22 YOUNG & HALSTEAD, CHOICE SELECTED SEEDS. ONIONS Continued. Improved Yellow Globe Danvers. A very fine globe shaped onion. This seed is not the same as the Selected stock. Onions are not all perfect globe shaped as the above sort. However, this strain is a great improvement over the common well known Yellow Globe Danvers, and gives perfect satisfaction. Pkt. ioc.;oz. 15c; ^4 lb. 40c; lb. $1. Yellow Dutch. A flat yellow onion, a good yielder, but not so desirable as other yellow sorts on account of its color and shape. Pkt. 10c.; oz. 15c; 3^ lb. 40c; lb. $1. Large Red Wethersfield. This medium early variety is the most profitable red onion for market gardeners' use. Some markets require a red onion. This seed is grown from fine large onions. If you use a red onion give our strain a trial. Pkc. 10c; oz. 15c; 34 lb. 40c; lb. $1.
