MOERS SEED COMPANY, HOUSTON, TEXAS 
Onion Seed for the South 
1 oz., 200 feet of drill; 2 to 3 lbs. per acre. 
CULTURE—Onions thrive best in a deep, rich fertile soil. 
Plant the seed or sets as early as possible in the spring. 
The ground should be thoroughly worked, well fertilized, 
and well pulverized. The only advantage in planting sets 
is to secure early onions, for better shaped and keeping 
onions are obtained from planting the seed. Onions from 
seed will mature in about 130-140 days; from sets in from 
100-110 days. 
or Yellow Bermuda; a 
WHITE BERMUDA (Crystal White Wax)—Unquestion¬ 
ably the most attractive onion in the world. It is an abso¬ 
lutely pure white Bermuda onion with a most beautiful 
waxy appearance that makes it sell on sight in all markets. 
No other onion has such clear white skin, such mildness of 
flavor. It is deliciously tender and can be eaten raw like 
an apple. A large yielder, consequently a highly profitable 
type to grow. Except in color, it is identical with the White 
much more handsome appearance.

shipping. No onion compares with the Bermuda in mildness 
of flavor. Pkt., 10c; Oz. 25c; Ya lb., 70c; Yz lb., $1.25; lb.,

RED CREOLE—Southern grown. The greatest of all red 
onions for the South. It is the best keeper, best producer, 
both in yield and money. It is a distinct variety that has 
been cultivated in this section for many years. This variety 
constitutes one of the most important crops in Texas and 
Louisiana and acres are planted in this variety every fall. 
Does fairly well when sown early in the spring. The skin 
is brownish red, flesh very solid and fine grained, and rather 
strong flavor. Extremely productive and the best keeper 
and shipper of all sorts. Crop failure—No seed obtainable 
until July 1st.

Pumpkins 
Onion Sets 
Cashaw Pumpkin 
This should be more 
generally grown, as 
it is really one of the 
best of all pumpkins 
for pies. There is no 
finer pumpkin. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; Ya lb., 30c; Yz lb., 50c; lb., 90c; 3 lbs., 
$2.50; 5 lbs., $3.75; 10 lbs., $6.00, postpaid. 
GENUINE MAMMOTH—“Jumbo,” or "King of the Mammoths.” This 
is the very best genuine strain of the true Mammoth Pumpkin. The fruits 
grow to enormous size. The skin is bright yellow, flesh is fine grained, 
tender and of excellent quality for pies. This variety is grown extensively 
for exhibition purposes. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; Ya lb., 30c; Yz lb., 50c; lb., 
90c; 3 lbs., $2.50; 5 lbs., $3.75; 10 lbs., $6.00, postpaid. 
GREEN STRIPED CASHAW—A great improvement on the old-time 
Yellow Cashaw. The pumpkins are much finer in appearance, being a dis¬ 
tinct mottled green, striped with white. Flesh is a rich yellow color; 
solid, fine grained, very thick. Sweet and most excellent for both pies and 
baking. They are very hardy, bugs seldom bothering them. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 15c; Ya lb., 35c; Yz lb., 65c; lb. $1.20; 3 lbs., $3.25; 5 lbs., $5.00; 10 
lbs., $9.00. postpaid. 
1 oz., 15 hills; 3 to 4 lbs. per acre. 
Pumpkins ought to be grown largely on every farm in the South. Many 
sorts are splendid for pies and baking; others make wonderful feed for 
stock during the winter months. This is a neglected crop in the South 
now, but should be far more largely grown. Pumpkins are easily sold in 
the towns and cities when not wanted for use on the farm. 
CULTURE—Usually grown in cornfields, but if grown as a separate 
crop, seed should be planted in hills 8 to 10 feet apart each way after 
weather and soil get warm. Hoe often till vines begin to run. 
SMALL SUGAR—The fruits are of small size, averaging about 10 inches 
in diameter; of excellent keeping quality, flattened or slightly ribbed. The 
skin is deep orange-yellow. The flesh is rich orange, of excellent quality; 
mealy and sweet. 
Peppers 
1 oz., 1500 plants; 6 oz. per acre. 
Sugar Pumpkin 
Chinese Giant 
CULTURE—Peppers are mostly used for seasoning meat and vegetable dishes; also for 
making chow-chow and chili sauce. The culture is about the same as Egg Plant, and the 
plants need as much heat to perfect them. Sow seed in hotbeds in December and January, 
and transplant them when the weather moderates, in rows about 2 Yz feet apart and 2 feet 
apart in the row. Cultivate and keep free from weeds. Sow in May for a fall shipping crop. 
CHINESE GIANT (140 days)—Larger than the Ruby King and remarkable as a show 
fruit. These chunky monstrosities are just immense, being double the diameter of any other 
known Pepper, and are really wonders to look at. They are also so mild that they can be 
eaten like an apple. Pkt., 10c; oz. 40c; 2 ozs., 75c; Ya lb. $1.25; Yz lb., $2.25; lb., $4.25. 
CALIFORNIA WONDER—The greatest of all Peppers. If you want a large, heavy, thick- 
walled, smooth, dark, glossy green Pepper, broad and of medium length, and of the finest 
flavor, this variety meets your requirements. Produces an abundance of handsome, blocky 
fruit which attains a size of 5 inches in length and 4 inches across. The thickness of the 
flesh alone (often % of an inch) places it ahead of all other sorts, and makes it a premier 
shipping variety. The plants are upright in growth. In the home garden it is always an 
object of admiration and is equally pleasing when served on the table. Rarely has it been 
our privilege to watch a new vegetable variety march to the foremost position in popularity 
as has this magnificent introduction. The stock we offer is the result of careful individual 
plant selection and is remarkably uniform. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 2 ozs., 75c; Ya lb., $1.25; 
Yz lb., $2.25; lb., $4.25. 
SHORT RED CAYENNE—Bright red fruits, 2 to 3 inches long; very hot. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
35c; 2 ozs., 65c; Ya lb., $1.00.
