Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., Growers of Choice Garden Seeds, Cambridge, N. Y. 
OHIO YELLOW GLOBE — With the exception that it 
is distinctly flat bottomed, it resembles Southport 
Yellow Globe in every respect. Michigan Yellow 
Globe is practically the same. 
PRIZETAKER — For the home garden this is one of 
the best, mildest and surest to grow from seed. Bulbs 
are globe-shaped and of light straw color. 
SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE —The most largely 
grown yellow market onion and the most profitable. 
The bulbs are a true deep globe, having a small neck 
and a heavy, thick skin which makes it an excellent 
storage sort; the color is a deep yellow or golden 
brown, quite distinct from most stocks of this va¬ 
riety; the flesh is white, crisp and mild in flavor. 
SWEET SPANISH, RIVERSIDE STRAIN —This is the 
best strain of all the so-called Spanish types. The 
large bulbs with a coppery colored skin have mild 
white flesh and are of very delicate flavor. It has been 
developed into quite a good keeper. 
YELLOW DANVERS, ROUND — More flat in form 
than Globe Danvers, but in other ways quite similar. 
YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS (Our Finest Strain) —A 
very popular, dependable variety and, while not so 
“globy” as the Southport type, is still popular in many 
markets and is an exceptional keeper. 
WHITE VARIETIES 
BERMUDA CRYSTAL WAX —A pure white, flat onion 
largely grown in Texas for Northern markets. 
SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE— Of the true Southport 
Globe form with a thin, delicate skin of purest paper 
whiteness; flesh is very crisp, fine grained, snowy 
white in color, and exceedingly mild; usually com¬ 
mands the highest price in market. 
WHITE PORTUGAL, or SILVERSKIN — This variety is 
very extensively grown for onion sets and used largely 
as a pickling and bunching onion; bulbs are large, 
flat, fine grained, mild and pleasant in flavor. 
IMPORTED VARIETIES 
WHITE BARLETTA — One of the earliest, most hand¬ 
some and smallest of the white pickling onions; makes 
a good bunching sort. 
WHITE LISBON —Grown largely as a bunching onion; 
the small white bulbs seldom over 2 in. in diameter. 
WHITE QUEEN — A rapid growing, small, flat, white 
onion, used extensively for sets, pickling and bunching. 
WHITE WELSH — Forms no bulbs but is one of the 
best as a bunching onion. Of rapid growth, quite 
hardy and mild in flavor. 
ONION SETS 
We can supply RED, WHITE, YELLOW EBENEZER or 
JAPANESE ONION SETS from seed, and POTATO 
ONION SETS. Ask your dealer for prices. 
PARSLEY 
Culture — Parsley succeeds 
best in rich, mellow soil. As 
the seed germinates very 
slowly, it should be sown 
early in the spring, previous¬ 
ly soaking the seed for a few 
hours in tepid water. Sow 
thickly in rows a foot apart 
and half an inch deep. For 
winter use, protect in a frame 
or light cellar. 
One ounce for I 50 ft. of drill 
CHAMPION MOSS CURLED — 
The leaves are a uniform deep 
green color, very finely cut and so 
closely curled as to resemble 
bunches of moss. One of the most 
useful and decorative sorts. 
FINE DOUBLE CURLED —Stan¬ 
dard dwarf variety with finely 
crimped leaves. 
LARGE ROOTED HAMBURG, or 
HEIMISHE— The edible roots of 
this variety resemble a small, 
thick parsnip in shape and color, 
and are extensively used for flav¬ 
oring soups. 
PLAIN —Leaves are flat, deeply 
cut, but not curled, and very dark 
green in color.

PARSNIP 
Culture — Sow as early in the spring as the weather will permit, in 
drills 15 inches apart, covering half an inch deep. When well up, thin 
out to 5 or 6 inches apart in the rows. Unlike carrots, they are im¬ 
proved by frost, and it is usual to take up in the fall a certain quantity 
for winter use, leaving the balance in the ground till spring, to be 
dug as required. 
One ounce for 200 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds in drills for an acre 
HOLLOW CROWNED PARSNIP 
GUERNSEY — Our stock of this variety is not quite so long as Hollow 
Crowned, but of greater diameter. 
HOLLOW CROWNED, or LARGE SUGAR — Better known and more 
generally grown than any other sort. Roots large, smooth, tender and 
sugary, 15 inches in length by 3 inches in diameter at crown.
