BERMUDA ONIONS 
Plant For Earliest Mild-Flavored Onions 
Ha$ting:s’ Bermuda Onions—Earliest, Mildest Flavored—Most Attractive Onions in the World 
Some 29 years ago this firm introduced the Bermuda Onion as a commercial crop to Florida, Eater it was introduced by us to South 
'Texas and still later to Southern California. It has made good to an extent that no other onion variety ever has. Each year millions 
of dollars worth of Bermuda Onions grown from fall planted seed are shipped to Northern markets from Texas, Florida, California 
and Gulf Coast sections. The supply of seed, which we always import, has not until recent years been sufficient to oflfer for spring 
planting in the Central South. The limited spring plantings made, however, for several years, proved beyond a shadow of a doubt the 
great value of the Bermuda varieties for spring plantings in the more northern sections of the South where it gets too cold for these 
varieties to live through the winter. 
We recommend the Bermuda varieties to you unreservedly for earliness, good yields and mildness of flavor either young for pulling 
green or fully matured. They are so mild in flavor that many people eat them raw like an apple. 
White or Yellow Bermuda S’Jl.iTS.S'Jt “2 
Bermuda varieties. Before we introduced 
Vlllwll ^ iiUi 400 y ouf Crystal Wax this was generally called 
White to distinguish it from the Bermuda Red, although it is a 
light yellow or straw color. Since the appearance of Crystal Wax 
on the markets the produce trade of the country began calling this 
variety “yellow” to distinguish it from the pure white Crystal Wax. 
This has led to some confusion as to the name and from now on we 
shall list it under the name of White or Yellow to avoid any mis¬ 
understanding. We make this explanation, for many who plant 
this variety for the first time expect it to be a pure white in color. 
Our illustration above shows Bermuda White or Y’ellow as 
grown from October planted seed. Less than six months from 
seed sowing (and mostly slow growing winter months) to the fully 
matured onions. No onion grown compares with the Bermuda in 
mildness of flavor, and for this reason it is immensel.v popular 
with millions of people who dislike the strong flavor of most of 
the varieties. You will make no mistake in planting the Bermuda 
Onion this spring. Large packet, 10 cents; Vs ounce, 15 cents; 
ounce, 35 cents; Yi pound, 90 cents; pound, $3.00; postpaid.

in ail sections where a red but mild onion is preferred. Large pkt'.,

Dermuaa^noi 409J exceedingly proud of. It is an ab¬ 
solutely pure white Bermuda Onion with a most beautiful waxy 
appearance that makes it sell on sight in the retail markets. In 
New Y'ork and other large markets pur Crystal Wax sells at 25 to 
50 cents per crate above the Bermuda White or Y'ellow. In Atlanta 
markets it has largely displaced all other onions during spring 
.and early summer. Except in color it is identical with the Y’ellow 
Bermuda ; has all its desirable qualities combined with much more 
handsome appearance. Seed of this is always in short supply, as 
it is a very light seeder. Packet, 10 cents; Yi ounce, 20 cents;

As long as there is so much greater demand than there is a supply of food, as well as most all products, prices will stay high. 
Prices on a few items may come down :i little but they will still be high in 1921 as well as in 1920.. You won’t need to piiy high 
food prices with a full home garden.
