CULTURE. For sets sow the seed early as possible in the spring, very 

 thickly in drills. As soon as the tops die off in summer remove them to 

 a dry, airy place, and early in the following spring replant by placing the 

 sets in shallow drills, 12 inches apart, and about 4 inches apart in the 

 drills. The onions obtained by that process are of a large size early in the 

 season. May also be grown to full size during the first season by sowing 

 thinly in drills 1 foot apart and about Vi inch deep in March or early in 

 April, in strong land, well manured, and thinning them out to 3 to -1 

 inches apart in drills. They delight in a strong, rich, deep, loamy soil, 

 and succeed well if grown successive years on the same ground. By sow- 

 ing onion seed in frames in February and March and transplanting in 

 April onions of immense size can be obtained. For this purpose Prize- 

 Taker succeeds best. 



85. White Silver Skin. This famous onion retains its 

 great popularity. Its delicate and mild flavor, its shapely 

 form and size, and its pure white color make it a most de- 

 sirable variety for the table, for the market and for ship- 

 ping-. Onion sets are extensively grown from this sort, and 

 fromr these sets full-size onions are grown as early as June 

 and July. The onion sets and large onions are used for 

 pickling purposes because of their clean, silvery white color. 

 Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; '4 lb. 60 cts.; lb. $2.00. 



174. Australian Brown, it is of medium size and of 

 good quality, very early, rather flattened in shape, brov^Ti in 

 color, and vi^onderfuUy hard and solid. It begins to form a 

 bulb at an early period of its growth, when only a few 

 inches high, and quickly reaches maturity. Its leading and 

 most valuable feature, aside from its appearance and quality, 

 is its long-keeping quality. It will literally keep for a year 

 or more. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; V4 lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50. 



296. Yellow Globe Danvers. A popular variety of fine 

 flavor and a splendid producer. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; V4 

 lb. 50 cts.; lb. $1.75. 



201. Southporf Yellow Globe. Some gardeners claim 

 the Eastern-grown seed produces a more solid onion than 

 the Western-growTi. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; '/4 lb. 50 cts.; 

 lb. $1.75. 



36. Danvers Flat Yellow. Color brownish - yellow; 

 bulbs quite round and of good size. This is one of the va- 

 rieties grown for sets. They are more hardy than the 

 whites, and keep better through the winter. Pkt. 10 cts.; 

 oz. 15 cts.; V4 lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50. 



224. Mammoth Prize-Taker. This onion is seen on 

 fruit stands in the fall and is the largest and handsomest 

 onion in cultivation, and can be grown full size from seed. 

 It keeps weW, has white flesh, and mild, delicate flavor. Pkt. 

 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; V4 lb. 60 cts.; lb. $2.00. 



293. White Portugal. Fine color; mild flavor; pure 

 white. Fine for onion sets and pickles; will grow to large 

 size if sown thinly and kept worked. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.;

 tures in about 85 days. An excellent keeper. Pkt. 10 cts.; 

 oz. 20 cts.; V4 lb. 65 cts.; lb. $2.25.

 Danvers in shape and size but are superior in flavor and keep 

 longer. They are firm, solid, have a thin skin and are agree- 

 ably mild. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; V4 lb. 50 cts.; lb. $1.75. 



206. Large Red Wethersfield. Produces beautiful, 

 thick, flat-shaped, rich, purplish-crimson colored solid bulbs.

 good keeper and of excellent quality. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 

 V4 lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50. 



225. Southport White Globe. Of all our American 

 varieties of market onions, this generally commands the_ high- 

 est price. Of true globe form, the onions are 2 to 2% inches 

 in diameter, with a thin, delicate skin of purest paper 

 whiteness. The flesh is crisp, fine grained, snowy white in 

 color and very mild flavor. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; Vi lb.
