HOME GROWN 
ONION SETS 
>|cEBENEZEROR “JAPANESE” SETS: These 
sets were produced on rich sandy loam on our 
own farms. They have been carefully cured, 
graded to maximum, and are now in cold 
storage. These should not be confused with 
western grown sets. Our sets are more evenly 
sized and in much better condition. 
These sets can be used for green onions or 
may be left and will produce large dry onions for 
early market. Very few of the plants of this 
variety go to seed. Lb. 20 cts.; pk. (8 lbs.) 
$1.00, postpaid. Bu. $3.00 not prepaid. 
Early Grano and Riverside Sweet Spanish Onion 
plants are ready May 10th to 20th. Price 35 cts. 
per 100 plants postpaid; $1.50 per 1,000 not 
prepaid.

:3kHARRIS MODEL: 150 days. An improved strain 
of the old Hollow Crown but better filled at the sides.

grow this seed from selected transplanted roots. 
This increases the cost but we feel that it is worth it 
to the gardener who wants quality parsnips. Pkt. 
5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; lb. 35 cts.; lb. $1.00. 
I 
Looks as though “Bud” was in a flower bed, doesn’t it? He really 
is inspecting our field of Harris Model Parsnips which is in full 
bloom. 
Early Grano is the mildest flavored of all onions.
