We have reduced the price for 1937 on nearly all Onion 
Seed. The crop was large last year and we are sharing the 
saving with our customers. Another co-operative effort to 
make 1937 your Greater Prosperity Year. 
On page 2 of this catalog there is a very interesting analysis 
of the way to make more dollars from Onion crops. Also a 
beautiful color illustration of our Brigham Strain 
Michigan Yellow Globe. 
All Isbell Onion Seed is carefully grown from 
hand selected bulbs. The quality is always the best 
and always true to type. 
CULTURE. —Be very careful about preparing’ the 
soil. It should be well pulverized and smooth. The 
richer the soil, the bigger the crop will be. Sow the 
seed as early as the ground can be worked in rows 
12 to 15 inches apart, covering one-half inch deep. 
When plants are up cultivate thoroughly, keep free 
from weeds and thin out to prevent crowding. One 
ounce will sow about 150 feet of drill; 4 to 6 pounds 
per acre.

ish Onion, producing very large, 
globe-shaped Onions of light 
yellow color, having an ex¬ 
tremely mild, sweet flavor. Has 
quickly become very popular in

Ebenezer or 
Japanese 
Southport Yellow Globe 
The flesh is white, firm and 
of a very delicate flavor. The 
Onions are large, somewhat flat¬ 
tened, yellow skinned and have 
very small tops and mature 
early. They will keep sound and 
hard all winter. Ebenezer has 
such a reputation for quality 
that the Onions of this variety 
command much higher prices 
than other kinds. Used exten¬ 
sively for growing onion sets. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 34 lb., 60c; 
lb., $2.00, prepaid. 
Yellow Globe Danvers 
Our strain of Yellow Globe Danvers is unsurpassed. It 
forms a large, deep, heavy bulb with small neck, but is 
not quite as oval in form as the Southport type of Globe 
Onions. The flavor is rather mild. It matures early and 
yet is a splendid keeper. Its yielding qualities are equal 
to the best. Matures in 125 days. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 
34 lb., 50c; lb., $1.75, prepaid. 
Southport Yellow Globe 
Similar in shape to the other Southport Globe Onions, 
but differing in color. Is entirely distinct from the Dan¬ 
vers type, being more globe shaped. Flesh is white and 
of mild flavor; handsome in appearance, large in size, a 
heavy cropper and an excellent keeper. We sell large 
quantities of seed of this variety to Onion growers who 
ship in carloads to Eastern markets. Matures in 125 
days. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 34 lb., 60c; lb., $2.00. 
Mountain Danvers 
Heavy yielder. Ripens early and is very hard and solid, 
without any thick neck. Is of good size, of slightly flat¬ 
tened globe shape like the Danvers Yellow Globe, but a 
darker yellow color. The crop ripens evenly, without any 
scallions, and will keep with less shrinkage or loss from 
any cause than any other Onion. We recommend it tor 
market and home garden. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 34 lb., 60c;
