Extra Early Pearl.

This remarkable new onion is the earliest 

 and best of all the white varieties. It grows to 

 enormous size and shape, as shown in our illus- 

 tration below ; of pearly white color, the outer 

 .skin having a most showy, waxy appearance,. 

 tlesh of a pure, snow wl»ite, 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 

 iiameter, frequently weighingthree to four pounds 

 aoh. A splendid keeper, succeeding every- 

 here, and requiring only thin soil. Our seed of 

 lis wonderful variety is Philadelphia-grown, 

 nd should not be confounded with a cheap, im- 

 orted variety ofi'ered by dealers as Silver White 

 ;tna, or Early Pearl, which is an entirely different 

 nion, although somewhat resembling the Ameri- 

 .anExtra Early Pearl in shape, beingflatter, not 

 as thick through, and it is vastlj' Inferior in size 

 and keeping qualities to the Genuine Ameri- 

 can Extra Early Pearl as grown and sold by us.
