shaped bulbs have a light straw colored skin, while 
the flesh is white , and very mild. The ripe onions are 
excellent keepers and surpass, in this respect, most of 
the other varieties, if properly handled. Experiments 
have shown that of onions harvested in August, fully 
95 per cent were in fine marketable condition in Jan- 
uary, free from split and rotting. These onions are 
excellent for marketing purposes as well as home use.

cially adapted to the Southern States and is the most 
profitable of all varieties of onions for the grower. 
Ease of cultivation, large size and mildness of flavor 
make it the most valuable of this type. The White

and preferred to all others by growers in the South. We
