EARLY WHITE WELSH (Peren nial). The first variety to 
be ready for green onions in the Spring. It is a perennial, forms no 
bulbs, is perfectly hardy, and when once set will remain in the 
ground year after, year. It does not produce top sets, but is propa¬ 
gated from seed or divisions. It is very mild and of excellent quality. 
Seed may be sown in spring, summer or fall. Fall sown seed will 
produce onions in the spring earlier than onions grown from sets, and 
will bring top market prices. Pkt., lOc; oz., 22c; % lb., 65c; 
lb., $2.10; 2 lbs., $3.60; 5 lbs., $8.40, postpaid. 
Evergreen White Bunching 
A very profitable home and market garden variety for young or 
bunching onions. Produces a cluster of 4 to 6 long, white shoots 
from a single seed in the first season. By drawing the soil up around 
the plants these tender shoots can be blanched 24 inches. Winters 
over well where weather is not too severe and provides a heavy crop 
for early harvest if planted in midsummer. Pkt., lOc; oz., 25c: % lb.. 
Mountain Danvers Onion 
Mountain Danvers 
Extra Early Yellow 
Wonderful Keeper 
Mountain Danvers is an 
extra early maturing strain 
of Yellow Globe Onion, ripen¬ 
ing about two weeks earlier 
than Y'ellow Globe Danvers. 
It is semi-round, of deep yel¬ 
low color, very hard and 
solid, without any thick neck, 
and ripens practically all the 
crop at once. These onions 
have remarkable keeping quali¬ 
ties ; can be kept all winter 
in common storage, and show 
less shrinkage than any other 
variety. They do not get 
quite as large as the Yellow 
Globe Danvers, but are of 
good size, and are often found 
more profitable than the later 
kinds becatise they can be mar¬ 
keted before other kinds are 
ready. It is a wonderful Y^ellow 
Onion for sections where the sea¬ 
son is short or wherever an early 
maturing variety is wanted. Pkt., 
lOc; oz., 20c; U, lb., 60c; lb.,

EBENEZER 
The Extra Early, Long Keeping, 
Mild Onion 
One of the mildest flavored Onions 
grown. The flesh is white, firm and 
of a very delicate flavor. The Onions 
are quite similar to Yellow Globe 
Danvers in shape but much larger in 
size, yellow skinned and have very 
small tops and mature early. Those 
who want a nice mild Onion, either 
for large Onions or bottom sets, 
would do well to try the Ebenezer. 
Sets of this variety rarely produce 
.seed stalks as otiier kinds do. The 
Ebenezer is such a good keeper that 
even those ripening in July will keep 
sound and hard through the fall and 
all winter. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; % lb., 
50c: lb., $1.60; 2 lbs., $2.75; 5 lbs., 
$6.40; 10 lbs., $12.00, postpaid. 
Crystal Wax Bermuda 
The most attractive onion in the 
world. Absolutely pure white. Many 
car loads of these flat white onions 
are grown annually in Texas and 
shipped Nortli for early Spring use.

the earliest Onions grown, and the 
earliest of the Bermuda type; very 
sweet and mild. Pkt., lOc; oz., 25c; 
Vi lb., 75c; lb., $2.50; 2 lbs., $4.25; 
5 lbs., $10.00; 10 lbs., $18.75, post¬ 
paid. 
Michigan or Ohio Yellow Globe 
A very attractive Onion: skin pure deep yellow; flesh firm and hard; small 
neck. A lieavy yielder and an excellent keeper. Similar to Southport Yellow 
Globe except more flat bottomed. It has been found by some growers that 
on rich, black lands a globe shaped onion with a somewhat flattened base gives 
the largest returns, and to meet the demands of such growers, tins variety was 
developed. Pkt., 8c: oz., 20c; Vi lb., 60c; lb., $1.85; 2 lbs., $3.15; 5 lbs., 
$7.40; 10 lbs., $13.90, postpaid. 
SEED for ONION SETS 
White Portugal 
Sets are grown the same as large 
Onions, except that the seed is sown 
thickly — one pound of seed to each 100 feet of drill. Sets produced in 
this way can be kept all winter in a cool dry place, and if planted early 
in the spring, will produce ripe Onions in July, at which time they will 
bring a higli price. For growing sets we recommend seed of the follow¬ 
ing varieties: Ebenezer, White Portugal and Earliest White Queen.

BURGESS SEED & PLANT CO. 
GALESBURG, MICHIGAN 
HARDY ONION PLANTS 
Earlier Onions—Highest Market Prices 
The use of onion plants is no longer an 
experiment. Onion plants are being used more 
extensively each year by both home gardeners 
and commercial growers. Onion plants can be 
set out as early in tlie 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 
matured onions about two weeks earlier than 
from sets and much earlier than from seed. 
Onions from plants seldom run to seed, which 
is another big advantage. We can supply 
plants from January 15 to June 15. Order 
today and state in your order about what date 
you want plants shijjped.
