GIANT SPANISH ONION 
LEVANT 
HENDERSON'S SUPERIOK LARGE RED 
Wethersfield Onion 
THE LARGEST, HANDSOMEST and 
MILDEST ONION IN THE WORLD 
For many years we have been asked by our 
customers for seed of the large mild Onions 
which are imported in boxes from Spain. The 
XJ. S. Department of Agriculture, with the 
evident object of developing the home industry, 
has demonstrated clearly that just as fine Span¬ 
ish Levant Onions can be grown here as else¬ 
where. It has always been easy to procure 
seed, but by no means so easy to get it of a 
qualit}^ sufficiently good and true to name. 
There are so many strains grown, and these not 
in quantity large enough for the American 
trade. We finally chose one which appeared 
the most attractive, and under the compre¬ 
hensive name “Levant” offered it for sale last 
The insistent demand for these irnported Onions 
is due to their phenomenal size, handsome 
appearance, delicate white flesh and mild flavor. 
Their best development requires a warm, 
long season, deep, rich, well tilled soil, and water 
in abundance when needed. The long season 
is best secured by sowing the seed under glass 
or in a window box not later than March 5th, 
and transplanting them when ]/i inch in diameter 
at the base into rows, placing the plants at 8 
inches apart. Under these conditions enormous 
bulbs may be produced, fully equal in every 
respect to the imported stock. It should be 
borne in mind that this Onion lacks the keeping 
quality, of our famous American varieties, and 
therefore should bo used soon after maturity. 
It is globular inshape with small neck 
which disappears rapidly at maturity. 
The exterior color is pale yellow, the 
flesh mild in flavor, crystalline in 
appearance, and extremely attractive 
in every respect. {See cut.) Price,

A Leading Variety in All Sections Produces Enormous Onions 
Clean, Solid and Heavy A Sure Cropper and Long Keeper 
Those who prefer an Onion with an abundance of flavor 
and who consider the extremely mild varieties insipid, 
will be well satisfied with Wethersfield. Indeed for boiling 
pttrposes such highly flavored sorts are preferable, though 
they arc generally considered less suitable for slicing in 
sakids. This is a general favorite everywhere, and is 
largely grown both for market and private use. It shapes 
up very quickly, insuring a good supply during the growing 
season, while its keeping quality is equal to the best. The 
exterior color is dark glossy red, and the flesh is faintly 
tinged with the same color. Our stock is bred from the 
best bulbs only, and will be found excellent. (5ee cut.)
