ONIONS—Continued 
YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS. This fine onion is of 
large size, an early and abundant cropper. Bulbs 
very thick, flat or slightly convex bottoms, full oval 
top with small neck and rich brownish yellow skin. 
Pkt., 10c; 0z., 60c; Ib., $6.00. 
EBENEZER. The onions are not unlike Yellow Globe 
Danvers in shape and size, but are superior in flavor 
and keep longer. They are firm, solid, have a thin 
skin, and are agreeably mild. Also planted exten- 
sively to produce small sets for the following sea- 
son. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; lb., $5.00. 
SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE. This is a fine keeper. 
Large size and considered one of the best red 
onions. Flesh is fine grained, very mild and tender. 
Pkt., 10c; 0z.,-55c; lb., $7.00. 
WHITE PORTUGAL. (American Silverskin). This 
is the best sort to sow—for onion sets or for pick- 
ling; sown thickly for either it makes a small, 
round, hard bulb. Pkt., 10c; oz., 60c; lb., $7.00. 
AILSA CRAIG. A handsome globular variety, grow- 
ing to an enormous size, with pale yellow skin, 
flesh white, a good keeper and valuable for exhibi- 
tion purposes. Very fine for home gardens. Pkt., 
10c; 0z., 55c; lb., $6.00. 
LARGE RED WETHERSFIELD. We have a very fine 
and select strain of this sort. Color is deep pur- 
plish red, flesh white, moderately grained and very 
firm. Yields an enormous amount per acre, and 
is one of the best winter keeping onions. Pkt., 10c; 
0z., 60c; Ib., $6.50. 
YELLOW SWEET SPANISH. An increasingly popu- 
lar large yellow variety of Spanish origin, similar 
to Prizetaker, but larger. Globular, with golden 
yellow skin; flesh white, very mild, and of picasing 
. flavor. Prolific and desirable for shipping and fal 
storage. Oz., 75c; lb., $10.00. = 
Onion Sets 
BROWN BOTTOM SETS. Treated precisely as top 
onions are, setting them out in the spring instead 
of sowing seed. Qt., 30c; pk., $1.10. 
YELLOW BOTTOM SETS. Like the preceding except 
in color and used in the same manner. Qt., 30c; 
pk., $1.10. 
WHITE BOTTOM SETS. These do not keep as well 
as the brown and yellow, but produce heautiful 
white onions early in the season. Qt., 35c; pk., $1.30. 

PARSLEY 
Petersille (Ger.) Prezzemolo (It.) 
Culture. Sow seeds in shallow drills in the early spring 
for border, or in rows lz to 13 inches apart, care being 
taken that the drills be not more than one-half inch in 
depth, and that the seed be well pressed down after sowing, 
as the seed germinates very slowly, 3 to 5 weeks elapsing 
sometimes before it makes its appearance. Use one ounce 
to 150 feet of drill, three pounds to an acre. Cultivate 
frequently.

PEAS 
Your Own Peas Are Sweetest 
Erbsen (Ger.) Piselli (It.) 
For early peas the soil should be light and 
warm, but for general crop a moderately heavy 
soil is better. Fresh manure and very rich or 
wet mucky soil should be avoided, as they 
cause a rank growth of vine at the cost of the 
quality of the peas. Such soil is often the cause 
of early sorts maturing unevenly. Sow as early 
as possible a few of some early variety on 
warm, quick soil, prepared the fall before, plant- 
ing in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart and 2% 
to 4 feet between the double rows. 
EARLIEST OF ALL or ALASKA. Medium 
sized, bright green peas of good flavor. Vines 
medium height, 2% to 3 feet, and of distinc- 
tive light color. Pods about 2% to 2% inches 
long. Matures all the crop at once. Lb., 35c; 
2 lbs., 60c; 10 Ibs., $2.50. 
LAXTONIAN. A little earlier than other dwarf 
large-podded peas, this variety is generally 
considered the best of its class. The blue- 
green pods are often more than 4 inches long 
and contain 8 dark green peas of finest qual- 
ity. It is especially recommended for home 
garden use. The seeds are large, wrinkled; 
green and cream in color. Lb., 35c; 2 Ibs., 
60c; 10 Ibs., $2.50.
