rapidly. It produces a large yield in weight per

condition when all the other varieties are show¬ 
ing growth. One of the finest strains to use for

587 Shumway’s Early Red Globe 
Earliest of All Red Globes 
Big Money Maker 
Early Red Globe has been one of my 
Onion specialties for many years Bulbs 
are perfectly globe-shaped and unifoimly 
small necked, which insures thorough di> 
ing out near the top where nearly all the 
trouble originates in keeping onions. Color 
is deep blood red. Having been raised so 
long in a favorable climate, it has formed 
the^habit of early ripening and yet 
to full marketable size early. A very pro¬ 
ductive variety and excellent keeper, rkt., 
5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; % lb.. 40 cts.; Vz lb., 70 
cts.; lb., $1.25; 2 lbs., $2.25. postpaid.

upper portion and a trifle flattened at the base. They are good sized and uni¬ 
form. The skin is a deep yellow; the flesh firm and solid with a mild, sweet 
flavor. A heavy yielder and a fine keeper. Matures a trifle later than South- 
port Yellow Globe. Hundreds of commercial planters and home gardeners de¬ 
pend on this annually. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 14 Cts.; Vi lb., 38 cts.; 1/2 lb., 63 cts.;

time. Splendid for sets and widely grown for lull size 
Onions. This is the onion for the farmer, and gardener to
