The following varieties we have imported from the most 

 ■ reliable growers of Italy. They have all oeeu tested and have 

 proven a perfect success in every soolidn of tnis country, 

 and are alreadj' largely grown for market, being milder in 

 flavor than American varieties, and well adapted for enrly 

 market and home garden use. Tliey are of wonderful quick 

 growth, forming fine large onions in an ineredilily short 

 time from sowing. They can beset out the second season, 

 and instead of running to seed, as the American varieties do, 

 they continue to grow until they reach a great size, often 

 weighing three to four pounds each.

 being earlier, make sets of better quality for keeping or im- 

 mediate use than that grown in any other section. Phila^ 

 delphia^grown onion sets are everywhere recognized as the 

 best and are annually supplied to dealers and gardeners in 

 every market of the United States. As the price varies,
