NEW CREOLE— (See painting' from Nature on outside cover page.) A very popular 

 Southern variety, in fact it is grown in preference to most other varieties in certain 

 sections of the youth. The Creole or Louisiana Onion as it is sometimes called 

 resembles the Strasburg in shape though it is of a somewhat darker color. The flesh 

 is beautifully white and in flavor resembles the Danvers varieties. Many Southern 

 planters are' realizing very large returns from this valuable Onion, great quantities 

 are always on hand in the large Southern markets. At the great French market at 

 New Orleaus this is the favorite variety, and none of the commission dealers care to 

 handle any other sort if the Creole can be secured. Is in market early and the sup- 

 ply has never equaled the demand for this favorite vegetable. The Southern low- 

 lauds have produced wonderful crops of this truly wonderful Onion, and not a few 

 planters have made extraordinary large profits in growing this money producing 

 variety. There are various methods of growing this variety, some growers sowing 

 seeds in well prepared beds and transplanting to field when about five inches high, 

 while others sow in fields with machine and thin out to proper distance. The seed 

 should be planted in rich soil and given the finest of cultivation and care as they 

 should be grown fast and be well along in growth before hot weather commences. 

 This variety the same as other Onions can be handled with greater profit under 

 irrigation, and some of the most successful market gardeners are now making their 

 investments and work doubly sure by resorting to this safeguard. For early bunch- 

 ing North or South this variety stands first. The form and color are changeable in 

 different localities and when ready for market makes a handsome appearance. I 

 trust all will give this splendid Onion a trial and at the end of the season am sure 

 that the results obtained by planting the new Onion Creole will indeed be gratifying 

 to vou. You cannot be otherwise than pleased by planting this superior variety.
