well rooted. Price per bushel, $2.00.
