ONIONS—Continued 
Prizetaker. We do not offer seed of this variety as it has been largely 
superseded by Riverside Sweet Spanish, a much better variety of the 
same general type. 
Southport Yellow Globe. When well grown on good soil this onion 
will produce heavy yields. The onions mature a little later than Yellow 
Globe Danvers, are of deep globe shape, good deep yellow color, very 
handsome in appearance and keep remarkably well. We have an extra 
selected strain of this variety which produces onions of uniform globe 
shape, deep yellow color and with small necks. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; M Lb. 70c; Lb. $2.15. 
YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS. True Strain. We have a very fine 
strain of this popular variety which for uniformly fine shape and color 
and good keeping qualities we think has few equals in this country. This 
seed will produce onions of perfect globe shape with small necks and 
deep orange-yellow color. The flesh is creamy-white and of mild flavor. 
The onions are firm, keep well, good size and are medium early. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; M Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.95. 
White UaAietiei 
SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE. Best for large white onions. The 
bulbs are of perfect globe shape, very firm and solid, perfectly white in 
color and of fine quality. This is an excellent kind for home gardens 
where first class quality is appreciated. To get perfectly white onions 
the bulbs should be pulled as soon as matured and dried in the shade. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; M Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.55. 
JAPANESE BUNCHING. For large “green” Onions. 
- When sown in the spring this 
onion will produce large green onions early in the summer. It does not 
form a bulb but the stems are nearly twice as large as ordinary bunching 
onions and remain mild and sweet for a long time. These onions grow 
in clusters, three to five onions being on one plant. With a little protec¬ 
tion this onion will stand all winter and produce fine large “green” 
onions early in the spring. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; M Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.40. 
WHITE PORTUGAL, or Silverskin. An early flat white onion of good 
size and mild flavor, almost entirely used for bunching or “green” 
onions. When the seed is sown thick in a “ribbon row” the onions ma¬ 
ture when small and are excellent for pickling, as they are snow white 
and very firm. This is also the onion which is used for “White sets” to 
grow mild early green onions. (See below under Onion Sets.) 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; M Lb. 70c; Lb. $2.25. 
Mammoth Silver King. A large white onion used principally for bunch¬ 
ing while green. The onions when mature are very large, flattened, pure 
white and of very mild flavor. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; M Lb. 70c; Lb. $2.15. 
White Welsh. This onion forms no bulbs but grows in clusters of four to 
seven onions which being small and slim, are very desirable for bunch¬ 
ing. If sown in four inch trenches in late summer and the trenches are 
gradually filled up as the onions grow, they can be safely carried over 
winter and will produce bunch onions very early in the spring. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; M Lb. 70c; Lb. $2.25. 
White Bunch (White Lisbon). This fine bunching onion is popular in 
many sections. It does not form a large bulb but has large tops and 
flesh of mild flavor. The skin is smooth and white. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; M Lb. 70c; Lb. $2.25. 
Extra Early Barletta. Sow Some for Pickling. The handsomest and 
most perfect white pickling onion. When sown thickly the onions ma¬ 
ture about the size of a cherry, perfectly round, pearly white, and of 
very mild flavor. Sow an ounce of seed to 40 ft. of row or 50 lbs. per 
acre. Our strain produces uniformly small even onions. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; M Lb. 70c; Lb. $2.25. 
Ebenezer Onion Sets

or fine mature bulbs for winter storage.

Redt Vc Vueti&l 
SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE. The Largest and Handsomest Red 
Onion. This is a handsome variety and keeps better than any other red 
kind. The quality is fine, the onions being very tender when cooked. 
The bulbs are of perfect globe shape, deep red, and with small tops. 
Our strain is very fine, being grown from carefully selected bulbs.

Red Wethersfield. The Earliest Red Onion. A very large, deep red 
onion, that matures early and succeeds well everywhere. The bulbs are 
flattened, very large around, solid and of fine quality. An excellent 
red onion for home use or market.

GERMINATION TESTS 
Harris’ Onion Seed is given thorough tests for germination, and 
the exact results from such tests are marked on each package so 
that the purchaser can tell just what proportion of the seed is of 
good vitality. We shall be glad to tell any onion grower just how 
our seed of any varieties he is interested in germinates in our tests 
before he buys the seed. 
Onion Sets 
One quart (f lb.) will set 75 to 100 feet of row, depending 
upon the size of the sets. 
It is very easy to raise onions from sets and they should be grown in 
every garden. If the sets are set out early in the spring, nice green onions 
can be pulled in a few weeks. The onions grow large enough to cook about 
the first of July in this latitude. Two or three weeks later they become 
large, ripe onions which can be kept through the winter if desired. The 
sets should be planted about 2 inches apart and covered an inch deep. 
For economical use of ground in the small garden it is a good plan to 
plant the sets about one inch apart in rows. Pull every other one for green 
onions in the spring and leave the rest for boiling onions. This will give 
you a continuous supply throughout the summer. 
EBENEZER or “Japanese” Sets—Yellow. These sets will produce 
fine bunching onions and also large yellow onions of the finest quality. 
The quality of the onions is far superior to other kinds and the yield is 
also larger. See page 27. 
Fine even sets.

paid. Not paid: Peck (8 Lbs.) $1.10: Bu. (32 Lbs.) $3.25. 
White Sets (Silverskin). Used mostly to produce early bunching 
onions. These also make nice looking and fine flavored onions to eat 
while young and will produce good large onions for fall use if left to 
mature. 
Beautiful sets, clean, uniform and true Silverskin. 
Qt. (1 Lb.) 30c; 2 Qts. (2 Lbs.) 55c; Peck (8 Lbs.) $1.55 transportation

“Last year I got a pound of your Ebenezer Onion Sets in June. I planted 
the sets June 26th and I got a hundred and sixteen pounds of good onions. 
Some of them weighed over a pound.
