Disease-Treated Onion Seed 
Onions usually net the grow- : - 
er more money per acre than Seas 
any other vegetable crop. If 
you are going to raise a crop 
that requires the labor and. 
capital that Onions do, don’t 
waste your time cultivating 
anything but the best. The 
difference in price, if any, be- 
tween a good strain of care- 
fully grown seed and a poor 
strain, carelessly grown, is so 
small that you can only afford 
to plant the very best. There 
are many inferior strains of 
Onion seed being offered to - 
the public at low prices which 
will produce Onions of all 
sorts and sizes instead of the 
uniform, marketable crop ob- 
tained by planting a carefully 
selected strain of seed. Each 
year a large and steadily in- 
creasing number of market 
gardeners buy our pure bred, 
disease-treated Onion seed, be- 
cause they realize that none 
is superior, 
One ounce of seed for {50
