The crop of Creole Onion s2ed having failed some years ago, I sold a good deal | 
of italian seed and hai ample opportunity to see the results. The Giant Roca I 
have discarded; it takes too long to bulb and is very spongy. The Bermuda and 
Red Tripoli have done fairly, but the Onions do not mature as early as the Creole, | 
and do not keep so well, although attaining a very large size, and more so the Ber- i 
muda. They are of mild flavor, and well adapted to be used up in spring; but I. 
would not recommend them to be raised for shipping, except the White Queen. 
NEW ITALIAN ONIONS. 
New Queen. This is a medium 
sized, white variety from Italy, very 
early and flat; can be sown as late as | 
February, and good sized bulbs will yet 
be obtained. It is of mild. flavor and | 
very fine when boiled and dressed for 
the table. It can not be too highly - 
recommended.
