Y., August 11, 1894. Messrs. J. M. Thorburn & Co. : Gentlemen—I want to tell vou the results I have had with half an ounce of seed of your Yellow Globe Danvers Onions. Last fall I dug up an old strawberry plot, 6 x 18 feet—put on about a wheelbarrow load of chicken manure, through the winter, dug this in the spring (March). I'have now taken up over two bushels of onions, same size as the sample I send herewith. Now, this mav not be an extraordinary result' for a market gardener, but for me it certainly is. Have grown onions for twenty years, but never had such a vield. and must therefore attribute it to the seed, which seems to me best suited of any to this iocalitv. Yours trulv, (Signed) F. W. Green.
