 onion retains its great popularity. Its delicate and 

 mild flavor, its shapely form and size, and its pure

 are extensively grown from this sort, and from 

 these sets full-size onions are grown as early as 

 June and July. The onion sets and large onions are 

 used for pickling purposes because of their clean, 

 white, silver color. Packet. 5 cents; ounce, 15

Australian Brown.— This onion has claimed 

 a place in America within racent years, and seems 

 abundantly able to maintain it. It is of medium 

 size and of good quality, very early, rather flat- 

 tened in shape, of brown color, and wonderfully 

 hard and solid. It begins to form a bulb at an early 

 period of its growth, when only a few inches high, 

 and quickly reaches maturity. Its leading and 

 most valuable feature, aside from appearance and 

 quality, is its long-keeping quality. It will literally 

 keep for a year or more. Packet, 5 cents; ounce,
