 FERRY'S SEEDS 



RED VARIETIES (Continued) 

 SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE Our trials continue to prove that 

 this variety also is one of the best keepers. The globes are 

 medium to large in size and medium early. A smooth deep 

 purplish-red skin covers the paler flesh which is mild, fine 

 grained, and tender. This onion is excellent for home 

 gardens.

EXTRA EARLY RED FLAT The first of the red onions to 

 ripen and an excellent keeper for so early a variety. It is 

 very hardy and yields uniformly flat, medium sized bulbs. 

 The skin is rich purple-red, and the flesh is white with 

 purple tint; the flavor is moderately strong.

SWEET SPANISH (Riverside Strain) This finely bred strain 

 is steadily increasing in popularity due to large size, attrac- 

 tive yellowish-brown covering, and excellent flavor. Under 

 favorable conditions the globe-shaped bulbs often weigh 

 2 pounds. They always possess a delicious mild flavor, 

 and they keep very well.

 gro^Ti, and best keepers. Unexcelled for general purposes 

 and especially valuable for sets. Bulbs medium large; flat, 

 but fairly thick; clear bright yellow; flesh white with faint 

 tint of yellow; firm and hard.

YELLOW DUTCH or STRASBURG Our stock 

 of this early variety is distinctly superior 

 in size of bulb, uniformity of shape, and 

 evenness of color. The large flat onions have 

 a creamy-white rr ild flesh protected by a 

 straw colored skin. The variety ripens 

 quickly, keeps very well, and is extensively 

 used for onion sets.
