Sorts

but do not keep so well.

largest of the foreign varieties, speci- 
mens having been grown to weigh as

584 Southport White Globe. On ac- 
count of its uniform globe shape this 
variety is highly prized, particularly 
for the home garden, where quality 
as well as appearance are desired. The 
bulbs are pure white and of very mild 
flavor, also equally as good for keeping 
as the Yellow Globe. It is good for use 
as a medium crop, but most valuable 
when grown for the main crop, as the 
flesh is remarkably firm and solid. It 
is an enormous yielder, and as it is very 
attractive, always sells at high prices. 
It is best to dry these onions in a shady 
place, and give them plenty of air.

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

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.; 4 0z., 25 cts.; oz., 35 cts.;

Choice Onion Sets 
For the small garden, we recommend the use of Onion Sets and 
the slight difference in cost, is justified by results. The risk of 
failure is almost eliminated and the crop is ready much earlier. 
Onion Sets should be planted in rows 12 inches apart, with sets 
2 inches apart in the rows and receive regular cultivation. 1 quart 
will plant a 50 foot row.
