 ^i Culture. — By sowing seed under glass in January, February, or even March, and trans- 



\ planting in April to open ground, 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows, large bulbs may be produced 

 the first season from seed. 



One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 lbs. an acre 

 EBENEZER (Japanese). Nearly globe shape, of beautiful, deep 



straw-color, delightfully mild and sweet. Abundant producer. 

 EXTRA-EARLY PEARL (White Queen; Barletta). Enormous, 

 full-size bulbs from seed the first season. Skin and flesh pure white 

 and waxy, flesh delicate and tender. Often grows 6 inches in 

 diameter and weighs three pounds. Valued as a very early sort. 

 LARGE WHITE PORTUGAL. The standard, large, flat variety. 

 MAMMOTH PRIZETAKER. Immense bulbs (12 to 18 inches in 



circumference), bright straw-color; flesh white. 

 RED WETHERSFIELD. Beautiful, large, handsome, and globe- 

 shaped. Perfect form; skin polished deep red; flesh purplish white; 

 fine grained. Produces enormous Onions. 

 SOUTHPORT LARGE RED GLOBE. Produces large, handsome, 

 globe-shaped bulbs from seed the first season. Glossy, 

 purplish skin. Little later than Red Wethersfield.

 and larger than Globe Danvers, but later. Pale yellow, a heavy 

 cropper. An excellent keeper Easily grown from seed the first year. 



SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE. Large, beautiful, globe-shaped, clear 

 white Onion with firm, fine-grained flesh of mild flavor. Keeps well 

 and commands the highest market prices. 



WHITE SILVERSKIN. Its delicate mild flavor, fine form, and pure 

 white color make it a splendid table variety, and most profitable for 

 market and shipping. Bulbs should be harvested as soon as ripe and 

 dried in the shade to preserve their silvery white appearance.

 with small neck. Very early; enormous cropper; keeps perfectly.

 in color. An excellent sort.

MUSTARD 



MosTAZA ©enf Moutarde 

 Try Mustard cooked like spinach — it is delicious. 



One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill 



CHINESE BROAD-LEAF. The leaves are twice the size of the ordi- 

 nary White Mustard, and the flavor is sweet and pungent. 



OSTRICH PLUME (Fordhook Fancy). Vigorous grower with beau- 

 tiful, dark green, pungent leaves that curve outward like a fine 

 ostrich plume. The edges are as thoroughly curled and laciniated as 

 the best double curled parsley, making it equally desirable for gar- 

 nishing. Attractive as ornamental border plant. 



SOUTHERN GIANT CURLED. The true curled-Ieaf variety, sweet 

 flavored, pungent, and succulent; used for early salad.
