Hastings’ Dark Red Globe 
Onion(No.29i) 
OTHER GOOD VARIETIES 
In the previous pages we give a great deal of space to the 
Beriuiuia varieties. They are the most important for fall 
planting for Florida and all along the Gulf Coast. The Ber- 
uiudas are the earliest to mature, and hold a distinct place, 
both as a commerci.il 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 quautity of them grown 
Is so small compared with the large and steady demand 
for onio,ns that the Bermudas seldom take care of the mar¬ 
ket over two months in the ,vear. This leaves a nine or ten 
months’ demand to be supplied with other varieties, for 
the Bermudas, carelessly handled, do not keep well over 
three months.

Hastings’ Prizetaker ’’■'.'gf*;;/"'”.’: 
OniAn/klA American growth, far superior to 
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 spring and fall sowings. It is 
very large, freiiuently measuring 12 to IS 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;

.Australian Brown—The Long Keeping Onion
