Eighty-five super-standard strains season of Eighty-five super-standard strains season of 1927 eightyfivesupers1927fran Year: 1927 Four pounds of seed will plant an acre Prizetaker Mountain Danvers Mountain Danvers An extremely early and very uniform type of Yellow Globe Danvers Days to maturity, 100. We take special pleasure in offering Mountain Danvers. This seed has been grown for us on the western slope of Colorado, at an elevation of 5,000 feet. 11 is the result of fourteen years' effort to produce a type of Onion which would mature in the comparatively short seasons of the high alti- tudes. The result is that a very valuable type has been developed for Onion-growers in all districts.

Taken year in and year out, it is a much surer crop type than the late-maturing sorts. The bulbs are a flat medium globe shape, absolutely uniform in color and type, and the necks are very thin.

Some growers have had the impression that Mountain Danvers was not quite as large as Yellow Globe Danvers, and under certain conditions that may be true. On the other hand, yields of 600 sacks per acre are not unusual. This stock is offered as a very superior product.
