The following varieties have been tested in this country, and have given perfect satisfaction. 
The 
flavor of the Italian varieties is mild, and they are every way well adapted to culinary purposes. 
QUEEN.—A silver skinned variety, of quick growth and 
remarkable keeping qualities. If sown in early spring it will 
produce onions one to two inches in diameter early in summer, 
and if sown in July, will, with favorable weather, be ready to 
pull late in autumn, and be sound and fit for use until the 
following summer. Particularly valuable for pickles. If sown 
thickly, they will mature perfect, hard onions from one-half 
to three-quarters of an inch in diameter. Pkt. dcts.; Oz. 
licts.; 2 Oz. 25cts.; 44 Lb. 40cts.; Lb. $1.25. 
GIANT WHITE ITALIAN TRIPOLI.—A large, beautiful, 
pure white, flat onion of mild and excellent flavor. Will pro- 
duce a somewhat larger onion from seed than our White 
Portugal; but to attain their full size the plants should be 
started very early in a hot-bed and set out in rich soil.

GIANT WHITE ITALIAN TRIPOLI. 
EARLY NEAPOLITAN MARZAJOLA.—A beautiful, flat. 
white skinned variety, 6ne of the earliest of all, and a good 
keeper. It can be sown in February or March, and will 
mature a crop very early in the season or if sown in July. 
the crop will mature the same season. In the South the seed 
can be sown in the autumn, and large onions produced in 
March. Known also as Early May. Pkt. 5cts.; Oz. 10cts.; 
2 Oz. 20cts.; 4 Lb. 30cts.; Lb. $1.00. 
MAMMOTH SILVER KING.—An enormously large, flat 
onion, resembling the White Italian Tripoli, but is larger, 
slightly later and a better keeper, making it better suited for 
fall and early winter market. Skin silvery white, flesh pure 
white, very tender and mild flavored. Pkt. 5dcts.; Oz 15cts.: 
2 Oz. 25cts.; 144 Lb. 40cts.; Lb. $1.25. 
GIANT ROCCA.—An immense onion. Globular in form; 
skin light brown; flesh mild and tender. It will produce a 
large onion from seed the first season, but to attain the largest 
growth, very small bulbs or sets should be set out the second 
spring, when they will continue increasing in size, instead of 
producing seed, as is the case with American onions. Pkt. 
5cts.; Oz. 10cts.; 2 Oz. 20cts.; 144 Lb. 30cts.; Lb. $1.00. 
ONION SETS. 
Prices by the bushel are subject to fluctuations of the 
market. The price per quart will hold good through the 
season, or as long as our stock lasts. Jf ordered sent by 
mail, add 15 cents ner quart for postage. 
RED BOTTOM SETS.—Used precisely as top onions are. 
setting them out in the spring, instead of sowing seed. 20cts. 
per Quart; $2.50 per Bushel. 
YELLOW BOTTOM SETS.—Identical with the preceding, 
except in color, and used in the same manner. cts. per 
Quart; $2.50 per Bushel. 
WHITE BOTTOM SETS.—They do not keep as well as the 
red or yellow, but produce beautiful white onions early in the 
season. 20cts. per Quart; $3.00 per Bushel.
