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

684 Southport White Globe. A well known and popular standard 

 sort of medium size, perfect globe shape, with pure white skin. Flesh 

 is white, fine grained, and of fairly strong flavor. Late in ripening, 

 and one of the best keepers among white sorts. Its handsome

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.; j oz., 25 cts.; oz., 

 40 cts.; Jib., $1-25; lb., $4.00. 



590 White Portugal, or Silver Skin. The bulbs are flat in shape, 

 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.; 3 oz., 25 cts.; oz., 35 

 cts.; Jib., $1.00; lb., $3.00.

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.
