ONION SEED— Continued 



The Red Sorts 



Comparatively speaking, the latest to mature, the strongest in 



flavor, but also the best keepers. 



580 Large Red Wethersfield. A standard variety in many 

 localities, especially in the Middle West and the South. Does 

 very well in all sections. It grows to full size within 100 days 

 from seed and is very dependable on many soils and in differ- 

 ent seasons and is the variety principally grown for Red Sets. 

 Onions are large, flat in shape, with skin of a purplish-red 

 color and flesh of a pink shade. Resists drought better than 

 most onions. Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 20 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; J lb., 

 85 cts.; lb., S3.00. 



582 Southport Red Globe. The deep red color of skin and 

 symmetrical form of this Onion make it very attractive, and 

 suitable for exhibition. Bulbs reach full size within 110 

 days, keep well and are of superior quality, very firm and of 

 strong flavor. This variety is particularly popular in sections 

 having heavy alluvial soils. Pkt., 10 cts.; ^ oz., 25 cts.;
