MAY'S White Globe Southport ^(it^i; 
ONE OF THE most beautiful onions grown, being of symmetrical 
globe shape with a smooth satin-white skin, forming a per- 
fect silver ball. It grows to a large size, averaging 7}^ to 9 inches 
in circumference, and is solid and heavy; the flesh is purest white, 
close and fine grained, mild and of delicate flavor. It is a heavy 
cropper, yielding, under good culture, up to 900 bushels per acre. 
Our strain of this seed is grown from picked thin-necked bulbs, 
which ripen so uniformly and cure so thoroughly and well that 
the onions keep almost as good as the red and yellow varieties.
