Early Yellow Globe 
Early Yellow Globe is the earliest yellow globe onion. 
As to maturity, it can be put on the market fully two weeks earlier than Danvers or Southport 
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. 
Disénse< Treated Onion Seed 
Onions Contain a Fair Amount of Vitamin B,, Some Vitamin C, Calcium and Iron 
One ounce for 200 feet of 
row; 4 to 6 Ibs. per acre. 
Onions usually net the grow- 
er more money per acre than 
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.

Strain 
This fine strain is superior to the old strains of Southport and is 
preferred by most growers. Brigham Strain of Southport has better 
keeping qualities and larger yields. Our seed is grown from large, 
yellow, globe-shaped bulbs and is extra fine and is a week earlier 
than standard Southport Yellow Globe.

Sweet Spanish Onion 
Michigan State College 
Sweet Spanish 
A long keeping strain of Yellow Sweet Spanish de- 
veloped at Michigan State College. Growers wanting a 
sweet onion for long keeping in storage should plant 
this strain, as the onions will keep late into the Spring 
in perfect condition. The outer skin is tight and holds 
to the flesh, making very attractive onions after they ° 
have been held in storage for 6 months, 
Yellow Sweet Spanish 
The Largest and Sweetest Onion 
UTAH STRAIN—This globe-shaped Onion is the larg- 
est and sweetest variety grown. The fiesh is pure 
white, of very fine grain, crisp, juicy, and so mild and 
sweet that it is unsurpassed for eating raw. The skin 
is light yellow. Although of gigantic size, it has a 
small top, is a fair keeper, and, if allowed to thor- 
oughly dry, will stand shipping. Utah Sweet Spanish 
is more resistant to thrips and mildew blight than most 
varieties.

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 sin- 
gle seed in the first season. 
By drawing the soil up around 
the plants these tender shoots 
can be blanched. Winters 
over well and provides a 
heavy crop for early spring if 
planted in midsummer.
