TRUE AMERICAN EXTRA EARLY PEARL ONION. 



The largest and best of all the white varieties, witli possibly the exception of our New White Prize-Winner, introduced 

 lastopriiig. It grows to enormous size and shape, as sliown in our illustration above; of pearly white color, the outer 

 skin having a very showy, ^vaxy 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 tlie first season, from seed, the enormous size of six to seven 

 inches diameter, frequently weighing three to four pou:ids each. A splendid keeper, succeeding everywhere, and requir- 

 ing only thin soil. Our seed of this wonderful variety is Philadelphia groTvn, and should not be confounded with a cheap 

 imported variety offered by some dealers as Silver White JStna, or Early Pearl, which is an entirely different onion, although 

 somewhat resembling the American Extra Early Fearl in shape, being flatter, not as thick through, and it is vastly 

 inferior in size and keeping qualities to the Genuine American Extra Early Pearl as grown and sold by us. PUt., 

 15c.; oz.,50c.; 34 lb., SI. 35; lb., $5.00. 



MAMMOTH VICTORIA ONIONS— RED AND WHITE GLOBE. 



ANEW race of onions introduced a few years since from Sardinia, 

 where they are largely grown. Tliey have attained enormous 

 sizes and weights, of two to four pounds each, grown In the 

 United States. Tliey are of handsome globe shape, as shown in the 

 illustration, and are worthy of a trial by all gardeners who are 

 interested in the growing of foreign onions for either market or ex- 

 hibition purposes. As the imported seed of these varieties germinates 

 poorly, we offer choice American grown seed from selected bulbs. 



RED VICTORIA ONION. The skin is deep blood red, flesh 

 white and of sweet, mild tlavor. Pkt., lOc; oz.,20c.; J4lb.,60c.; lb., $2.25. 



WHITE VICTORIA ONION. Skin and flesh pure white, of 

 sweet, mild flavor and a verv handsome, showy onion. Pkt., lOc; oz., 

 30c.; 14 lb., 85c.; lb., 83.00. 



THK MADRID GIANT ONION. This new variety, first intro- 

 duced into America five years ago, is the largest and most popular 

 onion grown around Madrid, the Spanish capital. It possesses the 

 large size, mild flavor, excellent keeping, and all other good 

 qualities of the celebrated Prize-taker, but differs from that variety in 

 its handsome, red skin, which, in contrast with its pure white, fine 

 grained flesh, attracts marked attention in market. Madrid Giant 

 grows quicker and can be grown at least one-third larger than any 

 other red onion. The seed we offer this season is American grown, 

 which will germinate better than the imported Spanish seed. Pkt., lOc; 

 oz.,30c.; }4 lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50. 



TRUE BERMUDA ONION SEED. 



Our sales of this valuable early variety, the true stock of which is 

 often difticult to obtain, have been increasing rapidly each year. We 

 import it in very large quantities, and are consequently enabled to make 

 our prices extremely low.
