Burgess’ Early Yellow Globe 
The Earliest Yellow Globe Onion. 
Our Early Yellow Globe Onion will produce a crop from seed which will be ready for the market about 
the same time as onions grown from sets. It is positively the earliest yellow globe onion. Onions of good size, 
fine globe shape and beautiful yellow color. As to maturity, it can be put on the market fully three weeks 
earlier than Danvers or Southport strains of yellow globe, and yields very heavily. On several occasions onion crops have been a 
failure except Early Yellow Globe, which produced a fine crop of good sized onions that brought a price much above market. Pkt.,

Mustard Spinach 
One ounce of seed to 75 feet of row. 
Mustard Spinach, or Tendergreen is ready for the table in 3 to 4 weeks 
after seed is planted. It is a very mild Mustard with a distinct Spinach 
flavor. It is an all season plant, resistant to insects and blight. The 
leaves, which are twice the size of Swiss Chard, are mostly used when 
young. Repeated plantings every two weeks will produce an abundant 
supply of delicious greens throughout the entire summer, as well as 
spring and fall. It is extremely resistant to both hot and cold weather, 
so early and late plantings are possible. The leaves are cooked and 
prepared for the table the same as Spinach. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; % lb.,

The use of onion 
plants is no longer an 
experiment. Onion 
plants are being used 
more extensively each 
year by both home 
gardeners and com¬ 
mercial growers. 
Onion plants can be 
set out as early in the 
spring as the ground can 
be worked and will grow 
well-shaped onions that 
keep as well as those 
grown from sets. 
Our onion plants will 
give you green onions 
earlier than can be had 
from sets, and large ma¬ 
tured onions about two 
weeks earlier than from 
sets and much earlier than 
from seed. Onions from 
plants seldom run to seed, 
Burgess’ Onion Plants 
come tied in bunches as 
shown above

ply plants from January 15 to June 15. Order
