White Portug-al, or Silver Skin. One of the leading 

 white sorts, beautiful shape and mild flavor. The bulbs are 

 flat in shape and mature early. It is a splendid variety for 

 the market gardener, and is largely used for growing sets on 

 account of its fine shape when small, and also for its good 

 keeping qualities. It is also extensively used as a pickling 

 onion, for which purpose it is well adapted. Oz. , 50 cts. ; ^ 

 lb., ;?i.S5; lb., $5.50; 5 lbs., or more, at $5.25 per lb. 



Southport White Globe. 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., 60 cts.;
