THE BEST WHITE ONIONS 



The White Onions are the earliest and the mildest in 



flavor, but only moderately good keepers. 



WHITE PORTUGAL, or Silverskin. The most widely used 

 white Onion. An all purpose variety excellent for sets, 

 pickles, green bunching- and for fall storage; matures 

 about 75 days after sowing the seed. Bulbs are medium 

 sized, flat in shape, clear white, fine grained and mild 

 in flavor. It is a dependable cropper. 



SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE. Handsome, large sized, 

 solid Onion of perfect globe shape. Skin pure white 

 with fine grained white flesh of good flavor. A good 

 keeper for a white Onion. 



WHITE BUNCH. A rapid grower, used largely for grow- 

 ing tender green onions. At maturity, the bulbs are 

 pure white with thick neck. 



RED ONIONS 



SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE. The finest of the red Onions. 

 Bulbs perfectly round, of good size, with small neck and 

 thick, deep purplish red skin; flesh white tinged with 

 pink. Productive and an excellent keeper. 



RED WETHERSFIELD. Bulbs flattened, growing to a 

 large size; purplish red; strongly flavored. A splendid 

 keeper for the home-garden.
