BRECK’S DANVERS YELLOW GLOBE ONION. 
(Massachusetts Grown Seed.) 
The failure for a number of years of the once popular Strat¬ 
agem Pea to give satisfaction to market gardeners has been 
well-known and has caused many growers and dealers to en¬ 
deavor to obtain a reliable substitute for it, but few of the sorts 
offered to take its place have proved of any value. Two vears 
ago we were shown by a New York State grower a Pea which 
somewhat resembled the original Stratagem but which was of 
fully more vigorous growth both in vine and pod. The owner 
of the stock claimed that it was a perfectly distinct and fixed type 
and bound, on account of its many good points, to become a 
popular sort when offered the public in sufficient quantity. We 
examined the stock again, summer of 1894, an d were so much 
impressed with its value that we made arrangements which 
enable us to offer it to our customers. Breck’s New* Life is 
a wrinkled, green-seeded variety of sturdy, vigorous growth, 
and the vines grow' to a height of two feet and are unusually 
prolific. The pods, mostly borne in pairs, are/large, of good 
color and well filled with peas of the best qualify, and are quite 
showy in all stages of growth. It wyll, we think, prove to be a 
standard main crop variety. Per pkfv 40 cts. ; pint, 35 cts.; 
quart, 60 cts.

The above is a photograph of an Onion field on the farm of 
Mr. W. II. Kimball, Lexington, Mass. The crop was grown 
from our seed on Bradley’s Fertilizer only and was phenomenal 
in quantity and quality — almost a thousand bushels per acre of 
good sized, uniform shaped onions of a handsome color were 
harvested—Seed of the same strain. Per pkt., 10 cts. ; ounce, 
30 cents.; pound, $3.00.
