 for exhibition purposes while Southport WInte Globe is the most 

 beautiful, commanding highest market prices. 



White Portugal, or Silver Skin. The bulbs are flat in shape 

 and mature within 75 days after seeds were sown, making it a 

 very desirable variety for growing in sections where the season is 

 short. It is a splendid variety for both family use and the market 

 gardener, and is very largely used for growing sets on account of 

 its fine shape when small, and also for its good keeping qualities. 

 This variety is grown extensively for use in the green state as a 

 bunching Onion besides being well adapted for pickling. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; I oz., 20 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; i lb., 85 cts.; lb., $3.00. 



Philadelphia Yellow Dutch Onion 



Southport White Globe. The earliest of the Southport Globes, 

 perfecting a very handsome product within 90 days from sowing 

 seeds. The bulbs are pure white and of a very mild flavor, also 

 equally as good for keeping as the Yellow Globe. The flesh is 

 remarkably firm and solid. It is an enormous yielder, and as it is 

 very attractive, always sells at high prices. Pkt., 10 cts.; \ oz., 

 20 cts.; oz.,30cts.; Jib., 85 cts.; lb., $3.00. 



Mammoth Silver King. This is the largest of the foreign 

 varieties, specimens having been grown to weigh as heavy as 

 three pounds. It produces large sized bulbs within 120 days 

 from time the seeds were planted. It is flat in shape and both 

 skin and flesh are pure white, mild and well flavored. Not a 

 good keeper. Pkt., 10 cts.; \ oz., 25 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; \ lb., 85 

 cts.; lb., $3.00. 



White Queen, or Barletta. This is the earliest variety of 

 Onion, generally ready for gathering within 45 days after sowing 

 seeds. Very mild, pure white, both skin and flesh. When fully 

 developed, bulbs usually average about I5 inches in diameter, 

 and are of slightly flattened shape, chiefly grown for pickling. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; I oz., 20 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; Jib., 85 cts.; lb., $3.00. 



The Red Sorts 



Comparatively speaking, the latest to mature, the 

 strongest in flavor, but also the best keepers. 



Large Red Wethersfleld. A standard variety in 

 many localities, especially in the West. 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 different seasons. Onions are large, flat in 

 shape, with skin of a purplish-red color and flesh of 

 a purplish-white color. Resists drought better than 

 most onions. Pkt., 10 cts.; 5 oz., 15 cts.; oz., 25 

 cts.; \ lb., 75 cts.; lb., $2.00.

 and symmetrical form of this Onion make it very 

 attractive. Bulbs reach full size within 110 days, 

 keep well and are of superior quality. This variety is 

 particularly popular in sections having heavy alluvial 

 soils. Pkt., 10 cts.; § oz., 15 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; Jib.,
