Genuine Bermuda Onions 
ONION SETS 
New Yellow Potato 
Excellent for Green Bunching Onions—Very Early and of Rich, Mild Flavor 
Of golden yellow color, excellent quality and good keepers. The bulbs produce clusters of 
small ones, often as many as twenty from a single bulb. Onions are ripe much before any 
other variety. Excellent for Green Onions and also for pickling. This is the Onion to 
plant for all purposes. We have grown an unusually fine lot of sets this year and although 
there is a short crop, the quality is the finest we have ever had. Postpaid, Vz lb* 18c; lb. 
30c; 2 lbs. 55c. 
Egyptian or Perennial Tree Winter Sets 
This variety never forms a large bulb. Its value lies wholly in its special adaptability to 
produce green Onions for Spring or Fall uses. It is perfectly hardy, and when once set out 
will come up year after year. Should be planted in the Spring. We also supply these sets 
for shipment September 1. This variety increases by producing sets at the top of the stalk 
and does not produce seed. Postpaid, Vi lb. 15c; lb. 25c; 2 lbs. 45c. 
Bottom Onion Sets 
Bottom Onion sets produce an Onion ready for market or the household from 4 to 6 
weeks earlier than can be done by sowing the seed, and the product of the set is identical 
with that of the seeds. This gives the market gardener ample time to sell his entire crop 
at the early high prices and permits the sowing of another crop on the land the same year. 
Every private garden should contain a sowing of sets. Postpaid.

GENUINE BERMUDA 
Onion Seed 
Bermuda Onions are largely grown in the South 
and have proven a most profitable crop. They are 
planted there in the fall and shipped North in May 
and are the earliest large new Onions in the mar¬ 
ket. Growers can do equally well with them in the 
North. They are the quickest growing Onions 
known. Sown at the same time as Danvers and 
White Portugal, they will produce full grown bulbs 
about 3 inches in diameter when the others are 
only 1 inch in size. 
CRYSTAL WHITE WAX—This new variety is a 
large, pure-white flat Onion. It is the earliest 
and most popular Onion with the large growers 
in the South. It produces the mildest and sweet¬ 
est Onions of them all. It is very fine for slicing, 
the color being so clear and pure. Our stock seed 
each year is imported direct from Canary Islands, 
where the only True Bermuda Seed is grown.
