from Seed 
Evergreen White Bunching (Nebuka) (Allium fistulosum). Produces 
4-9 shoots in a cluster. The shoots are white for the first six inches 
and from 142-4 inch in diameter. Hardy, long-standing and of a 
mild flavor. An excellent bunching variety. 
White Welsh Bunching (Allium fistulosum). Produces several shoots 
on the one plant, does not produce a bulb. Shoots are broader 
than the Nebuka and a little more pungent. 
White Colonial. Can be best described as an early form of White 
Sweet Spanish type. Also makes a delicious white bunching Onion 
of a pleasant flavor. 100 
White Pearl (Barletta). The smallest of the white pickling Onions. 
Clear shining white and pleasant mild flavor. 90 
White Queen. A little larger and flatter than Barletta. One of the best 
of the small white pickling Onions, silver white skin and clear 
white flesh. Mild. 95 
White Portugal. (See above.) Often used both for bunching and pick- 
ling. Firmer flesh and more pungent flavor than Queen or Barletta 
and very good where a larger pickling Onion is desired.

tufts of moss. Useful for garnishing and flavoring. Plant very 
decorative in the garden, very productive. 15 
Paramount. Wonderfully uniform plant, large and about 1 ft. tall. 
Is triple curled, exceptionally fine dark green. Stout stems make 
it useful for bunching. 85

A somewhat pleasing flavor, especially adapted for flavoring and 
seasoning. 72 
Hamburg Turnip-rooted Long (P. Hortense var radicosum). Roots are 
like a small slender Parsnip, little rooty, 8 to 10 inches long. Can 
be stored for winter use, delicate Parsley flavor. Used for flavor- 
ing soups and is a very acceptable vegetable when served alone. 90 
Hamburg Turnip-rooted Short. Root is both shorter and thicker than 
the Long, otherwise similar. 90
