NEW VICTORIA ONION. 



An entirely new race of Mammoth Onions from Sar- 

 dinia. This variety is without exception the largest of 

 all onions known. Of diatinct oval-round sJiape, weighing 

 from 2'-/2 to 4^4 B>s. each, with capacity of still larger 

 growth under extra cultivation. Skin dark red in 

 color; flesh white or very light rose-colored; flavor 

 very mild and sweet; a good keeping variety. It grows 

 best in loamy, heavy soil, which may even be stony and 

 must be well worked. If properly cultivated, this va- 

 riety, uniformly larger in size than any onions hitherto 

 known, produces an enormous crop.

EARLY WlIlTE BARLETTA 

 ONION- 



This is a very early, small, pure white variety. 

 The onions have a very delicate silver skin, and 

 the flesh is as firm and as mild in flavor as any 

 sort known to us. But its great merit over all 

 others is its extreme earliness. At maturity the 

 tops die down directly to the bulb, leaving the 

 most handsome little bulbs imaginable. They 

 are from one inch to one and a half inches in 

 diameter, and three-fourths of an inch in thick- 

 ness. Its extreme earliness and fine quality can- 

 not fail to make it a favorite in every garden 

 Both for table use and for pickling it is most val- 

 uable. Per pkt., 10 cts., oz., 30 cts., ^Ib.. $1.00. 



SPANISH King or prize taRer onion. 



This is the large beautiful onio« that is seen every fall offered for sale at the fruit stores in New 

 York and other large cities. They are a rich straw color and of enormous size, averaging 12 to U. 

 inches in circumference. Although of such great size, it is very hard and an excellent keeper. The 

 flavor is mild and delicate, making the Spanish King a favorite variety for slicing for salads.

A new and improved type of this excellent vegetable. It produces roots of nearly double the size

 and resembles a good sized parsnip.
