WHITE MULTIPLIER ONION SETS, 
This new extra early and extra hardy onion is of pure sil¬ 
very-white color, enormously productive, sometimes produc¬ 
ing as many as twenty bulbs in a single cluster; of excellent 
quality and size for bunching green, or can be ripened for use 
as a pickling onion. Its keeping qualities are remarkable — 
having kept perfectly sound for a year. The largest of the 
sets, if allowed to grow through the summer, make an onion of 
fair size, which divides when ripening in the fall, multiplying 
liberally for another year. For earliest Northern shipment 
from the South it is a profitable crop. Price, per peck, express 
at purchaser's expense, $2.25; per qt., postpaid, 52 cts. 
LARGE RED. 
This is the famous old stand-by, which 
perhaps is more extensively raised than 
any other sort. It is hardy, later than 
Danvers, and has not been bred to make 
as handsome an onion. The Reds are 
sweeter onions to eat than the yellow 
sorts, but do not look so inviting when 
cooked. In the Northern markets they 
do not sell as readily as the Danvers. Price, per lb., postpaid, 
$2.00; per oz., 20 cts.; per pkg., 5 cts. 
THE EARLY CRACKER. 
Is the earliest of all our yellow sorts, of 
superior quality, and, like the Early Flat 
Red, is an excellent kind to raise where 
the seasons are short. Price, per lb., post¬ 
paid, $2.50; per oz., 25 cts.; per pkg., 
10 cts.

50VITHFORT EARLY REb QLOBE. 
After spending thirty 
years in testing every new 
variety of onion, we thought 
we knew all of our Ameri¬ 
can sorts to perfection, but 
three seasons ago we en¬ 
countered a surprise, a glob¬ 
ular red onion, in shape like 
the round Southport, but 
instead of being late, like 
that variety, this proves to be 
us early as the Danvers or 
Early Bed Globe. Ever} 7 " 
onion raiser admires the 
Southport strains of onions, 
which always bring an extra 
price in the market, but the 
defect with them is they are 
too late to be relied upon to 
ripen north of Southern N ew 
England. Now here comes a new variety which is so early 
that it can be planted with safety wherever the Danvers will 
mature. This new onion, which we catalogue as Southport 
Early Red Globe, differs from our standard Early Red Globe 
in being much rounder. Hardly as good a keeper as the Red 
Globe, it is excellent for fall and early winter use. 
Writes Mr. H. N. Wixson, Mason, Midi.: “Your Southport Early Red 
Globe Onion is the best red I have ever grown. I want more of it.” 
Jesse Moffit, Liberty Hill, Conn., writes: “The Southport Early "Red 
Globe Onions were perfect beauties, round as a ball and uniform in size.” 
Mr. Little, of Newbury, an old onion raiser, is enthusiastic in its praise. 
He tells us toat he never raised a red variety that would compare with it; 
it was a capital cropper, remarkably early, and bottomed first rate, and 
made a very handsome onion. 
Price, per lb., postpaid, $2.50 ; oz., 25 cts.; pkg., 10 cts. 
The farmer who plants Golden Champion Pole Beans will invite 
his neighbors to see the crop. 
PRIZE TAKER. 
This is one of the best of'the huge foreign varieties, that 
will at the North give more or less of large onions, of more 
value to look at and draw the eye of the crowd at the annual 
fair than to be depended on for real, practical use, but they 
appear to be better suited for the Middle and Southern States, 
as the yearly percentage of increase of sales in these sections 
plainly shows. They bottom well, are free from stiff necks, 
and when offered for sale always attract marked attention, as 
the variety is without doubt the largest onion grown, samples 
under special culture often weighing five pounds. We offer 
this season American-grown seeds of the variety. Price, per 
lb., postpaid, $3.00; pm*. 5 lb., 98 cts.; per oz., 30 cts.; per 
pkg., 10 cts.
