Leonard's Yellow Globe. LEONARD'S YELLOW GLOBE ONION. This onion is our prize yellow market variety. It is the most uniform as to size, the most productive, the best keeping, and the handsomest yellow skinned Globe variety we have ever known. It has taken years of patient effort to bring it to its present perfection, and to keep up the standard of excellence requires ex- treme care in the selection of bulbs to set out for seeding, when the time for that event occurs each year. Oz., 10c.; H lb., 35c.; lb., $1.50; 10 lbs., J15.00. LEONARD'S RED GLOBE ONION. This is another of our onion specialties which merits especial prominence. The red varieties are the ones most popular in many of the large markets of the country, and growers, in order to realize the most from their labors, have to grow red, as well as yellow, in good sized quan- tities. Our strain of Large Red Globe is similar in size, shape, and uniform ex- cellence to our Leonard's Yellow Globe. We grow and select the bulbs of it for seeding with the same care, and have succeeded in securing a strain of Large Red Globe which is a worthy companion to our famous Yellow Globe. In color, our Red Globe has that deep, bright ap- pearance so much sought for in a red variety. Oz., 10c.; 14 lb., 45c.; lb., $1.50; 10 lbs.,$14.00.

A fine large red on- ion, of good quality; a fairly good keeper, H lb., 40c.; lb., $1.50. LEONARD'S WHITE GLOBE ONION. White onions, when successfully grown, are by all means the handsomest, and will usually bring more money per bushel than either of the other colors. It is harder to grow them to perfection than it is to grow yellow or red, because they will not stand adverse conditions of weather and other drawbacks so well. Many growers, however, have mastered the art of growing good crops of whites, and the better prices realized for them is quite an inducement for continued effort by those who have not been so suc- cessful. Good seed is one of the important essentials in growing this onion successfully, and in our strain of White Globe all will And seed that cannot be surpassed, 60c.; lb., $2.00; 10 lbs., $18.50.
