ONION SETS 



Philadelphia has long been esteemed in all sections of the country as 

 headquarters for Onion Sets. In my estimation the best way to grow onions 

 is from the black seed, but still, a great many people prefer to plant sets, 

 which I will be pleased to furnish at the following prices : 



WHITE BOTTOM Grown from my best selected seed of the 



White Silver Skin or Portugal variety, which will produce White Onions 

 very early in the season. Pt.,20cts.; qt.,35cts.; 5qts.,$1.50, by mail, postpaid. 



'YELLOW BOTTOMS (See illustration of a tumblerful of sets taken 



from a photograph.) Pt., 20 cts.; qt., 35 cts.; 5qts., $1.50, by mail, postpaid. 



Above two varieties are produced from seed. Potato, Egyptian and Mul- 

 tiplier Onions do not produce seed, and can be obtained from bulbs only. 



EGYPTIAN OR PERENNIAL TREE.— When once set out, 

 without having the slightest Winter protection, will come up year after year, 

 as soon as frost breaks the ground, and grow very rapidly. The bottoms 

 divide, making several irregular shaped onions. The young sets grow 

 on top of the stalks. Pt., 30c: qt., 55c; 5 qts., $2.50, by mail, postpaid. 



POTATO ONIONS.— Small bulbs when planted increase in size, 

 and the parent bulbs produce quantities of small bulbs in clusters. They 

 mature early and are of a mild, pleasant flavor. Pt., 30 cts.; qt., 55 cts. 



NEW WHITE MULTIPLIER ONION.— Is enormously pro- 

 ductive ; of pure white silvery color, very hardy and will unquestionably 

 prove a great acquisition to this class of onions, for its handsome 

 ' appearance will make it one of the most salable varieties that can be 

 "■> grown ; it is also very useful for pickling. White onions being usually 

 r.f higher priced than any other color, the advantage of a White Multiplying 

 Onion can be readily understood. Pint, 35 cents : quart, 60 cents
