One ounce will sow 100 feet of tow ; 5 lbs. per acre. 
Soil should be well fertilized. For early crop, sow seed in cold frames in 
February, transplanting when large enough to handle. Open ground 
sowing should be made right after frost has gone. Sow one-half inch 
deep in rows 12 inches apart. Keep free from weeds. Care should be 
taken in cultivating not to go too deep and not to cover the bulbs. 
RIVERSIDE SWEET SPANISH. There is an increasing demand in 
America for the Yellow Spanish Onions due to their phenomenally 
large size, handsome appearance, sparkling white flesh of -very fine 
texture, and extremely mild flavor. Riverside Sweet Spanish is now 
grown over large areas. Grows large and does not produce “stiffnecks” 
usual in the Spanish type. The mature bulbs will measure 4 to 6 
inches in diameter, and weigh up to 2 pounds; equal in every respect 
to the imported onions. Fkt., 10c; oz., 25c; Vi lb., 75c; lb., $2.50. 
HOLMES' OHIO YELLOW GLOBE. (Special strain). This is prob¬ 
ably the type of Yellow Globe Onion most widely used in America, 
and there is no finer strain than that we offer. It is early, a reliably 
large yielder and keeps well. See page 5. Fkt., 10c; oz., 15c; Vi !*>•» 
50c; lb., $1.75. 
YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS. It is a main crop Onion which has re¬ 
tained the small neck and the uniformity of ripening. The bulbs, of 
medium to large size, are uniformly globe-shaped, with small necks; 
ripen evenly and are of a rich, coppery yellow color. The flesh is 
creamy white, crisp, solid, and of mild and excellent flavor. An excel¬ 
lent keeper, and a very fine shipping Onion. Fkt., 5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 
45c; lb., $1.50. 
SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE. (Selected Strain). Bulbs large¬ 
sized, deep globe-shaped, small neck; cures well, excellent keeper, 
deep yellow color, excellent quality. We urge every grower to try 
Holmes’ select strain; none better. Fkt., 10c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 45c; lb., 
$1.50. 
SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE. The finest of all white Onions. A good 
shipper and keeper. Our stock has the true globe shape, full at the 
base and shoulder. Crops raised from our seed have given excellent 
results to others; they will do the same for you. Fkt., 10c; oz., 25c; Vi 
lb., 70c; lb., $2.25. 
EBEHEZER or “JAPANESE.” It is very mild, tender, of delicate flavor 
and of excellent quality. Makes a nice sized Onion from seed, unsur¬ 
passed for producing early Onions from sets. The best kind for pro¬ 
ducing ripe Onions earlier than they can be grown from seed. The 
large onions or sets are firm, solid, wonderful keepers, flattened in 
shape, of deep yellow color and mild flavored. For prices of sets see 
preceding page. Seed: Fkt., 5c; oz., 20c; Vi lb., 65c; lb., $1.75. 
SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE. The largest and handsomest red Onion. 
Keeps better than any other kind, and the quality is especially fine, 
the Onions being of exceptionally mild flavor and very tender when 
cooked. The Onions are of perfect globe shape, deep red, and with 
small tops. Our strain is very fine, being grown from selected bulbs 
only. Fkt., 10c; oz., 20c; Vi lb., 65c; lb., $1.75. 
HOLMES' GENUINE BOTTLE ONIONS. It derives its name from 
its long, bottle-like shape; being mild and sweet, is absolutely unsur¬ 
passed in flavor. Bottle Onion grows longer, whiter and has more edi¬ 
ble stalk than any other onion. See page 4. Fkt., 10c; oz, 35c; Vi lh., 
$1.10; lb., $3.75. 
MOUNTAIN DANVERS .The fact that it will mature a hard uniform 
bulb several days ahead of Yellow Globe Danvers has made it a fa¬ 
vorite of the large growers. The earliness is the result of two things: 
the high altitude at which it is grown, and the 18 years of careful 
selection by the grower. The deep yellow bulb is apple-shaped with a 
thin neck, very solid, mild flavor, has excellent keeping and shipping 
qualities and cures exceptionally well. Our strain shows high purity 
in both type and color. Fkt., 10c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 50c; lb., $1.75. 
FRIZETAKER. A large Onion of bright yellow color and mild flavor. 
Single bulbs are globe-shaped and grow to a large size. Excellent for 
the market. Fkt., 5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 45c; lb., $1.50. 
WHITE PORTUGAL or SILVERSKIN. Early, medium sized, flat shaped, 
cures well, of pure snow white color, very good quality, fine-grained, 
and of mid flavor. When thick in the row, this Onion matures when 
small and is excellent for pickling or bunching. Fkt., 5c; oz., 20c; Vi 
lb., 65c; lb., $2.00. 
WHITE BUNCHING. Produces large showy, white Onions of mild 
flavor. Especially adapted for bunching, growing a large thick stem 
with little or no bulb. Fkt., 10c; oz., 25c; Vi lb., 70c; lb., $2.25. 
WHITE WELSH. Does not form bulb; the onions being small and slim, 
it is the best sort for bunching. If sown in furrows 4 inches deep and 
gradually filled up as the onions grow, they will carry over winter 
for spring use. Quality is milder than other perennial sorts. Fkt., 10c; 
oz., 20c; Vi lb., 65c; lb., $2.00.
