Ebenezer or Japanese 
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 other 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., 10c; oz., 40c; % 
lb., $1.20; lb., $4.00; 2 lbs., $7.20; 5 
lbs., $17.00; 10 lbs., $32.00, postpaid. 
Brisham*s Yellow Globe 
Brigham’s Yellow Globe is a strain of Southport Y T el- 
low Globe which is preferred by many growers on ac¬ 
count of its fine keeping qualities and larger yields. 
Onions are solid, true globe shape, and are grown from 
selected bulbs of the original strain. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
60c; % lb., $1.95; lb., $7.00; 2 lbs., $12.60; 5 lbs., 
$29.75; 10 lbs., $56.00, postpaid. 
Crystal Wax Bermuda 
The most attractive onion in the 
world. Absolutely pure white. Many 
ear loads of these flat white onions 
are grown annually in Texas and 
shipped North for early Spring use. 
Also does well in the North. One of 
the earliest Onions grown, and the 
earliest of the Bermuda type; very 
sweet and mild. Pkt., 10c; oz.. 40c; 
14 lb., $1.20; lb., $4.00; 2 lbs.,

IMPORTANT NOTICE '■& 
not make the mistake of buying on price only. There is consider¬ 
able old seed on the market, which may show a satisfactory germ¬ 
ination test under favorable conditions, but which lacks the neces¬ 
sary strength,and vitality to produce a good stand in the field. The 
seed we offer is fresh and strictly high grade. 
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., 10c; oz., 40c; 14 lb., 
$1.20; lb., $4.00; 2 lbs., $7.20; 5 lbs., $17.00, postpaid.

GARLIC 
One Pound Will Plant 150 Feet of Row 
Garlic bulbs are composed of several parts which should be 
divided and set out like onion sets, 4 inches apart in the row 
and one inch deep. When the tops turn yellow, lift the bulbs 
and dry in the shade. Garlic is used for flavoring soups, 
sausages, etc., and is claimed to be highly beneficial in cases 
of high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, nervousness, 
rheumatism, intestinal trouble, etc. Bulbs only. Lb., 40c; 
3 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., $2.70, postpaid.

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 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 
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 shipped.

These plants are grown in the open field in the South, where the soil and climatic condi¬ 
tions are just suited for growing tough, hardy cabbage plants during the winter and early spring. 
The plants make a slow but steady growth, until at 8 to 10 weeks of age they are very tough 
and hardy, the buds are purple and the outer leaves a reddish brown. When in this condition 
they can be shipped to territory farther north and be planted in the open ground a month or six 
weeks sooner than the home grown hot bed or cold frame plants. These Frost-Proof Cabbage 
Plants will stand a temperature of 20 degrees above zero. 
Frost-Proof Cabbage Plants should be planted at least 
a month earlier than you would plant home grown plants, 
and they will mature heads 2 to 3 weeks earlier. We 
can supply plants from January 15 to June 15. We offer 
the following varieties only: Early Jersey Wakefield, 
Lightning Express, Golden Acre, Copenhagen Market and 
Premium Late Flat Dutch.
