IMPORTED VARIETIES 
BERMUDA ISLAND RED —90 Days. The distinctive name of this variety is Red, 
but it is not altogether a red bulb, as it is dashed with red on a straw color. Very early, 
mild, sweet and flat, resembling the White Bermuda in every way but color.

BERMUDA ISLAND WHITE OR YELLOW —88 Days. This flat, mild flavored variety 
is not pure white, but light straw colored. It is possibly two days earlier than Red Bermuda.

Florida. Not a good keeper. Pkt. 5c oz. 25c 34 lb. 75c lb. $2.50 
CRYSTAL WAX —86 Days. Introduced and named by Landreth in 1888. A half globe 
sort, absolutely waxy skin, pure white, extremely mild flavor, the best of its type. The 
earliest of the White Bermuda types, of great reputation in the South. It is a very attrac¬ 
tive Onion, both as a set and for the table. Pkt. 5c oz. 30c 34 lb. 90c lb. $3.00

WHITE VARIETIES 
BLOOMSDALE EXTRA EARLY PEARL OR WHITE QUEEN—90 
Days. In many respects the most remarkable Onion under cultivation, 
growing with the rapidity of a Summer radish. Thirteen weeks from sowing 
to maturity. The bulbs are pearly white, waxy, transparent skin, form 
flat, broad, with a slight corrugation around the edges. Flavor mild, all 
astringent qualities eliminated. Can be eaten raw with almost the freedom 
of an apple. The keeping qualities of the matured Onions are very good, 
the sets sprout very early and should be planted not later than October. 
Pkt. 5c oz. 30c 34 lb. 90c lb. $3.00 
SILVER SKIN OR WHITE PORTUGAL—100 Days. A mild, pleasant 
flavored, white flat variety, admirable for family use. Used almost ex¬ 
clusively to produce White Sets. Not so good a keeper as the Yellow or 
Red varieties. Bulb medium size, mild flavor, white skin. Is about 8 to 
10 days earlier than White Globe and matures where the White Globe 
does not. The small bulbs are nearly round, but flatten as they mature. 
Listed by us first in our 1832 Catalog. Pkt. 5c oz. 20c 34 lb. 60c lb. $2.00

YELLOW VARIETIES 
EBENEZER OR JAPANESE—100 Days. An old yellow skinned variety 
lately reintroduced. Bulbs deep flat of medium size, dark pure yellow, very 
firm and hard, popular at the present time for growing sets. Its other 
merits are that of a most vigorous grower, a heavy yielder, far greater than 
from Strasburg and astonishingly good, with long keeping qualities. It is 
the best yellow for growing sets. Pkt. 5c oz. 20c 34 lb. 60c lb. $2.00 
PRIZE TAKER—100 Days. Mammoth Yellow Globe derived from the 
huge Spanish Onion. Very early, does well in light sandy soil. Very large 
producer and fifteen days earlier than the celebrated Southport Yellow 
Globe. A variety which will succeed under conditions where other sorts 
fail; consequently, highly recommended for planting everywhere. This 
is a most valuable quality. It makes a solid, slightly oval, round bulb. 
It is a good keeper, twice the size of the Globe Danvers. Produces much 
better Onions from seed in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and New 
Jersey, than any of the Southports. Pkt. 5c oz. 20c 34 lb. 60c lb. $2.00 
RED VARIETIES 
SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE—130 Days. A very 
desirable main crop, purplish red, globe shape with 
an oblong tendency, with smooth glossy surface, a 
large producer and an excellent shipper and 
keeper. The most showy because brighest color. 
Very salable in the market.

RED WETHERSFIELD—110 Days. The stand¬ 
ard red variety listed by us for over 100 years, 
popular in the East, where large crops have been 
grown for years for shipment. The bulbs are broad 
and flat. The flesh is a light purplish red. Very 
productive and an excellent keeper. The seed of 
this Onion is used very extensively for growing 
Onion Sets as well as large Onions.
