BERMUDA ONION PLANTS 
The new way of raising the large, mild, sweet onion. These onions are not grown from 
sets but from plants. You can raise them in your own garden and get as good onions ® 
as those that are shipped in from Texas. These are the same kind of plants that the H 
Texas growers are using. They grow fast, and can be used for green onions or you can 
allow them to mature. The plants are field grown and are well hardened and will stand _ 
shipping 1 and transplanting. A large number of our growers had fine success with them | 
last year. They come packed 100 in a bunch. Price postpaid: 45c per 200; $1.00 per E 
500; $1.85 per 1000; $8.00 per 6000. HHt I ■■■Mm-M
