AUSTRALIAN BROWN ONION. 



458 Ohio Yellow Globe 



Until Tery recently this onion has only been known to a limited 

 extent in parts of the State of Ohio, wliere it has long been considered 

 one of the best of Globe onions. It is ot handsome, bright, even yellow 

 color, with small neck. Ripens early and all at once; the firm, solid 

 bulbs are excellent winter keepers. It is reported that 800 bushels ot 

 Ohio Yellow Globe onions have been grown on a 



single acre of good laud. It is especially reconi- /otHIVIWIOTH 

 meuded for heavy muck land on account of its "»*^'»»«'»-*' i * » 

 early maturing qualities. My supjily of this va- ^tlX/FK?

456 



Silver Skin or White Portugal 



A mild and pleasant onion, of somewhat flattened shape. It is very 

 popular for family use and one of the best for pickling, also for slicing 

 or boiling. A favorite with many when young as a salad or bunchint; 

 onion; excellent for winter. This variety is largely grown for sets, and 

 is regarded as a standard sort on account of it being hard and firm. 



Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 20 cts.; % pouud, 60 ctSi; pound, Sl.^'5. 



457 Australian Brown 



This onion has claimed a place in America within recent years, and 

 seems abundantly able to maintain it. It is of medium size, very early, 

 rather flatteued in shape, of brown color, and wonderfully hard and 

 solid. Its leading and most valuable feature, aside from appearance 

 and quality, is its long keeping ability. It will keep for a year or more. 



Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 15 cts., \i pound, 40 cts.; pound, S1.35. 



435 Giant Gibraltar 



It is a beautiful globe-shaped variety with a thin skin of light straw 

 color. The flesh is white, mild and sweet, and the onion makes a large 

 and quick growth from spring-so wu seeds. The great Prizetaker On- 

 ion, though having foreign blood in its veins, is now distinctly Ameri- 

 can. Giant Gibraltar, on the other hand, is distinctly foreign. The 

 former has a place of its own, in which it is perfectly secure. ~'The lat- 

 ter has yet to establish its reputation, but I am sure it will do so. 



Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 30 cts.; 14 pound, 85 cts.; pound, $3.00. 



461 Mammoth Silver King 



I introduced this grand onion to the public over 28 years ago. The 

 skin is a beautiful, silvery white. The flesh is so sweet that it may be 

 eaten raw like an apple. No other white onion attains such mammoth 

 size. The bulbs are of an attractive shape, flattened, but thick, as 

 shown in the illustration. The average diameter of fully grown Mam- 

 moth Silver King onions is from 5 to 1)4, inches. I have a record of one 

 of these onions weighing 4 pounds and 9 ounces. 



Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 20 cts.; '^ pound, 60 cts.; pound, $2.25.
