ONIONS. We make a specially of onion seed, and handle it extensively. We jrrow a large portion of our seeds ourselves and have them grown by experienced growers under our supervision. We are the largest grow- ers of onion-sets in the west, and all onion seed unsold at end of season is sown for sets, thus enabling us to offer customers nothing but fresh need every year. Our seed is grown from choice selected bulbs and can be relied on. Will make special prices to gardeners or others using large quantities of seed. BROWN AUSTRALIAN. See novelties.

The bulbs are small, flat, beautifully white, and of excellent flavor, but the prin- cipal recommendation is the marvelous rapidity of its growth.
