Inwood Favourite — This splendid new Onion, raised by Mr. 
T. Wilkins, Gardener to Lady 1'. Guest, has been much 
admired. It is a cross between Rous/iam Pwlc and Sutton’s 
Crimson Globe, but is far handsomer than either. It has a 
greater depth of bulb than liousham Park, and in shape is 
nearly globular, with conspicuous shoulders; in colour it is 
pale pink. Bulbs have been grown during the last two seasons 
nearly two pounds in weight; it is, therefore, on account of 
its great size and fine form one Of the best Exhibition 
sorts. The flesh is remarkably firm and solid, and it has 
been proved a splendid keeping variety. Being a strong grower, 
it resists mildew better than many sorts of weaker constitution.
