per acre will be required if drilled in 1 foot between rows. 
BERMUDA ONIONS. We import all our Ber¬ 
muda Onions seed DIRECT from the most re¬ 
sponsible grower in Teneriffe, on the Canary 
Islands, hence our truckers and gardeners can 
rest assured of being supplied with genuine 
fresh stock, and we caution every grower 
against cheap American-grown seed, which 
will not give good results in the South.

CRYSTAL WHITE WAX BERMUDA. Unques¬

world. It is an absolutely pure white Bermuda 
Onion with a most beautiful waxy appearance 
that makes it sell on sight in all markets. This

clear white skin, such mildness of flavor. It 
is deliciously tender and can be eaten raw 
like an apple. A large yielder.

CRYSTAL WHITE WAX 
OKRA—WHITE VELVET 
WHITE OR YELLOW BERMUDA. The most 
widely known and largely planted of the Ber¬ 
muda varieties. Before we introduced our Crys¬ 
tal Wax this was generally called White to dsi- 
tinguish it from, the Red Bermuda, although it 
is a light yellow or straw color. Since the ap¬ 
pearance of Crystal Wax the -trade began call¬ 
ing this variety Yellow, to distinguish it from 
the pure White Crystal Wax. This has led to 
some confusion as to the name, and from now 
on we shall list it under the name of WHITE 
or YELLOW to avoid misunderstanding. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 20c; V 4 lb., 50c. 
CRYSTAL WHITE WAX BERMUDA. Largely 
grown by truckers and shippers in Southwest 
Texas. These bulbs are large and of the true 
Bermuda type. They mature extremely early.

celled as a market variety or table sort. Thou¬ 
sands of bushels are shipped from our State 
to northern markets every spring and com¬ 
mand highest prices. Plant in South Texas in

February and March. Write for prices. Pkt.,
