Considered 
the very best 
pickling onion. 
A very white 
skinned variety 
of especial value 
for pickling. If 
seed is sown out of doors in 
spring it will produce bulbs 
about an inch in diameter, 
maturing very early. If these bulbs are set out the 
following spring, or if plants are grown under 
glass in winter and set out in the spring, they 
produce large onions.

early winter market. Skin si'"ery white; flesh pure white, very tender and
