ONIONS 
Yellow Globe 
Sweet Spanish (Riverside)—Produces very large onions, 
in fact one of the largest, very mild. Light yellow color. 
Extra heavy yielder. 
Red Wethersfield—-One of the oldest and best known types 
of onion. Very productive. 
White Silverskin—A large flat onion of mild and pleasant 
flavor. Used for pickling and for bunching. 
Culture—Onions require a rich soil. A good black loam is 
best adapted to the production of sets. For the average 
home garden, a good soil with a liberal application of man¬ 
ure or fertilizer will suffice. 5 to 6 lbs. of seed required to 
the acre. 
Yellow Globe Danvers—Early, bulb rather spherical, short 
top. Outer reddish brown skin. Long keeping sort. 
Southport Yellow Globe—The most largely grown yellow 
onion. Flesh white with slight yellow tone, crisp and mild 
in flavor. 
Southport Red Globe—The best variety of the red onions. 
An excellent keeper. 
Southport White Globe—An exceedingly mild onion with 
pure white delicate skin. Usually commands highest mar¬ 
ket prices. 
Prizetaker—A very large onion. Is very hardy and a good 
keeper. It ripens up hard and firm and has a mild deli¬ 
cate flavor. 
Portugal—Same as White Silverskin.
