RED AIND WHITE ONIONS 



Southport White Globe Onions 



654 Southport White Globe 



Southport White Globe produces large, globular bulbs from 

 seed the first year and is one of the standard varieties used. The 

 bulb is crystal-white, very finely shaped and has a firm, fine- 

 grained flesh. It is quite mild in flavor and is more attractive 

 than most varieties for table use. The globe is flattened at the 

 shoulder and slightly rounded at the base. It is one of the better 

 shippers and will keep longer than the Bermuda Onions. Pkt. 

 10 cts., oz. 50 cts., V 4 lb. $1.75, lb. $6. 



656 White Silverskin, or Portugal 



This variety is larger and more flattened in shape than the 

 Southport. It produces a bulb of medium size, mild flavor, and 

 with an especially clear white skin. It is quite popular among 

 growers of Onion sets, as it produces a very nice-sized, uniformly 

 shaped set. To preserve the pure white effect, care must be taken 

 not to expose the bulbs to the sun, and they should be covered 

 with soil. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 50 cts., V 4 lb. $1.75, lb. $6. 



ALL ONION SEED IS SHORT THIS YEAR. WE WOULD 

 ADVISE CAREFUL AND PROMPT PURCHASE 



675 Southport Red Globe 



This variety is a big favorite with planters who have a good 

 market for the red varieties. It produces globe-shaped bulbs, 

 medium to large in size, having a smooth, glossy skin, with a 

 small neck. The flesh is white, tinged with purple. Seed sown 

 in the spring produces very nice bulbs the first season. The ship- 

 ping qualities of this variety rank first in the entire list, and where 

 bulbs are to be stored it is a favorite tvpe. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 

 45 cts., V 4 lb. $1.40, lb. $5. 



680 Large Red Wethersfield 



The bulb of this well-known variety is very smooth and clear- 

 skinned. It is spherical in shape and mostly flattened at the 

 ends, being very similar in this respect to Yellow Globe Danvers. 

 It has an exceedingly fine neck, with long, slender, clear green- 

 colored tops. It is an early to midseason variety with excellent 

 keeping qualities. The flavor of this variety is stronger than any 

 of the others. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 35 cts., y 4 lb. $1.25, lb. $4.50. 



ONION SETS 



The Onion-set crop this year is again very short, and we cannot 

 guarantee the prices as quoted to hold throughout the season. 

 We will hold them in effect, however, as long as possible. We 

 quote the postpaid price by weight only instead of by measure. 

 One pound will plant a row of about 50 feet.

soo MUSTARD, Southern Giant Curled 



For southern planting during the fall, winter and spring months, Mustard is in quite large demand. Northern markets seem to be 

 able to take care of large quantities of it. It is used either as a fresh salad or for garnishing. By successive plantings of the seed every 

 few weeks a continuous supply may be obtained. The Southern Giant Curled is the most important variety and is the true curled-leaf 

 sort, its leaves being light green in color and crumpled and frilled at the edges. This variety is rather spreading in its growth. For 

 northern use sow the seed as early in the spring as the ground will permit, and the plants will continue to yield until after frost if 

 they are kept cut. The stock offered here is the true curled sort and is highly recommended. One ounce will sow about 75 feet of drill 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V 4 lb. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



630 OKRA, Perkins Long-Pod 



This vegetable is becoming more popular each year and at this time is quite extensively grown in some sections. Especially is 

 this true in the South, where large areas are devoted exclusively to its cultivation. The pods are long and narrow. These fruit-pods 

 are used in soups, catsups and similar preparations. The glucose material in the wall of the seed-cells gives body to the soup. 

 Another very extensive use is in canning tomatoes and other vegetables. It may also be dried and canned separately for winter use. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V 4 lb. 15 cts., lb. 40 cts.
