--- handsome 
and uniformly globe-shaped bulbs. The flesh is firm, fine-grained and

sought in every market, one must, first of all, have good seed. Second, 
grow them well on rich land. Third, exercise great care in harvesting

bulbs in the open air are well protected from rain or dew, which 
would be sure to discolor them. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 65 cts., V 4 IIJ,
