vide small green On¬ 
ions in 2 to 3 weeks 
after planting seeds, 
and are an important 
crop to precede the 
seed-sown varieties.

ions much earlier than 
can be grown from 
seed. May be planted 
in early spring as soon 
as danger of freezing 
is past.

for winter use in the eastern markets. Produces well 
ripened bulbs, averaging two inches in diameter.

white, crisp, and mild in flavor. The plants have 
very slender necks, and consequently the bulbs keep 
well over winter. On account of their attractive shape 
and color and their excellent keeping qualities, they 
always bring a good price in the markets. Selected 
strain. Pkt., 10c; 3& oz., 25c; oz., 40c; 34 lb., $1.25.

4 to 5 lbs. per acre. 
Onions are very healthful and wholesome, probably 
used more often in the kitchen than any other vege¬ 
table, either in connection with other foods for season¬ 
ing or in many of the delicious ways to prepare them 
for their own tempting goodness. Highly prized for 
their tonic qualities, and doctors everywhere recommend 
the use of Onions in the diet because they are whole¬ 
some and nutritious. 
Onions are not hard to grow. They like a clean, rich 
soil. Sow as early as possible in drills 1 foot apart. 
AILSA CRAIG. Of mammoth size, larger than the 
Prizetaker, oval-shaped, pale straw colored skin; of 
very mild flavor. Extra large Onions can, however, be 
obtained by sowing seed early in the spring in the 
hotbed and transplanting to the open ground. Pkt., 
10c; Vi oz., 25c; oz., 40c; 34 lb., $1.25. 
SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE. Bulbs nearly spher¬ 
ical, slightly elongated; does not mature quite so 
early as our selected strain of Yellow Globe Danvers; 
a little more inclined to grow stiff-necked on some 
soils or in unfavorable seasons, but when well grown, 
brings the highest price, especially in New York mar¬ 
kets. Pkt., 10c; 34 oz., 25c; oz., 40c; 34 lb., $1.25. 
SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE. Identical in form with 
the preceding; rich, deep red, above medium size; 
excellent keeper and one of the most attractive of 
all. Pkt., 10c; 3£ oz., 25c; oz., 40c; 34 lb., $1.25. 
LARGE RED WETHERSFIELD. The standard red 
variety. Bulb large, flattened but thick; skin deep 
purplish red. The best of all for light soils. Pkt., 10c; 
32 oz., 25c; oz., 40c; 34 lb., $1.25. 
PRIZETAKER. Grows to an immense size and for fall 
marketing is unexcelled. Although of such great size, 
it is very hardy and a fair winter keeper, as it ripens 
up hard and firm. Very fine grained and of mild, 
delicate flavor. The outside skin is rich yellow while 
the flesh is white. Pkt., 10c; 3& oz., 25c; oz., 40c; 
34 lb., $1.25. 
Parsley 
One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill. 
Always required for garnishing, also used for flavor¬ 
ing soups and stews and in salads. 
Culture. Sow early, seed is slow to germinate; early 
radishes can be sown in same row and will be used 
before Parsley is up. A rich soil is best, but Parsley 
will thrive in any soil. 
CHAMPION MOSS CURLED. This is a prize win¬ 
ning English variety. Handsome, compact plants. 
Leaves have the appearance of finely curled moss. 
Hardy and slow to run to seed. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 
34 lb., 50c. 
DOUBLE CURLED. Plants compact, very curly and 
finely cut, bright green color. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c;

tensively used for garnishing. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 
34 lb., 50c.
