THE UNIQUE ONION.

To the earnest cultivator of individ-

ton of the onion. The onion has more
individuality than anything else in the
world. Indeed. 1t has sacrificed every
thing to this single quality-home-
life, friends and reputation. An onion
is just fibre and water and individual-
ity. II offers nothing as sustennnce or
an object OF beauty, yet it's biting,
pungcnt and lingering personality has
given it II just claim upon the respect
and vcncration OF the world. 1t is n
striking example of the victory OF
quality over quantity. With the eX-
ception of salt, men would miss the
onion more from their tables than any
other article Of dict. And yet there
are wcak-knccd souls who affect to
dcspise this fragrant tubcr
Kill the onion and YOU leave gap
