ONIONS FOR SPRING SOWING. 
Carters’ Holborn Onion 
is equally valuable for exhibition 
and for table purposes. Perfect in shape, it grows to a large size, and is distinct in 
colour of skin from other Globe varieties. It is a capital keeper, and the delicate 
flavour nearly approaches that of the imported Spanish Onions sold by Grocers and 
Fruiterers. May also be sown in the Autumn. See Illustration opposite
