ONION S£ED 



Steckler's Red Colombo. 



Shape, semi-globular to flat: color, outer skin red, similar to the Red Creole; firm 

 and hard, keeps well in transit; the outer skin is thick and hard, the inner one thin; flesh, 

 white suffused with purplish or dark red around the rinds; five thick, juicy rinds; flavor, 

 very moderate acidity which makes it ideal for eating- raw. Seed ready in September. 



Louisiana Creole. 



A flat, light red variety, grown extensively in Louisiana, Mississippi and other parts 

 of the South. Very fine and solid, a splendid keeper. Good heavy cropper. Requires 

 rich soil. 3 pounds per acre. If planted from September to October 10th it will not be 

 so susceptible in growing to seed 



Red Bermuda. 



Genuine seed imported direct from the Island of Teneriffe. A very early pale red 

 Onion grown extensively in the Bermudas and southern parts of the United States for 

 early shipping to Northern markets Grown in our climate the bulbs are smaller, but 

 mature early and retain much of the extremely mild, sweet flavor of the imported ones. 

 Requires rich soil. 3 pounds per acre. If planted from September to October 10th it 

 will not be so susceptible in growing to seed. 



Yellow Bermuda. 



The most widely and largely planted of the Bermuda varieties. It was generally 

 called white to distinguish it from the Bermuda Red, although it is light yellow or 

 straw color. Since the appearance of Crystal Wax on fhe markets the produce trade of 

 the country began calling this variety "yellow" to distinguish it from the pure white 

 Crystal Wax. This has led to some confusion as to the name and from now on we shall 

 list it under the name of Yellow to avoid any misunderstanding. Requires rich soil. 

 3 pounds per acre. If planted from September to October 10th it will not be so sus- 

 ceptible in growing to seed. 



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 still be obtained. It 

 is of mild flavor and very fine when boiled and dressed for the table.
