ONION 
Sow 3 pounds in seed-bed to plant an acre, 
or plant 5 pounds per acre in field 
Culture. First plantings are made the first of September 
and continued until March. October and November are the 
best months to plant. In Florida the seed is generally planted 
in the open field, where the onions are to grow, in rows 15 
inches apart, and when 4 to 5 inches high they are thinned 
out to 3 to 4 inches apart in the drill. Those taken out can 
be used to transplant any possible skips. Onion seed can also 
be planted in seed-beds and transplanted to the field later. 
This is a safe and sure method, and is becoming very popular 
in Florida. Transplanting generally produces less splits 
and more first grade onions.

LARGE DOMESTIC SWEET SPANISH. (Riverside Strain). 
This is the finest strain of this sort ever introduced. The 
mature bulbs usually weigh one and one-quarter pounds and 
measure four inches in diameter. They are perfectly globu¬ 
lar in shape, light glossy yellow in color, and are exceedingly 
attractive in appearance. The bulbs are very mild and sweet, 
and are of exceptionally fine quality. This strain is particu¬ 
larly well adapted to Florida sandy loam soils, but is not rec¬ 
ommended for muck. Later in maturing than Bermudas. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; Va lb. 75c; 1 lb. $2.50. 
CRYSTAL WAX BERMUDA. (Imported; Teneriffe, Canary 
Islands Grown.) Early maturing, flat in shape, of beautiful 
waxy white color, exceedingly attractive in appearance. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 35c; Va lb. $1.00; 1 lb. $3.50. 
YELLOW BERMUDA. (Imported; Teneriffe, Canary Islands 
Grown.) We have a superior strain of this standard variety, 
especially adapted to Florida conditions. Bulbs of light 
straw-yellow color, of medium size, flat, early in maturity. 
Flesh is mild and sweet. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 35c; Va lb. $1.00; 1 lb. $3.50. 
RED BERMUDA. (Imported; Canary Islands Grown.) Our 
Red Bermuda onion seed is grown on a separate island from 
other Bermudas to keep this strain absolutely pure. This 
is a well known, standard variety in the West Indies, where 
it is grown more extensively than other Bermuda varieties, 
because it stands the high temperature and humidity condi¬ 
tions of the tropics better than other varieties, and also is a 
better keeper than other Bermudas and not so subject to 
splitting. The onions are of medium to large size, flat, with 
mild sweet flavor. The color is a deep red. It is very early in 
maturity. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; Va lb. 90c; 1 lb. $3.25. 
WHITE KEEPER. This variety is noted because of its won¬ 
derful keeping qualities for a white onion. The seed germi¬ 
nates a little slower and the plants grow more slowly than 
Bermudas. The onions are of small to medium size, semi¬ 
globe shape, of strong flavor making them good for cooking 
but not for salads. This variety resists thrips better than any 
other variety we know about and is not subject to splitting. 
The very best white variety to grow where it is desired to 
keep the onions through the summer in the south. Seed sup¬ 
ply extremely limited. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; Va lb. $1.25; 1 lb. $4.50. 
LOUISIANA RED CREOLE. Well adapted to Florida, very 
productive, of small to medium size, solid, semi-globe shaped 
Onions of light pink color. Strong in flavor, but one of the 
very best keepers. Seed supply extremely limited. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; Va lb. $1.25; 1 lb. $4.50. 
AUSTRALIAN BROWN. We have the true Buckskin strain, 
noted for its exceptional keeping qualities. Bulbs are of me¬ 
dium size, semi-globe shaped, very firm and solid, and the 
skin is very thick and chestnut brown in color. Rather strong 
in flavor, but a wonderful keeper in warm climates. Grows 
slowly and is late in maturity. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; Va lb. 60c; 1 lb. $2.00. 
KILGORE'S NEW LONG WHITE BUNCHING. This new 
onion has been developed especially to satisfy the demand 
for a variety that develops long white green onions of at¬ 
tractive appearance when bunched, and of mild sweet qual¬ 
ity. This variety makes a very long stem, nearly twice as 
large as ordinary bunching onions, pure white in color, and 
without the slightest trace of a bulb. These onions grow 
in clusters, 3 to 5 onions being on one plant. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; Va lb. 85c; 1 lb. $3.00.
