 CHOICE ONION SEED-Continned 



WHITE PORTUGAL, OR SILVER SKIN ONION

 gardener, and is very largely used for growing sets on account 

 of its fine shape when small, and also for its good keeping 

 qualities. It is also extensively used as a pickling onion, for 

 which purpose it seems to be finely adapted. Oz., 15 cts. ;

 color, mild flavor, and equally good for keeping as the yellow
