Extra Selected Yellow Globe Dan vers. The finest shaped, best colored and largest cropper of any o»f the yellow onions, and not to be compared with the ordinary stocks of Yellow Globe Danvers. We grow this strain from carefully selected bulbs, everything being rejected that does not come up to the standard in shape and size. By this careful system of selection we have produced an onion entirely distinct from the old type of Yellow Globe Danvers. Its points of superiority over the ordi- nary Yellow Danvers are earliness of ripening, smallness of neck, perfect globe shape and uni- formity of shape and color. It is an immense crop- per and will yield more marketable onions to the acre than any strain we have ever tried. Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, lAm. 65c, lb. $2.00. By express 5 lbs. or more $1.75 per lb. Yellow Globe Danvers. An early variety, good keep- er and excellent market sort. Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, ^lb. 50c, lb. $1.60. By express, 5 lbs. or over $1.40 per lb. White Silverskin, for Pickling.

ITALIAN ONIONS. The Italian Onions are very popular, owing to their quick growth, large size and mild flavor, many sorts making or ons weighing two to four pounds from seeds the hrst year.
