NORTHRUP, KING (SL CO.'S ^GRAND NEW GLOBE ONIONS. "CROM 4 pounds of your 1 Minnesota Red Globe (Globe Wethersfield) Onion seed I raised 726 bu. of splen- did onions. Not a scullion among- them. They ripened early and were large in size. I have been an onion-grower for 13 years, have bought from manyhouses, but I never had any onions equal to the Minn esota Red Globe." A. T. Moot, Minne- apolis. "FROM iy2poundsoi your T Minnesota Red Globe Onion seed I raised 300 bu. of the handsomest onions I ever saw. There were not to exceed one-half bushel of poor onions among them. I showed them at the Anoka Street Fair and took first prize." C. E. LaPlant, Dayton, Minn.

y N., K. (Kb CO.'S Minnesota White Globe. This is much earlier than the Southport White Globe and keeps much better. White Onions are always the mildest in flavor, and on this account and their color, are generally preferred for fam- ily use. White Onions, as a rule, are not good keep- ers, but our Minnesota White Globe is an exception to the rule. We know of ncm other stock of White Globe onion which compares with this in purity of color, regularity and beauty of shape and long keeping proclivity. Large pkt., 10c; oz. 35c: 141b., $1.00; lb., $3.00, postpaid. fcf^ N., K. (2b CO.'S Minnesota Red Globe. Heretofore called Globe Wethersfield. This we consider to be the finest and most select type of Red Globe Onion in existence. We have called it N., K. & Co.'s Minnesota Red Globe in order to distinguish it from all other stocks of Red Globe Onion, from which it differs not only in purity of stock and perfection of shape, but in earliness, pro- ductiveness and beauty of color. The outer skin possesses that lustre and richness of color so de- sirable and vet so often lacking in Red Globe stock. Large pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; ^ilb., 60c; lb., $2.25. Globe=shaped Onions are the onions of the future. They are the most attractive in appearance and most economical in use. They command the highest price in market. They are more profit= able than flat varieties to grow, as they occupy no more room in a row, but weigh more and measure better. Recognizing, 6 years ago the tendency of the trade, we took up Globe shaped onions as a special study. We found two types of Yellow Globe, viz: Yellow Globe Danvers and Southport Yellow Globe. We found four Red Globe onions, viz: Extra Early Red Globe, which, not being a good keeper, is fit only for early bunching; Early Red Globe, which is quite early, but under- sized; Large Red Globe, which is of fair shape but not early. Southport Red Globe, late and of undesirable shape. In White Globe Onions we found but one, the Southport, late and undesir- able in shape. In short, we found no Red or White Globe Onion compared with the favorite Yellow Globe Danvers in shape, in size and in comparative earliness. In our Minnesota Red Globe (Globe Wethersfield) and Minnesota White Globe Onions we have strains which are as early and as per- fectly Globe shaped as the best strains of Yellow Globe Danvers. They are far superior to the South- port Red and White Globe, as they ripen off much earlier, are much better keepers, and do not have the wasteful feature characteristic of the Southport—the long, useless and detrimental neck and bottom. Every Pound WKite Globe of Oxxr Minnesota Red Globe and Minnesota is of Ou.r Own Growth in the State of Minnesota. NortHrup, King (EL Co., Minneapolis, Minn, 47
