ONION 
Native of Western Asia in very remote ages. Breaks ground in 9 days. One inch high in 13 days 
under most favorable circumstances in greenhouse. One-quarter pound of seed will sow a row 100 
yards, and 5 pounds will sow an acre, to produce big Onions. 60 to 80 pounds should be sown per acre 
to produce Sets. 
Bermuda Island White or Yellow—88 Days 
This flat, mild flavored variety is not pure white, 
but light straw colored. The most popular of the 
Bermuda varieties. Planted very extensively in 
Texas and Florida. Not a good keeper. 
CRYSTAL WHITE 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. 
RED VARIETIES 
Southport Red Globe—130 Days. A very de¬ 
sirable main crop, purplish red, globe shape with an 
oblong tendency, with smooth glossy surface, a 
large producer, an excellent shipper and keeper. 
The most showy because brightest color. 
Red Wethersfield—-110 Days. The standard 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, an excellent keeper. 
The seed is used extensively for growing Onion Sets 
as well as large Onions. 
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. Twelve 
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. 
Silver Skin or White Portugal—100 Days. A 
mild, pleasant flavored, white flat variety, admirable 
for family use. Used almost exclusively to produce 
White Sets. Not so good a keeper as the Yellow or 
Red varieties. Bulb medium size, mild flavor, white 
skin. Listed by us first in our 1832 Catalog. 
Southport White Globe—110 Days. A showy, 
mild flavored, large pure White Globe variety. Very 
solid, producing, a good keeper and possibly the 
best for setting of all White sorts, unsurpassed in 
uniformity, absolutely pure white. 
White Sweet Spanish—A beautiful pure white 
onion. Mild flavor. Same as Riverside Sweet 
Spanish only in color. 
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. Most popular at the present time for growing 
sets. Its other merits are that of a most vigorous 
grower, a heavier yielder than Strasburg, astonish¬ 
ingly good, with long keeping qualities. 
Prize Taker—100 Days. Mammoth Yellow Globe 
derived from the huge Spanish Onion. Very early, 
does well in light sandy soil. Very large producer, 
fifteen days earlier than the celebrated Southport 
Yellow Globe. A variety which will succeed under 
conditions where other sorts fail. This is a most 
valuable quality. It makes a solid, slightly oval, 
round bulb. Produces much better Onions from 
seed in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and New 
Jersey, than any of the Southports. 
Prize Taker Onion 
Southport Yellow Globe—115 Days. A standard 
American variety. Very hardy and exceedingly 
productive yellow globe. Is more oval than the 
Yellow Globe Danvers, much larger, more solid and 
heavier. 
Yellow Globe Danvers—110 Days. An oval¬ 
shaped, straw-colored, long-keeping variety. The 
bulbs are roundish, of good thickness, and keep 
extremely well. A popular Onion in every section. 
Large Yellow Strasburg or Flat Danvers—110 
Days. The bulbs are large, yellow, flat, uniform. 
Sweet Spanish (Riverside Strain)—98 Days. 
Globe shape, bright golden yellow. Mild, delicate 
flavor. Small neck, similar to Prize Taker. In¬ 
creasing in popularity. Good keeper.
