CULTURE. — One oz.\ for 100 feet of drill; five to six lbs. in drills for an acre. For an early crop, seed may be sown in cold- 

 frames in February or March, transplanting when large enough to handle in A pril or May. Regular open-ground sowing should be 

 made about the latter part of April or early May inlatilude of New*York, in soil that has been manured the previous year. Sow 

 about one-half inch deep in rows one foot apart, and then thin out to three inches apart in the rows. 



There are no Onions to compare with the famous Southport Globe Onions. 



Years of selection, in which every bulb used for seed purposes has had to 

 pass the critical eye of veteran experts, have had no uncertain effect on these, 

 and they are today, beyond doubt, the best of all Onions. They are supreme 

 in keeping quality. {See Illustration.) 



617 SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE 



The outer skin is a rich purplish-red, and the flesh is faintly tinged with 

 the same color. It is a little stronger than the white and yellow, and 

 preferred by many for this reason. 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; 341b. 90c; lb. $3.00; transportation paid. 

 Special price on larger quantities. 



619 SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE 



This is perhaps the best Onion of all for family use, for while it is similar 

 in some respects to the other Southport Globes, it is more atrractive in 

 appearance. The flesh when cooked is of a rich milky color, tender and 

 of delicious flavor, and when eaten raw is the mildest of the three. 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 45c; M lb. $1.25; lb. $3.75; transportation paid. 

 Special price on larger quantities. 



621 SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE 



The very best strain of yellow Onion, the exterior color does not extend 

 to the flesh, as in the red variety. It is mild in flavor and may be grown 

 by anyone where Onions will grow, and is probably the best of all for 

 general use. 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; }£Ib. 90c; lb. $3.00; transportation paid: 

 Special price on larger quantities. 



613 PRIZETAKER 



Magnificent in Size — Delightfully Mild in Flavor — A 

 Matchless Keeper — Succeeds in All Sections of the U. S. 



Prizetaker is at once the- largest and most handsome of all 

 American Onions, and is renowned everywhere. 



It is so well-bred that the tops drv down entirely when it 

 ripens leaving a clean, sound bulb, perfect in form, rich in 

 color and wonderfully solid. The outer skin is rather pale 

 yellow, the flesh pure, white throughout. It is extremely mild 

 in flavor, very much esteemed for slicing, baking and boil- 

 ing, in fact, 1 in whatever way it is prepared it 

 is unsurpassed. (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; M lb. 90c; lb. $3.00; 

 transportation paid. Special price on large 

 quantities.
