BE SURE to try the latest in 
green onions—the Giant Chinese 
“One-A-Meal,” on page 15. 
Crop very short. Set growers averaged 25% 
a crop. Many growers did not harvest. Sets this 
season will run uneven in size, but we will have the 
best stocks available. Order early, however, as 
these stocks will not be sufficient to fill the demand. 
Early White Welsh, a splendid 
“green onion.” Grown from seed. 
32 lbs. equal 1 bushel. One lb. of sets will plant 25 
feet of row or 12 bu. will plant an acre. 
Onion sets are planted for onions for early spring 
use. A pound or two is sufficient for the average 
family garden. They produce green or bunch onions in 
half the time it takes to raise these from seed, and 
can be planted before it is safe to plant anything else. 
We quote prices on one pound quantities prepaid. 
For larger quantities, add postage. 
JAPANESE OR EBENEZER ONION SETS- 
In shape and color, this variety resembles Yellow 
Globe Danvers, but it generally produces 50% more 
onions per acre. Its great superiority over other 
onions is the big yields, long keeping quality, and 
freedom from going to seed. Japanese sets produce 
marketable onions in June and July, long before any 
others are ready. Price: Lb. 35c, prepaid.—Not pre¬ 
paid, 4 lbs. 75c, peck $1.15, bu. $4.25. 
EGYPTIAN PERENNIAL SETS -A hardy variety 
that may be planted either in spring or fall. They 
require no attention, spread rapidly, and make the 
first green onions for the table in spring. Price: 
Lb. 35c, prepaid. —Not prepaid, 4 lbs. 70o, peck (7 
lbs.) $1.10, bu. (28 lbs.) $4.00.

both for early green onions and for late eating stock.

ure. Price: Lb. 35c, prepaid.—Not prepaid, 4 lbs. 75c,

BERMUDA 
ONION PLANTS 
Grow your own first young table onions from 
Bermuda Onion plants. The plants are grown in 
Texas from the finest strains of Onion Seed. Like 
our Frost Proof Cabbage Plants, these onions are 
grown from seed outdoors, during the winter, and 
are subjected to cold, ice and snow. They will 
produce onions two weeks ahead of those raised 
from seed, and are just about as cheap. 
They are perfectly hardy, easy to grow and pro¬ 
duce the finest mild-flavored young onions in the 
shortest possible time. We ship them in bundles 
of 200 plants, all ready to set out, guaranteed to 
reach you in proper growing condition. Use them 
as green onions, or let them develop to creaming 
size. If allowed to continue growing they will de¬ 
velop good-sized bulbs. Orders will be shipped at 
proper time for setting out. Set out 100,000 plants 
per acre. 
We can usually supply the following varieties: 
Yellow Bermuda, Crystal Wax, Prizetaker and Va¬ 
lencia, but in case of shortage we reserve the right 
to send the varieties available when order reaches 
us. We prepay to 3rd zone only (300 miles). 
Beyond that at customers’ risk.

VALENCIA —Here is a new variety 
of onion that deserves a place in every 
garden. It is about the mildest onion 
in cultivation, a product of old Spain, 
now acclimated to our growing condi¬ 
tions. In appearance it greatly re¬ 
sembles the Prizetaker, with a skin of 
bright golden straw color. However it 
is even larger than Prizetaker, and for 
table slicing it rivals the Bermuda—it 
may be eaten like an apple. Very 
prolific and desirable for shipping and 
fall storage—a money maker for mar¬ 
ket gardeners. Bulb: very large, glob¬ 
ular with golden yellow skin; flesh 
white, very mild and of pleasing flavor.
