PERFECTION BRAND SEEDS 
Perfection Brand Onion Seed 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill, 4 pounds will bow an acre. We pride ourselves on selling the very best onion 
seed that can be produced, and are now supplying some of the largest onion-growers in the country. By sowing our 
seed, large onions can be produced direct from the seed. 
CULTURE!—Sow in the early spring, in moist soil, as soon as the weather will permit, in rows 12 inches apart, 
and cover half inch deep. If the onions grow too thick, thin to 1 inch apart, or only a very few onions will be the 
result. Manure highly (twenty loads to the acre being used by many market gardeners with profit), and if manure 
is not plentiful, some good phosphate, at the rate of 400 to 800 pounds per acre will give good results. A top dressing 
of wood ashes, applied after the second weeding, is very beneficial. 
SOIL—Onions need rich loam, with a slight mixture of clay, manuring for two years previous. 
MANURING—A liberal use of manure is essential and it should be of the best quality, well fermented, and shoveled 
over at least twice the previous summer to kill the weeds. 
GIANT YELLOW PRIZETAKER—The American- 
grown Giant Yellow Prizetaker is far the handsomest, 
most productive, most popular, and best of the yellow 
skin onions. The flesh is pure white, firm and fine¬ 
grained, and mild in flavor. It is of immense size, 
sometimes measuring from 10 to 12 inches in circum¬ 
ference. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; X A lb., 90c; lb., $2.75, post¬ 
paid. 
SOUTHPORT LARGE RED GLOBE—This handsome 
and most red-colored of all red sorts is becoming more 
popular every season. It is of a rich, glossy dark red, 
and makes a very attractive appearance. The bulbs are 
remarkably uniform in size and are splendid keepers. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; X A lb., 90c; lb., $2.75, postpaid. 
Crystal White Wax Bermuda 
CRYSTAL WHITE WAX BERMUDAS—Genuine Teneriffe grown. A

and sweet that they can be eaten like an apple. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 
X A lb.. 90c; lb., $2.75, postpaid.

cellent keeper. Pkt., 5c; oz., 30c; X A lb., $1.00, postpaid.

pale yellow color; crisp, pure white flesh of mild flavor. Pkt., 10c; oz.,

onion, weighing from 1 to 3 pounds. It is unusually mild but still re¬ 
tains its genuine onion flavor. Planted at the proper time and thor¬ 
oughly curpd, it is a good keeper and will ship as good as any other 
shipping onion. It requires about 2 lbs. to plant an acre. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 30c; X A lb.. 90c: lb.. $2.50. postpaid. 
Trust us to get the best—Wherever grown. 
How often have we observed some one advertising “Northern Grown 
Seeds” ? To infer that only “Northern Grown” seeds are safe to plant 
is misleading, to say the least. 
The fact of the matter is, Garden and Flower Seeds are grown in all 
parts of the globe. Depending on where one resides, of course, some are 
Southern grown, others Northern, Elastern or Western. All our seeds are 
grown in that part of the world where most adapted.

PARSLEY 
The leaves are used for garnishing meats, fish and other dishes, and 
as flavoring for soups and stews. Grows in any garden soil. Seed is 
of slow germination and should be planted early in spring in rows 
10 inches apart. A few plants will supply a family. 
MOSS CURLED—-Leaves are very ornamental, curled and crimped; 
also excellent for seasoning. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; X A lb., 25c. 
PARSNIPS 
This is a hardy vegetable, used for food for both humans and stock. 
It is grown similar to the carrot, and requires a rich, loamy soil. 
IMPROVED HOLLOW CROWN—A great cropper and considered 
the best for cultivation. The roots are long, smooth, tender, and very 
sugary. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; X A lb., 40c. 
LEEK 
A very delicately flavored member of the onion family. The leafy 
portion of the plant is used for flavoring soups or boiling with 
meats while the white fleshy stems are boiled and either served with 
cream dressing or as a salad with vinegar and salad oil. Leeks prefer 
a rich, light soil. Cultivate the same as onions. Filling up will 
blanch the stalks and improve their quality. One ounce will sow 
about 100 feet of drill.

winter. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c. postpaid.
