ITALIAN ONIONS. 



These varieties grow to a monstrous size, and 

 are of mild superior flavor. They require a 

 deep, rich soil. The followin;^ varieties are very 

 much liked by all who have tried them. While 

 we would not recommend the raising of a large 

 crop of Onions by sowing imported seed, we be- 

 lieve the following varieties will be fouud very 

 desirable for early market and home use, during 

 the summer, autumn and early winter. They are 

 especially desirable for the Southern States. 



MAMMOTH POMPEII ONION.

^ extra large variety. Notwithstanding the 

 enormous size attained by specimens of this 

 variety, they retain their perfect shape and 

 fine quality. The skin is thin and of a beau- 

 tiful, handsome reddish-brown color; the flesh 

 is pure white, very fine grained, and remark- 

 ably mild and pleasant to the taste. Speci- 

 mens have been exhibited weighing over five 

 pounds. This variety is sure to attract great 

 attention at fairs or fruit stands. Per pkt. 5

EARLY WHITE BARLETTA. This is a very 

 early, small, pure white variety; flesh is firm 

 and mild in flavor. But its great merit over 

 all others is its extreme earliuess. At maturity 

 the tops die down directly to the bulb, leaving 

 the most handsome little bulbs imaginable. 

 Its extreme earliness and fine quality cannot 

 fail to make it a favorite in every garden. 

 Both for table use and for pickling it is most 

 valuable. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., K lb. 60 cts.

ONION SETS. 



Sets furnish large onions early, as wel], as the 

 first green onions for table use. Plant the sets 

 as early in spring as possi^ble, in shallow drills, 

 one foot apart, and four inches between sets. 

 Cover slightly. They can be used in a green 

 state in .Tune, and are ripened off by July. One 

 quart of sets is needed for forty feet of drill. 



WHITE MULTIPLIER SETS. These are of a 

 pure silvery white color, enormously produc- 

 tive, frequentlv produ-cing as many as twenty 

 bulbs in a single cluster, of excellent quality 

 and size for bunching green, or can be ripened 

 for use as pickling onions. Good keepers, hav- 

 ing kept perfectly sound for a year, but their 

 most important quality is extreme earliness. 

 The largest of the sets, if allowed to grow 

 through the summer makes an onion of fair 

 size, which divides when ripening in the fall, 

 multiplying liberally for another season. Per
