Onions usually net the grow- 
er more money per acre than 
any other vegetable crop. If : ay 
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.

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 ripen- 
ing in July will keep sound and hard through the fall and all winter.
