Bermuda Onion Seed 
The best stock of this seed is grown in Teneriffe, Canary 
Islands. We import our seed direct from the best growers in 
Teneriffe, making our contracts before the bulbs are planted.

Southern Texas sow in September and October; Middle and North¬ 
ern Texas, we think it best to sow in February, for large onions 
by July. 
262—CRYSTAL WHITE WAX BERMUDA (True Stock) —Tene- 
riffe-grown. The pure White Bermuda Onion which has brought 
the fancy prices on the Northern markets; its beautiful pearly- 
white appearance, together with its mild, sweet flavor, makes 
it a very ready seller. Please order early. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 
1/4 lb. 85c; lb. $3.00; 2 lbs. $5.75; postpaid. 
These plants are rapid growers, will give you green onions 
within a couple of weeks of good growing weather. If left 
in the soil to mature will produce an extra large flat onion, 
the mildest and sweetest variety of the onion family. Onions 
produced from plants are usually free from the 
“hollow center” that usually shows in a ma¬ 
tured onion produced from a set. These plants 
are very slow to run to seed, overcoming an¬ 
other fault of an onion grown from the set.
