ONION 
Sow 3 pounds in seed-bed to plant an acre, 
or plant 5 pounds per acre in field 
Seed supply of all varieties extremely short. Due to present 
uncertain conditions, all prices quoted are subject to 
change without notice. 
Cuvrure. 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 18 
inches apart, and when 4 to 5 inches high they are thinned 
out to 2 to 3 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 more popular 
in Florida. Transplanting generally produces less splits 
and more first grade onions. 
Prices quoted are postpaid.

Early Grano or Earliest Express (New) 
EARLY GRANO OR EARLIEST EXPRESS. (New.) (88 days.) 
This new onion is much earlier than the Sweet Spanish, which 
it somewhat resembles in shape color and quality. It matures 
even earlier than the Bermudas. Bulbs are of light brown 
or cream color, globe or mostly top-shaped, slightly taper- 
ing toward the root, of large size, with pure white flesh. Ex- 
ceedingly mild in flavor with a very sweet taste. Quite re- 
sistant to thrips. This is the earliest maturing onion for 
Florida and the South, and is more resistant to bolting or 
premature seeding and splitting than other varieties. In our 
trials, this variety shows more promise as one especially 
suited to Florida growing conditions than does any other 
variety. Seed supply extremely limited. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 55c; % Ib. $1.75; 1 Ib. $6.50. 
LARGE YELLOW SWEET SPANISH. (110 days.) 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 globular in shape, light 
glossy yellow in color, and are exceedingly attractive in ap- 
pearance. The bulbs are very mild and sweet, and are of 
exceptionally fine quality. This strain is particularly well 
adapted to Florida sandy loam soils, but is not recommended 
for muck. Later in maturing than Bermudas. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 55c; 1% Ib. $1.65; 1 Ib. $6.00. 
YELLOW BERMUDA. (Imported; Teneriffe, Canary Islands 
Grown.) (95 days.) We have a superior strain of this stand- 
ard 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. 55c; % Ib. $1.65; 1 Ib. $6.00. 
CRYSTAL WAX BERMUDA. (Imported; Teneriffe, Canary 
Islands Grown.) (95 days.) Early maturing, flat in shape, 
of beautiful waxy white color, exceedingly attractive in 
appearance. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 55c; 1% Ib. $1.65; 1 Ib. $6.00. 
RED BERMUDA. (Imported; Canary Islands Grown). (98 
days.) This variety stands the high temperature and hu- 
midity conditions 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. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 55c; 1% Ib. $1.65; 1 Ib. $6.00. 
LOUISIANA RED CREOLE. (115 days.) 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. Grows slowly and is late 
in maturity. Seed supply extremely limited. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 55c; 1% Ib. $1.65; 1 Ib. $6.00. 
AUSTRALIAN BROWN. (100 days.) Bulbs are of medium 
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. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 55c; 1% Ib. $1.65; 1 Ib. $6.00. 
KILGORE’S LONG WHITE BUNCHING. (60 days for green 
onions.) A bulbless bunching variety. Grown for its very 
long stem, nearly twice as long as ordinary bunching onions, 
pure white in color, and without the slightest trace of a bulb. 
These onions grow in clusters, three to five onions being on 
one plant. Very tender and of delicate flavor, Resistant to 
thrips, pink-root, and smut. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 55c; %4 Ib. $1.75; 1 Ib. $6.50.

or decorate salads or cooked vegetables.

seed in Florida from September to December, in rows 112 to 
2 feet apart; cover with one-half inch of soil. When plants 
are well up, thin to 4 inches apart in the row. Parsnip seed 
germinates very slowly. The Parsnip is a winter vegetable. 
It has more starch and sugar than other root crops. To 
prepare, cook roots one hour in water, scrape off the skin. 
Slice or chop coarsely or mash, and season with milk, pepper 
and salt. Slices may be fried after seasoning. Makes a de-
