FBOTSCHEB'S BED CBEOLE.— The 



seed was brought here j^ears ago by the 

 Spaniards, and after continuous planting 

 in Louisiana has become a special variety 

 in itself. It is hardy, productive and of 

 good flavor. The skin is brownish red. 

 flesh very solid and fine grained and rather 

 strong flavored. Extremely productive and 

 the best shipper and keeper of all sorts. 

 It is without doubt the greatest onion for 

 the Southern Grower, and is rapidly be- 

 coming more popular in other Southern 

 States. Matures a little later than the 

 Bermuda sorts, but does not rot as easily. 

 It is the largest and best under cultiva- 

 tion. For honie garden use, it is ijJi^ex- 

 celled. This is the greatest of all iS^ 

 onions. It is the best keeper, best producS, 

 er, both in yield and money. The Red 

 Creole Onion constitutes one of the most 

 important crops in Louisiana, and thous- 

 ands of acres of land are planted in this 

 particular variety every fall. Packet, 5c.
