LARGE RED WETH ERSFI ELD— This 
onion is still the leading red sort for main 
crop. It is grown more extensively in the 
West than any other variety. The bulbs 
are somewhat flat and under good cultiva¬ 
tion will grow six inches in diameter. 
Enormously productive and a first-class 
keeper. 
White Portugal or Silver Skin 
White Sorts 
SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE—One of 
the most handsome onions grown. It is 
large, of fine globe shape, pure white color 
and mild flavor. An abundant yielder and 
excellent keeper. 
SWEET SPANISH WHITE— This is the 
best strain of all the so-called Spanish 
types. The large bulbs with a coppery col¬ 
ored skin have mild white flesh and are of 
very delicate flavor. It has been developed 
into quite a good keeper. 
CRYSTAL WAX —A pure white, flat on¬ 
ion, largely grown in Texas for the early 
northern market. 
WHITE PORTUGAL OR SILVER SKIN 
—An early, large, mild flavored onion; 
skin a beautiful silvery white; a good 
keeper. 
OKRA or GUMBO 
(1 oz. to 100 ft. of drill) 
CULTURE —The seed should not be 
planted until the ground has become well 
warmed, at about corn planting time. It 
will always rot if the soil is cold and 
damp. In late spring plant seed about four 
inches apart in rows two feet apart. When 
the plants come up thin out to a foot apart 
in the row. The pods should be used when 
young and tender. 
Okra, Mammoth Green Pod 
MAMMOTH GREEN POD —A dwarf va¬ 
riety. The long, slender, deep green pods 
are produced in great abundance. 
DWARF GREEN —A fine new sort of 
dwarf bushy growth, much better suited 
to the family garden than the tall, strag¬ 
gling sorts. The pods are short and thick 
and of best quality, being tender and fine 
flavored when young. Exceedingly pro¬ 
ductive. 
WHITE VELVET— Of tall growth; pods 
long, s-mooth, and of velvety color.
