ONIONS. 
Extra Early Bloomsdale Peai-x.— In many respects the most remarkable Onion ever 
introduced. Karliest of all, growing with the rapidity of a Summer Radish. Pearly white 
waxy, translucent. Form flat aud broad. Flavor very mild; all astringent qualities beinir 
eliminated, it can be eaten raw, almost with the freedom of an apple. Keepiuo- qualities of 
the matured Onion, fair Those who have tried it always want it again, bectmse of its dis- 
tinctive quahties. Ou very rich soil it will grow almost too large for market, sometimes five 
and six inches across. See priced-list in back of this catalogue.

Bermuda Island Red, and more flat, and though shipped and known as a white Onion has 
an outer .skin of a straw-colored tone; the interior is, however, pearly white This seed and 
that ot the Bermuda Island Red, we imparl from the Canary Islands, the .source from which,
