EARLY YELLOW GLOBE HYBRID 
Double-Vigor Onion 
The amazing vigor of hy- 
bridization has been fixed 
into this new early onion, 
resulting in more uniform 
crops and a tremendous in- 
crease in yield. A wonder- 
ful addition to home gar- 
dening, since it will keep 
longer, be more productive, 
yield earlier and thrive un- 
der a wide range of cli- 
mates. If you were to plant 
just one onion, this should 
be it.

BRIGHAM YELLOW GLOBE 
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. 
CRYSTAL WHITE WAX 
The Best Pickler—(White Bermuda) 
This White Bermuda Onion is extra mild and 
sweet. The onions are medium-large, flat and 
pure white. Many car loads 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. 
EVERGREEN WHITE 
BUNCHING 
For "’Green'' Onions 
A very profitable home and market garden va- 
riety 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.
