_..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 varietics, it pro- 
duces full grown onions from seed the same season. In the 
South, seed sown in the fall will produce fine large «nions for 
market in early spring—Packets, 5c. and 10c. Ounce, 20c. 
+ Pound, 60c. 4 Pound, $1.15. Pound, $2.25.

Culture.— For sets, sow the seed as early as pos- 
sible in the spring, very thickly.in drills. As soon 
asthe 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 sie during the first season by sowing thinly 
in drills] foot apart, and about % inch deep, in 
March or early in Apri}, in strong land, well ma- _ 
nured, and thinning them out to stand gor 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. _ Se
