Onions— (Continued) 
SWEET SPANISH (Special Strain) —This special strain 
seed is grown for us by one of the best Rocky Ford 
growers. This Onion has been selected for its globe 
shape and dark colored thick skin. Keeps better in 
storage than the regular Sweet Spanish. 
WHITE SWEET SPANISH —The pure white flesh of this 
onion is fine grained and exceptionally sweet. It is a 
splendid sort to use in salads or other ways without 
cooking. A very good keeper for so early and large 
variety, and is excellent for either the home or market 
garden. 
SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE —The most largely grown 
yellow market onion and the most profitable. The 
bulbs are a true deep globe, having a small neck and 
a heavy, thick skin which makes it an excellent stor¬ 
age sort; the color is a deep yellow or golden brown. 
The flesh is white, crisp and mild in flavor. 
SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE —The finest type and most 
popular of the red onions. The bulbs are distinctly 
globe shaped, with a small neck, and are excellent 
keepers; color a deep purplish-red. We have, an un¬ 
equalled strain of this variety. 
SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE —The handsomest onion 
grown. Beautiful silvery white, perfectly globe- 
shaped, uniform in size. Flesh firm, fine-grained,, 
sdlid, and of pleasant flavor. Very small neck. 
WHITE BARLETTA (Pickling) —The best small white 
onion for pickling. Our seed is the real Barletta onion, 
producing very small round, white onions that mature 
very early. Sow at the rate of 4 0 lbs., per acre. 
BERMUDA CRYSTAL WHITE WAX —The most attractive 
onion in the world. It is a waxy white, of the finest 
flavor and quality. It is the onion that is grown so 
largely in the South and commands a premium over 
any other onion in the leading markets. 
BERMUDA WHITE OR yellow —This is the standard 
variety grown so largely in Texas. It is the most 
hardy of all sorts, very prolific, less affected by 
disease and will yield more than any other variety. 
WHITE PORTUGAL OR SILVERSKIN —A large, flat, white 
onion of mild and pleasant flavor; hard and fine 
grained. The Portugal is more extensively grown for 
sets than any other white variety, and is also largely 
used as a pickier and for bunching. 
SUPERIOR BUNCHING —This new onion from Japan, 
does not form a bulb, but when sown in the spring 
will produce large green onions early in the summer. 
The onions are nearly twice as large as ordinary 
bunching onions and remain mild and sweet for a long 
time. Best for trenching. 
A Field of Sweet Spanish Onions 
GIANT WHITE ITALIAN TRIPOLI —A large, pure white, 
flat onion of mild and excellent flavor. This medium 
early and productive variety will produce a larger 
bulb from seed than White Portugal, but to attain 
full size the seed should be sown very early in a hot¬ 
bed and the young plants set out in rich soil. When 
grown under proper conditions the bulbs are often 
three to four inches across, with pure white skin. 
White Lisbon 
WHITE LISBON —This is the best and 
most profitable variety of the bunch¬ 
ing sort, acres of them being grown here 
by the gardeners for bunching for local 
and shipping trade. 
MAMMOTH SILVER KING —Very large 
white, flat onion used principally for 
bunching while green. Seed sown in the 
spring will make large boiling onions in 
July and August.
