TESTED VEGETABLE SEEDS 
15 
ONIONS 
Zwiebel. Ognon. 
Culture —The ground for onions should be well pre¬ 
pared by digging in plenty of well-rotted manure. The 
seed may be sown from the first of April to the middle 
of May. Sow in drills one inch deep and twelve inches 
apart. When the onions are up thin them out to a 
distance of three inches apart. 
PRIZE TAKER. This is one of ths best of the huge 
foreign varieties. When started early under glass, 
and transplanted into open jp*ound, they bottom fairly 
well, are nearly free from stiff necks, and when offered 
for sale always attract marked attention. This variety 
is without a doubt the largest onion grown, samples 
under special culture sometimes weighing five pounds. 
We offer this season American grown seed. 104 days. 
DANVERS YELLOW GLOBE. Distinct in form, 
being nearly globular, of a beautiful golden yellow. 
Mild flavor and good keeper. 108 days.

thick flat, straw colored onion, mild flavored, yields 
abundantly, ripens early, and keeps equal to the best.

round shape, medium size, with skin of a deep amber 
brown, distinct from all other onions, extremely hard

immense crops are grown for shipment. Large sized, 
skin deep purplish, form round, somewhat flattened.

stronger flavor than any of the other kinds. Very pro¬ 
ductive, the best keeper, and one of the most popular

SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE. A very hardy and 
productive late variety of the same general character 
as the Southport Red Globe but the skin is yellow and 
the bulbs are a little larger and later maturing. The 
globe shaped bulbs ripen very evenly, are excellent 
keepers. The flesh is white, mild and of excellent flavor. 
110 days. 
SOUTHPORT LARGE WHITE GLOBE. This is 
one of the finest onions in cultivation, both in appear¬ 
ance and quality. It is large, globe shaped, firm, fine 
grained, and of excellent flavor, and commands a higher 
price in the market than any other white onion grown. 
Its skin is pure white, and its keeping qualities par¬ 
ticularly good. 110 days.

glistening skin. A good keeper and much used for

SKIN. For pickling. This is of small size, silvery 
white and used almost entirely for pickling on account 
of its small size.
