White Queen. (Italian Onion). This is 
a medium sized, white variety from 
Italy, very early and flat; can be sown 
as late as February, and good sized bulbs 
will yet be obtained. It is of mild flavor 
and very fine when boiled and dressed 
for the table. 
Crystal Wax. This variety is the best 
White Onion we have ever seen. It is of 
a pure white and sells on sight. Should 
be planted in rich soil; if left exposed to 
sun after ripening they turn to a green- 
ish color. Excellent for shipping and 
the finest flavored onion in existence. 
Danver’s Yellow Globe. Brownish-yel- 
low color; bulbs quite flat and of good 
size; largely grown for sets. In the 
Southern States they can be planted in 
Autumn and will continue growing dur- 
ing the entire winter. 
Red Wethersfield. This is a beautiful 
large, handsome globe-shaped red Onion. 
Karliness, productiveness and keeping 
qualities. It has perfect form, skin deep 
purplish-red; flesh purplish-white; fine- 
grained; produces enormous Onions. 
The Prize Taker. One of the largest 
Onions, more flat in shape than either 
Danver’s or Wethersfield, and of yellow- 
ish red color. Flesh is firm and solid, 
of a transparent white and of excellent 
mild fiavor.

CULTURE.—Onion Sets, when planted in January and February here in the 
South, will most always produce fine large bulbs. 
five to six inches apart and about eight or ten inches in the rows. 
They should be set out in rows 
By planting 
sets you gain about three weeks in earliness of crop, hence it is advisable to 
plant onion sets instead of seed. 
Red Western. Will produce a fairly 
good onion, but are planted mostly for 
use in the South as green onions. They 
do very well in North Louisiana and Mis- 
sissippi. 
Yellow Western. Same as the red 
sets, only different in color, which is of 
a pale yellow or brown. 
White Western. A fine variety of same © 
quality as the red and yellow sets, but 
are not as hardy and do not keep as well. 
Red Creole. The seed was brought 
here years ago by the Spaniards, and 
after continuous planting in Louisiana 
has become a special variety in itself. 
It is hardy, productive and of good flavor. 
White Creole. Same as foregoing, ex- 
cept color is white.
