214. This superior stock of White Portugal Onion Seed, Northern 

 grown, is almost exclusively used for growing sets, which is the strong- 

 est proof that it is the best from which to grow the large white Onions. 

 This most delicious Onion has greater popularity today than ever. Its 

 delicate, mild flavor, its stately form and large, handsome size, its pure 

 white color, makes it a most desirable variety for the table, the most 

 profitable for market and shipping. Plants are of an extremely thin 

 neck type, and sure to ripen early. Bulbs are perfect in form and quite 

 thick through. They are fine-grained, crisp and mild. Bulbs should be 

 harvested as soon as ripened and dried in the shade to preserve their 

 silvery white skin, the attractiveness of which makes them command 

 the highest market prices, and removes the necessity for peeling them.

 at profitable prices. Full sized Onions are somewhat flattened; mild 

 flavor, excellent keepers and shippers. It is very productive. PKt. 5c.

 variety is largely grown for sets, thousands of bushels of which are 

 annually shipped from this market to different parts of the United 

 States. They are hardier than the white, and keep better through the 

 Winter. In the Southern States they can be planted in Autumn and will

217. Improved White Bermuda Onion.— This variety is not only 

 the most popular, but the most salable of all foreign varieties, and one 

 that is grown more extensively in the South than any other sort. The 

 Improved is a selection of the old Red Bermuda, but possesses much finer 

 qualities and is far more productive. R is oval in shape, of a white color, 

 quite early, very solid, does not skin in transportation, and keeps better 

 than any other foreign variety. It is also of a mild and delicate flavor. 

 Like the Italian varieties it produces full-grown Onions from seed the 

 same season. In the South seed 218. Improved Red Bermuda

CULTURE OF ONION SEED.-l Oz. to 100 ft. of Drill. 6 Lbs. to the Acre.— 



Use any good soil: preferably a rich sandy loam, previously cultivated. Fertilize 

 liberally with rotted manure or with artificial manures. Drill in seed to depth of 

 14 inch, at the rate of 4 or 5 pounds to the acre for large Onions; 60 to 80 pounds per 

 acre for Sets, or use Sets at the rate of 6 to 10 bushels to the acre, or start Onion Seed 

 in frames, under glass, and transplant to open ground 3 inches apart in the row. 

 This excellent plant is of ten referred to as the "new Onion culture." Onions are 

 quite hardy and may be planted early. The soil may be used year after year, with- 

 out rotation of crops, if well fertilized annually. Winter storage demands dryness, 

 coolness, good ventilation and freedom from sudden changes. Spread 18 inches of 

 straw on barn or garret floor, then 6 to 10 inches of Onions, then 2 feet of straw; 

 or keep on shelves in a dry, cool cellar. Set large Onions in open ground in 

 September. Protect with litter during Winter. 



Our rapid shipping facilities enable us to snip all orders within twelve hours.

We annually grow thousands of bushels of the Choicest Onion Sets, and the 



demand the past year was so great 

 that for the coming season we 

 have more than doubled our acre- 

 age. The enormous increased 

 demand which we have had from 

 year to year has permitted us to 

 greatly increase our facilities for 

 growing and handling Re- 

 cleaned Onion Sets. This demand 

 is sufficient proof that our choice 

 re-cleaned Onion Sets are pleasing 

 our customers and attracting the 

 attention of their neighbors and 

 other growers. We grow and sell 

 more choice re-cleaned Onion Sets 

 than any other house in the South- 

 ern States and each year for five 

 consecutive years we have doubled 

 our acreage. We prefer to sell by 

 weight because we have found by 

 long experience that it is by far 

 the most satisfactory, and the cus- 

 tomer knows just exactly what he 

 buys. Whereas if he buys by 

 measure he will find every person 

 has a different idea of what a bush- 

 el really is. Therefore, to always 

 have a satisfactory understanding 

 with our customer, we give a 

 weighed bushel of 32 lbs.
