AMP OWED 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 transvorta- 
tion, and keeps better than any other foreign variety. It is also 
of a mild and delicate flavor. Like the Italian varietics, it pro- 
duces full grown onions from seed the same season. In the 
South, seed sown in the fall ‘vill produce fine large « nions for 
market in early spring—Packets, 5c. and 10c. Ounce, 20c.

Culture.— For sets, sow the seed as early as pos- 
sible in the spring. very thiekly.in drills. As soon 
as the tops die off in Summer. remove them to a 
dry, airy place, and early in the tollowing 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 process are of alurge 
size early in the season. They. may also be grown 
to full sive diiring the firstseason by sowing thin y 
in drills] foot apart, and about #% inch deep, in 
March: r early in April, in strong land, well ma- 
nured, and thinning them out to stand 8or 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 
transp!anting in April, onions of immense size 
can b+ obtained. For this purpose Red and White 
Bermuda and Prize-Taker succeed best.
