WRITE US FOR SPECIAL PRICES IN QUANTITY. 



WE ANNUALLY grow thou- 

 sands of bushels of the 

 Choicest Onion Sets, and our 

 demand the past year was so 

 great, that for the coming sea- 

 son we have more than doubled 

 our acreage. The enormous 

 increased demand which we 

 have had from year to year 

 has permitted us to greatly in- 

 crease our facilities for grow- 

 ing and handling re-cleaned 

 Onion Sets. This demand is 

 sufficientproof that our choice 

 re-cleaned OnionSets arepleas- 

 ing our customers and attract- 

 ing the attention of their 

 neighbors and other growers. 

 We grow and sell more choice 

 re-cleaned Onion Sets than any 

 other house in the Southern 

 States, and each year for five 

 consecutive years we have 

 doubled our acreage. We pre- 

 fer to sell by weight because 

 we have found by long exper- 

 ience that it is by far the most 

 satisfactory, and the customer 

 knows exactly what he buys. 

 Whereas if he buys by measure he will find every person has a different 

 idea of what a bushel really is. Therefore, to always have a satisfactory 

 understanding with our customer, we give a weighed bushel of 33 lbs. 





THIS superior stock of White Portugal Onion Seed, Northern 

 grown, is almost exclusively used for growing sets, which is 

 the strongest 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 inform 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. PKt. 5c,

 them quick sellers at profitable prices. Full sized Onions are some- 

 what flattened; mild flavor, excellent keepers and shippers. It is 

 very productive. PKt. 5c, Oz. lOe, 2 Ozs. 15c, 1/4 Lb. 25c.

Round Yellow Danvers. 



IS THE same shape as the White Silver Skin. Brownish-yellow 

 color; bulbs quite flat and of good size. This 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 continue 

 growing the entire Winter. PKt. 5c, Oz. 10c, 2 Ozs. I5c, 1/4 Lb. 25c,

 TRUE TENER1FFE BERMUDA 0N10N SEED. 



IMPROVED PALE RED BERMUDA ONION. 



THESE VARIETIES are not only the most popular, but the most 

 salable of all foreign varieties, and one that is grown more exten- 

 sively 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. It is oval in shape, of a pale red 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 sown in the Fall will produce fine large 

 Onions for market in early Spring. PKts. 5c and 10c, Oz. 15c, 

 1/4 Lb. 60c, 1/2 Lb. $1.00, Lb. $1.75. 



Improved White Bermuda Onion.— In shape and size similiar 

 to the red, differing only in color, and is a most desirable sort. 

 PKts. 5c and 10c, Oz. 20c, 1/4 Lb. 60, 1/2 Lb. $1.10, Lb. $2.00. 



CULTURE OF ONION SEED. 



USE ANY good soil; preferably a rich sandy loam, previously culti- 

 vated. Fertilize liberally with rotted manure, or with artificial 

 manures. Drill in seed to depth of % inch, at the rate of 1 or 5 pounds 

 to the acre for large Onions; 60 to 80 pounds per acre for Sets, or use 

 Sets at the rate of 8 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 often referred to as the "new onion 

 culture." Onions are quite hardy and may be planted early. The soil 

 may be used year after year, without 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.
