IMPROVED WHITE BERMUDA ONION. 
These varieties are not only the most popular, but the most 
salable of all foreign varieties, and one that is grown more ex- 
tensively in the South than any other sort. The Improved is a 
selection of the old Red Bermuda, but possesses much finer qual]- 
ities, and is far more productive. It is oval in shape, of a pure 
white color, quite early, very solid, does not skin in transporta- 
tion, and keeps better than any other foreign variety. It is also 
of a mild and delicate flavor. Like the Italian varieties, itepro- 
duces full grown onions from seed the same season. In the 
South, seed sown in the fall will produce fine large onions for 
market in early spring—Packets, 5c. and 10c. Ounce, 20c.

This famous onion retains its gréat popu- 
larity. Its delicate and mild flavor, its 
shapely form and size, and its pure white 
color makes it a most desirable variety for 
the table, for the market and for sipping. 
Onion sets are extensively grown from this 
sort, and from these sets full grown onions 
are grown as early as June and July. The 
onion sets and large onions are used for 
pickling purposes because of their clean, 
white silver color—Packet, 5c. Ounce, 15c. 
+ Pound, 50c. Pound, $1.75. 
Danvers Fine Yellow.—Is the same 
shape as the White Silver Skin Color, 
brownish yellow; bulbs quite flat and of 
good size. This is the variety grown for 
sets, thousands of bushels of which are an- 
nually shipped from this market to different 
parts of the United States. They are more 
hardier than the whites, and keep better 
through the winter. Inthe Southern States 
they can be planted in autumn and will 
continue growing the entire winter.

Culture.—For sets, sow the seed as early as pos- 
sible in the spring, very thickly, in drills. As soon 
as the tops die off in Summer, remove them to a 
dry, airy place, and early in the following spring 
replant by placing the sets in shallow drills 12 
inches apart, and about 4 inches apart in the drills; 
the onions obtained by this processare of alarge 
size early in the season. They may also be grown 
to full size during the first season by sowing thinly 
in drills1 foot apart, and about ¥ inch deep, in 
March or early in April, in strong land, well ma- 
nured, and thinning them out to stand 3or 4inches 
apart in the drills. They delight in a strong, rich, 
deep, loamy soil, and succeed well if grown suc- 
cessive years on the same ground. By sowing 
onion seed in frames in February or March and 
transplanting in April, onions of immense size 
can be obtained. For this purpose Red and White 
Bermuda and Prize-Taker succeed best.
