Southport White Glohe {See cut.) 

 Pure white color, and of very mild flavor, 

 also equally as good for keeping as the 

 Yellow Globe. Excellent for use as a 

 medium crop, but most valuable when 

 grown for the main crop, as the flesh is 

 remarkably firm and solid. It is an 

 enormous yielder, and as it is very attract- 

 ive, always sells at high prices. It is best 

 to dry these onions in a shady place and 

 give them plenty of air. Oz., 25 cts.; 

 % lb., 75 cts.; lb., #2.50; 5 lbs. or more 

 at #2.25 per lb.
