won’t keep over. Australian Brown is

to keep in perfect condition (except for a little shrinkage and 
loss of weight) for a solid year from the time it was pulled 
from the ground. For a late maturing, long keeping onion to

OTHER GOOD ONIONS 
In the previous pages we give a great deal of space to the 
Bermuda varieties. They are the most important for fall 
planting for Florida and all along the Gulf Coast. The 
Bermudas are the earliest to mature, and hold a distinct 
place, both as a commercial crop and as well for home 
gardens and nearby markets. There is a place, however, 
that they do not fill. They are early and the quantity of 
them grown is so small compared with the large and 
steady demand for onions that the Bermudas seldom take 
care of the market over two months in the year. This 
leaves a nine or ten months’ demand to be supplied with 
other varieties, for the Bermudas, unless carefully han- 
dled, do not keep well over three months.

Hastings’ Prizetaker 
OniAn/llA 9Clf«\ American growth, far superior to 
wlllUIl ^ llUiADD j all imported seed and ’way ahead 
of the Prizetaker onion offered by most American houses. 
It has been most successfully grown in all parts of the 
Central South from both fall and spring sowings. It is 
very large, frequently measuring 12 to 18 inches in cir- 
cumference, and fine bulbs have been raised weighing 
from 4% to 5 pounds each. During the last five years we 
have seen some splendid market crops of Prizetakers 
raised even under very unfavorable conditions, not only in 
Georgia, but in practically every one of the Southern 
States, showing Prizetaker to be well adapted to our en- 
tire section. Prizetaker is a light straw-colored onion with 
a pure white flesh, very fine grain with rather mild flavor, 
and will keep for any reasonable length of time. Pkt., 10c;
