Acre. Sixty Days from Planting to Maturity.

Plant the Seed when the apple tree is in bloom, or slightly before, in 
hills or drills. If in hills, plant 5 or 6 seeds, 2 feet apart and thin out to 
two or three plants in each hill, or in drills, 3 feet apart and thin out the 
plants to 8 or 10 inches between the plants. The seeds are liable to rot if 
sown early in cold or wet ground and should be put in thickly to secure 
the’ requisite quantity of plants. Very rich ground is demanded by this 
vegetable. It is principally used in the South in soup, but it is excellent 
when stewed. Gardeners in the North make a great mistake in not planting 
more of this delicious vegetable. As easily cultivated as corn and produces 
a large crop. Tomato or vegetable soup including Okra or Gumbo is most 
delicious and is gaining in popularity.

varieties of Onion Seed are very short this year. 
IMPORTED VARIETIES 
Bermuda Island Red—90 Days 
The distinctive name of this variety is Red, but it is 
not altogether a red bulb, as it is dashed with red on 
a straw color. Very early, mild, sweet and flat, 
resembling the White Bermuda in every way but 
color. 
Bermuda Island White or Yellow—£8 Days 
This flat, mild flavored variety is not pure white, 
but light straw colored. It is possibly two days 
earlier than Red Bermuda. The most popular of the 
three Bermuda varieties. Planted very extensively 
in Texas and Florida. Not a good keeper.

Introduced and named by Landreth in 1888. A half 
globe sort, absolutely waxy skin, pure white, ex¬ 
tremely mild flavor, the best of its type. The 
earliest of the White Bermuda types, of great repu¬ 
tation in the South. It is a very attractive Onion, 
both as a set and for the table.

shape with an oblong tendency, with smooth glossy
