FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. i 55 
The crop of Creole Onion seed having failed some years ago, I sold a good deal 
of Italian seed and had 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- 
muda. They are of mild flavor, and well adapted to be used up in spring; but 1 
would not recommend them to be raised for shipping, except the White Queen.
