FORREST’S HONEST SEEDS 
ONION SEED 
Pure, sure, and true to name. We realize the importance of good Onion Seed, that 
we know will grow, that is sure to produce the variety you expect when you plant the 
seed. We pride ourselves at being over particular; and have confidence when we send 
it out that it is just what we say. Now, we do not wish to tell you that our seed will 
produce 1,500 to 2,000 bushels to the acre, but it is good, true, honest seed. Our man 
who helps us look after the Onion Seed, says: “You can guarantee every seed as repre¬ 
sented.” That’s pretty strong, but he has selected the Onions, watched them from 
the planting to the harvest and is proud of the many words of praise received from 
our customers. We have never seen a strain superior to ours, and have seldom seen 
one equal to it for purity, form, color, or keeping qualities, and freedom from scullions 
and thick-neck, and can assure our customers that no better, truer stock can be ob¬ 
tained at any price. 
We have no second-grade seed to sell; our energies are all to get the best that can 
be produced. We have a model, and we breed toward that model, trying for perfection, 
and how well we have succeeded is proved by our constantly increasing trade. We 
pride ourselves in growing the very best Onion Seed that can be produced and we supply 
some of the largest growers in the United States.

is of the finest form, skin deep purplish red, flesh purplish white, much finer grained than many of 
the red sorts. Immense crops of this onion are grown in each season from our seed by some of the
