LARGE RED WETHERSFIELD—There are many strains of this celebrated Onion offered 
but we are sure that none can surpass our famous stock of this popular variety. Some strains 
will not mature until late in October and this is just what Onion growers should avoid. We have 
taken particular pains for years in selecting from bulbs that will produce very large crops of these 
Onions, maturing early in the fall and 2 Ih. specimens the first year from seed are of frequent oc- 
cu ranee. Yields of 600 to 800 bushels of our Wethersfield per acre are not uncommon. It is a mag¬ 
nificent keeper, the skin being a deep purplish red, flesh pure white and moderately fine grain. 
p e , y . are excellent for shipping and we claim there is no strain that can surpass our famous stock 
of this popular variety. Thousands of our customers have endorsed this as the best they have ever 
grown. We consider it in every way a perfect red Onion, for home or market purposes. Our 
stock of so d is somewhat limited, but we expect to have enough to go around at the following 
prices: Pkt., 5c.; 3 pkts., 18c.; oz.. 85c.; 8 ozs., 40c., Yi lb., 75c. 
Extra Early Red Onion. 
EXTRA EARLY RED—This is one of the 
standard American Onions, adapting itself to a 
wide variety of soils and situations. It will suc¬ 
ceed in cold mucky ground where other sorts will 
fail. It matures sometime before Red Wethers¬ 
field and if grown in rich soil produces bulbs al¬ 
most as large, but the bulbs are somewhat flatten¬ 
ed. It can be made to produce fine Onions in 
ninety days from sowing the seed. It is of mild 
flavor and keeps well. Color is a deep rich red. 
The grain is fine and close and the Onion is solid 
and heavy. Well adapted for early market. This 
Onion will succeed almost anywhere and is par¬ 
ticularly adapted for northern latitude, or where 
the seasons are short and cold. Pkt., 5c.; 3
