Mountain Danvers. 
White Sweet Spanish. This is a late introduction and be' 
coming very popular, having been propagated from the 
Yellow Sweet Spanish, which it resembles very closely as 
to size, mildness, flesh, shape, except in color. It runs ah 
most 100 per cent white, occasionally a yellow bulb appears.

large, late maturing onion, 
nearly globular in shape. 
Skin yellowish straw color. 
Flesh white, mild, and tender.

85c; 1 lb., £3.00; 5 lbs., 
£12.50; 10 lbs., £22.50, post¬ 
paid. 
White Portugal or Silver- 
skin. The most widely used 
white onion. It might be 
called an all-purpose variety, 
as it is excellent for sets, as a 
pickier, for green bunching, 
and for storage. Bulbs med¬ 
ium sized, thick, flat, clear 
white, hard, fine grained, and 
of pleasing flavor. It is a de¬ 
pendable cropper. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 20c; M lb., 70c; 1 lb., 
£2.25; 5 lbs., £ 10.00; 10 lbs., 
£18.50, postpaid. 
White Lisbon. 
Southport White Globe. Abundant yield and large size 
are valuable characteristics of this medium early onion. Its 
whiteness, firmness and mild flavor are also splendid quali¬ 
ties, especially for cooking. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; M lb., 95c; 
1 lb., £3.75; 5 lbs., £17.50, postpaid. 
Extra Early White Barletta. (Imported Strain). Very 
early maturing when about the size of a marble. On account 
of its small size and mild flavor it has become the most 
popular pickling onion grown. And just before it starts to 
form a bulb it makes an extremely pretty bunch onion. 
To produce pickling onions, seed must be sown very thick. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; M lb., 75c; 1 lb., £2.50; 5 lbs., £10.00; 
10 lbs., £19.00, postpaid. 
Yellow Varieties 
Yellow Sweet Spanish. (Valencia Riverside Strain). As 
the name implies, it is a sweet, mild onion. Until recently 
this onion was grown almost entirely in Spain and large 
quantities were imported into this country. The bulbs aver¬ 
age 2j/2 to 4 inches in diameter and are covered with good, 
dark yellow skin. A yield of 400 sacks per acre and 550 
sacks are not uncommon in Colorado. It has become very 
popular as a shipping onion and is a good keeper. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 40c; H lb., £1.10; 1 lb., £3.00; 5 lbs., £14.00; 10 lbs., 
£26.50, postpaid. 
Mountain Sweet Spanish. Most of the Sweet Spanish 
Onion Seed is produced in California from the Riverside 
Strain. We are able to offer a limited amount of Mountain- 
Grown Riverside Strain Sweet Spanish. After several trials 
we find Mountain-Grown Sweet Spanish earlier, a better 
keeper and equally as large and mild. For sections having 
an altitude of 4000 to 6000 feet, it is far more satisfactory 
than the California-grown or imported seed. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
40c; M lb., £1.10; 1 lb., £3.00; 5 lbs., £14.00; 10 lbs., 
£26.50, postpaid. 
Mountain Danvers. This is a distinct strain and type of 
Yellow Globe onions; developed on the western slope of 
Colorado, where thousands of carloads of them are grown 
yearly. This variety is semi-round and is one of the earliest 
and seems to ripen practically all the crop at once. Color is 
a beautiful dark yellow, shading to brown. It is an excellent 
keeper and shows less shrinkage than any other variety. 
The bulbs are hard, with thick heavy clinging skin. The 
surest cropper for western growers. The seed we offer is 
grown for us from selected bulbs in the high altitudes of 
western Colorado. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; M lb., 80c; 1 lb., 
£2.75; 5 lbs., £13.00; 10 lbs., £25.00, postpaid. 
White Lisbon. (Gold Seal Quality). For bunching. This is 
a very popular variety in Colorado. Also planted very ex¬ 
tensively in Europe. While it will make a good-sized white 
bulb, it is grown almost exclusively for table or green onions, 
for it produces long, slender stems, almost pure white from 
the root ends to the leaves or tops and is slow to form a bulb. 
It has a good flavor, being mild and sweet. Home gardeners 
usually plant White Lisbon in the spring so as to have table 
onions all during summer after those produced from sets 
are gone. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; M lb., 70c; 1 lb., £2.25; 5 lbs., 
£10.50; 10 lbs., £19.00, postpaid. 
Marvel of Pompeii. A new and execeptionally fine pickling 
onion. The originator claims for it to surpass the Barletta, 
being a little earlier and smaller. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; M lb., 
75c; 1 lb., £2.00; 5 lbs., £9.50; 10 lbs., £18.00, postpaid. 
Yellow Sweet Spanish.
