ITALIAN VARIETIES OF ONION

a thing as a delicate flavored Onion, you have 
it in this variety. It is an annual variety, quite

seed; of a beautiful silvery white color; inde¬ 
pendent of its fine qualities, it is really a won¬ 
der in appearance and very attractive. Pkt.,

the famous White Queen; it is regarded 
as the earliest variety in cultivation. When 
crop is matured the tops die down close 
to the bulb, leaving the most perfect 
miniature Onions imaginable, ranging 
from 1 to I /2 inches in diameter; of a 
pure paper-white color, exceedingly mild 
and delicious in flavor; it is a grand variety 
for pickling purposes and if sown thickly 
in rows will produce small round onions 
of the size of marbles. Pkt., 10c; 34 oz., 
15c; oz., 25c; 34 lb., 75c; lb., $2.50.
