Native of Western Asia in very remote ages. Breaks ground in 9 days. One inch high in 13 days 
under most favorable circumstances in greenhouse. One-quarter pound of seed will sow a row 100 
yards, and 5 pounds will sow an acre, to produce big Onions. 60 to 80 pounds, depending upon vitality, 
should be sown per acre to produce Sets. 
IMPORTED VARIETIES

name of this variety is Red, but it is not altogether 
a red bulb, as it is dashed with red on a straw color.

White Bermuda in every way but color.

WHITE VARIETIES

most remarkable Onion under cultivation, growing 
with the rapidity of a Summer radish. Twelve 
weeks from sowing to maturity. The bulbs are 
pearly white, waxy, transparent skin, form flat, 
broad, with a slight corrugation around the edges. 
Flavor mild, all astringent qualities ehminated. 
Can be eaten raw with almost the freedom of an 
apple. The keeping qualities of the matured

and should be planted not later than October.

Silver Skin or White Portugal—100 Days. A 
mild, pleasant flavored, white flat variety, admirable 
for family use. Used almost exclusively to produce 
White Sets. Not so good a keeper as the Yellow or 
Red varieties. Bulb medium size, mild flavor, white 
skin. Is about 8 to 10 days earlier than White Globe 
and matures where the White Globe does not. The 
small bulbs are nearly round, but flatten as they 
mature. Listed by us first in our 1832 Catalog.

in all sections where Onions thrive.

YELLOW VARIETIES 
Ebenezer or Japanese—100 Days. An old yellow 
skinned variety lately reintroduced, bulbs deep flat 
of medium size, dark pure yellow, very firm and 
hard, popular at the present time for growing sets. 
Its other merits are that of a most vigorous grower, 
a heavy yielder, far greater than from Sti’asburg and 
astonishingly good, with long keeping qualities. 
It is the best yellow for growing sets. 
Pkt. 6 c oz. 26c z lb. 76c lb. $2.60 
Prize Taker—100 Days. Mammoth Yellow Globe 
derived from the huge Spanish Onion, exhibited for 
years in the markets in Autumn. Very early, does 
well in light sandy soil. Very large producer and 
fifteen days earlier than the celebrated Southport 
Yellow Globe. A variety which will succeed under 
conditions where other sorts fail; consequently, 
highly recommended for planting everywhere. This 
is a most valuable quality. It makes a solid, slightly 
oval, round bulb. It is a good keeper, twice the size 
of the Globe Danvers. Produces much better Onions 
from seed in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and 
New Jersey, than any of the Southports.
