NEW WHITE M:rLTIPI.IEK ONION SETS. These 

 are of a pure silvery white color, enormously productive, 

 frequently producing as many as twenty bulbs in a single 

 cluster from a single bulb planted, of excellent quality and 

 size for bunching green or can be ripened for use as pickling 

 onions, and for this latter purpose can be grown much more 

 economically than from seed. Their keeping qualities 

 are remarkable, having kept perfectly sound for a year, 

 but their most important quality is extreme earliness, 

 lieing ready for market from three to four Greeks ahead
