ONION SETS.

 somest Onion we have ever grown, eclipsing in size and appearance 

 the most wonderful of the Spanish and Italian varieties, many of the 

 bulbs weighing from 3 to 3% lbs. each. The skin is a rich golden 

 color, while the flesh is white, and so mild and sweet that it may be 

 eaten raw like an apple. This variety takes a leading place among 

 the many valuable sorts in general use, and we have no doubt will 

 at all times command ready sales. For many .years this Onion has
