SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE 
White Globe Onions command the high¬ 
est market prices when they are true 
globe-shaped and free from stain. Our 
Southport White Globe Onion meets these 
requirements, having a thin skin of purest 
whiteness. The flesh is crisp, fine grained, 
very white and mild. As soon as ripe the 
bulbs should be stored in a cool, dark shed 
or dry cellar. Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; x / 4 lb. 75c; 
1 lb. $2.25. 
WHITE BARLETTA 
This variety is more distinct on account 
of its earliness. It is earlier than the 
White Queen. It is of a beautiful waxy 
white color and grows 114 inches in diam¬ 
eter and S A of an inch thick, with finely 
formed bulbs, slightly flattened at the top. 
Its earliness will highly recommend its use 
as a substitute for onion sets. An excel¬ 
lent bunching and picking sort. Postpaid, 
pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; x / 4 lb. 75c; 1 lb. $2.50. 
SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE 
Very similar to the Southport Red Globe, 
except that it averages a trifle smaller and 
matures a little earlier. The skin is a rich 
brownish yellow; the flesh white, crisp and 
fine grained. Great care has been given to 
the selection of our seed, so as to give 
uniformity of size, shape, small necks and 
heavy yield. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; l / 4 lb. 65c; 
1 lb. $2.25. 
BOTTOM ONION SETS 
Small onions grown from seed that has 
been sown too thickly to attain a large 
size. The small onions (about Mj inch in 
diameter) thus obtained are planted out 
and are ready in a short time to pull as 
green onions for the table or bunched for 
the market. If left to stand, they make 
ripe onions of the best quality, and come 
to maturity some six weeks earlier than a 
crop grown directly from the seed. 
White Bottom Sets, Yellow Bottom Sets 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 20c; 6 lbs. $1.00. 
ONION PLANTS 
Raise Early Onions from Onion Plants 
For those who desire an early crop, 
either for table use or for local marketing, 
these plants will prove most desirable, and 
the fact that they are inexpensive and call 
for the minimum of labor and trouble in 
producing the crop has created an ever- 
increasing demand for them. They may be 
set out at the same time you would plant 
sets or cabbage plants. Plant in rows about 
15 inches apart and 3 to 4 inches apart in 
row.

PARSNIPS 
CULTURE—As the seeds germinate very slowly, sow as early in 
Spring as possible, in drills 15 inches apart on deeply cultivated, rich, 
loamy soil. Keep clear of weeds and thin to three or four inches 
apart. The roots of the parsnips are improved by freezing. 
HOLLOW CROWN OR LONG WHITE 
Root very long, white, smooth, tender, sugary, and of most excel¬ 
lent flavor. Very hardy; will keep through the Winter without pro¬ 
tection. Postpaid, pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; x /\ lb. 30c; 1 lb. 85c. 
SWEET MARROW PARSNIP 
This fine new Parsnip of English origin is offered with full confi¬ 
dence that it will become a prime favorite with all who use it. It is 
very fine grained and exceedingly sweet, while the peculiar “parsnip” 
flavor is fully preserved. The roots are unusually smooth and attrac¬ 
tive in appearance. The best of all Parsnips for the market or private 
garden. Postpaid, pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; x / 4 lb. 30c; 1 lb. 85c. 
PEPPERS 
CULTURE—Sow the seed early in hotbeds; or later, when the 
weather becomes warm, in open beds. When two or three inches 
high transplant to a warm, mellow soil, in rows eighteen inches 
apart and a foot apart in the rows. Guano and hen manure are 
excellent fertilizers and will greatly increase the yield. 
CHINESE GIANT 
Sweet. The mildest and best of the field Red Peppers. Four to 
five inches in diameter; color, brilliant deep red; borne in clusters; 
bush stock, well branched; vigorous and about as early as Ruby 
King. Postpaid, pkt. 10c; oz. 60c; x / 4 lb. $1.75.
