THE ONIONS 
385 IMPROVED SWEET SPANISH—A mild, sweet variety, 
wonderful for slicing and salads, always crisp and juicy, and 
of course it is just as fine for cooking. Light yellow skin and

is quite a good keeper for an onion of the Spanish type.

tures nicely in Massachusetts and Iowa. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 50c; 
oz. 95c; % Ib. $2.80.

onions (scallions). It makes no bulb, but instead grows as a

ing flavor. Sow in spring for green onions in autumn. Any 
not used then will live over winter, and be ready to pull 
early next spring. Pkt. 15c; 4% oz. 50c; oz. 90c; %4 Ib. $2.60.
