 The Leading White Sorts 



White sorts are milder than yellow or red, but do not keep so well.

 both skin and flesh are pure white, mild and well flavored. Pkt.,

588 White Bunching. This forms no bulbs, and is grown solely for 

 green onions or scallions. Seed is sown thickly in the rows, and makes 

 rapid growth. The young plants should be gradually earthed up to 

 blanch the stalk as far up as possible. Pkt., 10 cts.; £ oz., 25 cts.; oz., 

 40 cts.; Jib., $1.25; lb., $4.00.

 pure white and mature within 75 days after seeds were sown. It is 

 a* splendid variety for both family use and the market gardener, and 

 is very largely used for growing sets on account of its fine shape when 

 small, and also for its good keeping qualities. This variety is grown 

 extensively for use in the green state as a bunching Onion besides 

 being well adapted for pickling. Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 25 cts.; oz., 40

Choice Onion Sets 



For the small garden, we recommend the use of Onion Sets and the slight 

 difference in cost, is justified by results. The risk of failure is almost elimi- 

 nated and the crop is ready much earlier. Onion Sets should be planted in 

 rows 12 inches apart, with sets 2 inches apart in the rows and receive regular 

 cultivation. 1 quart will plant a 50 foot row.

The Red Sorts 



Comparatively speaking, the latest to mature, the 

 strongest in flavor, but also the best keepers.

 in many localities, especially in the Middle West 

 and the South, and does very well in all sections.

 drought better than most onions. Pkt., 10 cts.;

 attractive. Bulbs reach full size within 110 days, 

 keep well and are of superior quality, very firm 

 and of strong flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 25 cts.;
