ellSw One of the most wholesome foods known, and much rel- ished by most people. Most physicians agree that the free use of Onions as a food is a healthful and benefical stimu- lant to the system. Success or failure depends upon the quality of the seed sown. The best Onion seed is always the cheapest. We are nertain that ours is as good as can be found anywhere. Have the ground made very fine, deep and rich for Onions, and keep free from weeds. I,arge Red Wethersfield—A favorite red-skinned sort, of large size and handsome appearance. Onions somewhat flattened, flesh purplish-white, high-flavored, and keeps well without rotting. A standard sort and a great favor- ite with market gardeners. Pkt., 5c,; oz., 15c; lb., $1.80. Yellow Globe Danvers-Another popular Onion widely grown for marker. Plump, handsome, yellow skinned bulbs, very uniform, round and perfect. We have an extra fine strain of this. It does well everywhere, and in all soils and climates, and is everywhere a popular market sort. Pkt., 5c; oz.. 15c.; lb., Si.so. Extra Early Red—A quick-growing variety much liked in the North, as it trrows well in cold, mucky soils, where other sorts fail. Pkt, 5c.: oz-, 15c.: lb., $2.00. Southport White Globe—A globular, mild-flavored Onion of tine appearance and superior quality. The most popular White Globe variety. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; lb., $2-60. Australian Brown-A medium sized, smooth, handsome Onion, with a beautiful brown skin. Hard, solid, crisp, finely flavored and a good keener. In fact one of the very best Onions grown. Season Very early: Pkt-, 5c; oz., 15c; lb., $1.60. Wiqter op ^ree Qmon. In this we have an Onion different from those raised from seeds or sets, or from the Top Onions,Potato Onion, in the fact that when once set out, without the slightest pro- tection, it will come up year after year as soon as the frost, breaks the ground, and grow so rapidly that it is ready for market or home use two or three weeks before any of them. It is usually ready for the table early in May. It is unsur- passed forsweetne38 and tenderness. It is perfectly hardy in all sections of the North- Differs widely from all other forms of Onion-, and should have a place in every garden. Pint, 15c ; quart, 25c. Postpaid. By express, not prepaid, peck, 75c; bushel, $2.50-
