Soilthnort Whifp Olohp Alth ough a little later than 
OUUUtpuit mine VjlUUO the Silverskin in maturing, 
this almost perfect onion is superior. Nearly spherical, pure 
white, solid as wood and fine of grain, it is one of the hand¬ 
somest onions in cultivation, and for the main crop without a 
rival among the various white varieties. The quality being 
fully on a par with its appearance, every market has learned to 
appreciate and seek it, and it always brings the highest mar¬ 
ket price. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., lb. $1.00, lb. $3.25.

Danvers, and in size, as well as in form, it has a decided 
advantage. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., *4 lb. $1.00, lb. $3.25.

ONION SETS 
We quote all Onion Sets on the basis of 32 pounds to the bushel. 
A pound equals about a quart. 
CULTURE.—1 quart of onion sets of average size will plant 
100 feet; for an acre 6 to 10 bushels in beds, or from 3 to 5 
bushels in 18-inch rows. Plant the White, Yellow or Red Globe 
from February to May, or in the fall in rows 10 inches apart, 
allowing 4 to 6 inches between the bulbs, and as the best onions 
are those which grow on top of the soil, it is advisable to draw 
the drills very shallow. Sometimes, especially when planted in 
the autumn, the set will throw up a seed stalk, which must be 
promptly pinched out, or there will be no development of the 
bulbs. For the successful cultivation of this crop, rich soil and 
heavy fertilizing are absolutely necessary, and the beds must be 
kept clean. As the sets of our Norfolk Queen and Pearl deterior¬ 
ate shortly after being taken from the ground, they must be 
planted from the middle of September to November, no stock of 
them being carried after that time. They grow rapidly, and, 
if set out the middle of September, the large ones will be ready 
for use as green onions by Christmas.
