strain says: “ It is so early it can be planted with safety wherever the Dan¬ 
vers will mature." It differs from the Standard Red Globe in being much 
rounder. Hardly as good a keeper as the Red Globe. It is excellent 
for fall and winter use. y ounce, 5 cents; oz., 15 cents; y lb., 40 cents;

succeed in producing good pure white Onions, the crop should he 
pulled just as the stalks begin to fall down, and then allow them to dry 
off in the open air, keeping them free from rain or dew, which would cause 
discoloration of the bulbs. Packet, 5 cents; oz., 20 cents; y lb.,

ONION SETS

Onions for bunching come in very early, while the crop of large bulbs matures 
very much earlier than if planted from seed.
