. Burpee's farm annual for 1900. Nursery stock Pennsylvania Philadelphia Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Bulbs (Plants) Catalogs. THE AUSTRALIAN BROWN ONION is of medium size, wonderfully Laid and solid, and most attractive for market, both as to form and appearance. They are extremely early in ripening, and never make any stiff-necks or scallions. Every seed seems to produce a good-sized onion, and the bulb begins to form very quickly,—when the plant is not over three inches high. Planted at the same time as Bed Wether sfield, it proved to be nearly four weeks earlier and ripened off more uniformly. From its firmness and hardness, it will keep in good condition longer than any other Onion known. The color of the skin is a clear amber-brown. So widely contrasted from any other Onion is this color that it will be noticed on market, and when once bought purchasers will most likely call again for "those beautiful brown ; Per pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; 2 ozs. 30 cts.; 14 ,b- 50 cts-5 per lb. $, Mrs. Eva G. Lamberson, Lander, Wyoming, Feb- ruary 27, 1899, writes:—Just one word about the keeping qualities of the Australian Brown Onion. I still have several specimens of the crop of 1897, and they are apparently as sound as ever. They have not been kept " in dry sand in a cool place" either, but just anywhere, and freezing solid didn't hurt them, either. Iam showing some of my friends here that " Burpee's Seeds Grow" and produce something worth while! Fred Abersold, St. Joe, Mo., writes:—Last spring one year ago we got % pound Australian Brown ( )nion. We planted the seed with our other kinds. We kept them until about April or May, after the other varieties are all gone. These onions grow a little larger than medium size. They are very hard and solid and the longest keepers we ever had. That is the reason we recommend the variety. This season we raised about 35 or 40 bushels from one pound
