White Varieties 
SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE. The finest of all white Onions- 
A good shipper and keeper. Our stock has the true globe shape, 
full at the base and shoulder. 
White Bunch. The earliest and best shaped Onion for early bunch¬ 
ing; small bulbs, skin pearly white, flesh of good quality and flavor. 
White Lisbon. Used while young for bunching. The bulbs are 
somewhat flattened, 3 to 4 inches in diameter, and 2 to 3 inches 
thick, with rather thick necks and strong tops. Not a good keeper. 
SELECTED YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS. The bulbs, of medium 
to large size, are uniformly globe-shaped, with small neck and ripen 
evenly to a rich copper-yellow. The flesh is creamy white, crisp, 
solid, and mild. An excellent keeper, fine for distant shipping. 
Southport Yellow Globe. The bulbs are large, globe-shaped, with 
rather full shoulder, of a rich yellow color; ripen down evenly; good 
keeper and shipper. Flesh is creamy white, fine-grained, and of excel¬ 
lent flavor. Very hardy but matures later than Ohio Yellow Globe. 
Red Variety 
Southport Red Globe. Main-crop Onion with large-sized, perfect 
globe-shaped bulbs, smooth and glossy, with small neck, and of deep 
purplish red. Flesh is white, tinged light purple, fine-grained, but 
strongly flavored. Fine for shipping and keeping.

PROSPERITY. This unequaled green bunch Onion, like White 
Welsh, forms no bulbs. The lower 5 inches of the stalks, 
to inch through, are pure white, tender, and mild. They are 
six weeks earlier than bunch Onions from spring sets. No skin¬ 
peeling, just wash and tie. When pulling, leave stalks 5 inches 
apart in the row. These, by stooling, will fill the rows again 
in 60 days. A bed keeps steadily producing, yielding onions 
ready at any time to catch a bare market. 
WHITE PORTUGAL, or SILVERSKIN. A fine white sort for sets, 
or bunching when young. Mature bulbs are of medium size flat¬ 
tened globe with silver-white skin. For summer and early fall use. 
White Queen. Very early, clean-skinned for bunching when young. 
White Sweet Spanish. This is like the yellow Riverside Sweet 
Spanish in all respects except in its pure white color. 
White Welsh. A perennial forming small slim Onions, used 
only for bunching. The summer crop is sown in spring. 
To carry over winter for spring crop, sow in furrows 4 
inches deep, and level up the soil as the plants grow. 
Yellow Varieties 
Ebenezer, or Japanese. Large, somewhat flattened, with yel¬ 
low skin and firm white flesh; very small top and ripens 
early for so large a variety. Keeps well. 
Michigan, or Ohio Yellow Globe. Large, globe-shaped, with 
flattened base, small-necked and ripens uniformly; flesh is 
creamy white, and mild. This main-crop, muck-soil variety 
is fine for shipping and keeps well. 
MOUNTAIN DANVERS. This is an early-maturing yellow 
globe variety for early market. The thick-skinned, slightly 
flattened, fine globe-shaped bulbs are deep yellow and very 
firm and solid. They have remarkable keeping qualities. 
Matures in 100 days. 
Prizetaker. Large, late, nearly globular in form, sloping 
slightly at shoulder and base. Skin is yellowish brown. 
Riverside Sweet Spanish. Very large, bright golden yellow, 
globe-shaped Onion, uniform, small-topped, and very mild. 
Early spring-sown seed outdoors will produce bulbs weighing 
over a pound each. Ships very well.
