ONION. 



Ognon (Fr.), Zwiebei. (Ger.), CeboIvTvA (Sp.), CiPOr.ivA (Ital. ) 



The following cut represents'a well-grown Onion raised from Louisiana or Creole 

 seed. The Onion is one of the most important vegetables planted in this section. Thou- 

 sands of barrels are annually shipped from here to the West and North. If sown at the 

 proper time, with ordinary cultivation, they will always produce a crop and meet with 

 ready sale. The seed is not a sure crop every year and some years it sells very high; the 

 past season we had a fair crop of good heavy seed. Up to a few years ago no other variety 

 of Onion was known, which would form good bulbs like the Creole; all the Italian kinds 

 'were tried before withv.»ut success, but having no Louisiana seed at all the True Red 

 Bermuda seed, which is raised at Teneriffe and the coast of Africa, was imported and 

 gave good satisfaction. It is a flat shaped Onion, a little lighter in color than the Creole, 

 earlier, and does not shoot up like that kind; comes into the market just after the ship- 



Our Creole Onion Seed is grotvn from the most JPerfect Bulbs 

 selected tinder our personal supervision.
