ductive. The bulbs are large, globular, glossy 
and of a light shade of yellow. Flesh is mild

preference for the white sorts, when cooked, 
this sort is a prime favorite. It yields abun- 
dant crops of handsome, globe shaped, white 
bulbs, hay:ny a firm, mild, fine grained flesh.

SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE, 115 Days 
—Again, we have in this yellow sort, the 
many excellent qualities of the Red South- 
port, except that the bulbs are a straw col- 
ored, rich yellow. Flesh is a creamy white, 
if anything, a little milder than the Red va- 
riety. '

the White varieties with clear, white skin, 
bulbs globular with small neck, white flesh, 
matures in 110 days, very attractive and a 
medium good keeper.

lar large Yellow variety is of Spanish origin,

dium dark flesh is thick and creamy white, 
mild and juicy, desirable both for shipping 
and fall storage as well as home use.

straw colored. In the South this onion has

large sized and of mild flavor. 
WHITE PORTUGAL or AMERICAN SIL. 
VERSKIN, 100 Days—Is a medium sized 
onion of mild flavor and with beautiful, clear, 
white skin. The variety is a favorite with 
many for use when young as a salad or bunch- 
ing onion and for pickling. It usually matures 
about ten days earlier than White Globe and 
is fine for fall and early winter use. The 
bulbs are nearly round when of bunching size, 
somewhat flattened when mature. 
YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS—tThe stand- 
ard variety for winter use in the eastern 
markets. It produces well-ripened bulbs, av- 
eraging 2 inches in diameter and nearly globe- 
shaped. The skin is a light golden brown or 
pale yellow, and the flesh is pure white, crisp, 
and mild in flavor. The plants have very slen- 
der necks, and consequently the bulbs keep 
well over winter. It is an enormous yielder, a 
crop of 600 to 800 bushels to the acre being 
not unusual. 
Other strains of Yellow Globe Danvers with 
varying characteristics as Brigham Yellow 
Globe, Ohio and Michigan Yellow Globe and 
Mountain Danvers, are available to the gar- 
dener and shipping trade.
