standard varieties and is used either for pro- 
ducing large onions the same season or for

Southport Red Globe Onion 
Bermuda Onion Seed Genuine Teneriffe Grown 
CRYSTAL WHITE WAX 
95 Days—This variety is very popular in the 
South, especially with the onion growers of 
Texas for shipping to Northern markets. An 
absolutely pure white onion of a beautiful 
waxy appearance, the sweetest and mildest of 
all the Bermuda Onions. It is not a keeping 
variety, but is early and in great demand for 
immediate use. Bulbs very flat, medium sized, 
with thin skin. It is very fine for slicing, the 
color being so clear and pure. 
YELLOW BERMUDA 
95 Days—Before the introduction of the Crys 
tal White Wax this variety was called White 
Bermuda. In appearance it is really a light 
straw color or pale yellow. The plants are ex- 
tremely thin-necked, insuring even and early 
ripening. A very profitable sort for market 
gardeners and shippers. The sweetest and 
mildest of all onions. Bulbs flat, medium 
sized; flesh nearly white and coarse. 
RED BERMUDA 
95 Days—This is the most popular va- 
riety for home and market use, a well- 
known standard for early shipping. The 
skin is waxy, loose and rubs off easily. Bulbs 
flat, medium-sized, solid, not a definite red, 
but a purplish red. Flesh pinkish white, mild 
and sweet.
