White Silver . Skin Onion.— This famous 

 onion retains its great popularity. Its delicate and 

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

 white color makes it a most desirable variety for 

 the table, for the market, and for shipping. Onion 

 sets are extensively grown from this sort, and 

 from these sets full grown 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 ;

 cents; pound, $1.25.

 a place in America within recent 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, S 

 cents; ounce, 10 cents; J4 pound, 35 cents; pound, 

 cx) cents. '
