True American Extra Early Pearl Onion* 



The earliest of all the white varieties, growing to enormous size and shape, as shown in photograph 

 above ; of pearly ■white color, the outer skin having a very showy, waxy appearance, flesh of a pure 

 snow -white, and flavor so mild that it can be eaten like an apple. It grows with wonderful rapidity, 

 reaching, the first season from seed, the enormous size of six to seven inches in diameter, frequently 

 weighing three to four pounds each. A splendid keeper, succeeding everywhere, and requiring only 

 thin soil. Our seed of this wonderful variety is Philadelphia grown, and should not be confounded 

 with a cheap imported variety offered by some dealers under the same name. Pkt., loc. ; oz., 25c.;
