Italian O^ion^ During the past few years Italian Onions have come into favor with astonishing rapidity. Where a few years ago they were grown only as fancy garden crops, they are now plant- ed extensively for market, and they are, too, a profitable crop. They are of rapid growth and attain a very large size in a wonderfully short time. They are not only large but very uniform, perfect in shape and exceedingly handsome in appearance. In quality they are acknowledged on ail sides to be the best, haying an exceedingly mild, delicate and pleasant flavor. For eating raw, they are, of course, great y superior to other Onions, owing to the mildness of their flavor These Onions do best in a rich or sandy soil, in a warm and, if possible, sheltered situation. Mammoth Silver King—A superb Onion, that sometimes grows to weigh two to four pounds. Silver-skinned, white fleshed, very mild and tender--so mild, sweet and tender that it can be eaten raw like an apple. .It has an average diameter of five to seven inches, making a cir- cumference of 15 to 20 inches. It is probably the most popular Italian Onion known to cultivation. A grand seller in all markets. Pkt., 10c ; oz., 20c.: lb., $2-25. Prize Taker—i verv large yellow Globe Onion, very hand- some,fine flavor and a grand sort for market- Immensely productive, producing TOO bushels to the acre, and is claimed by the introducer fo be the largest, handsomest, finest flavored vellow Globe Onion ever introduced. It is a good keeper.' Pkt., 10c ; oz., 20c : lb., $2.00. Mammoth. Pompeii—A most remarkable Onion on account of its enormous size and fine quality. Bulbs often grow to the weight of four or Ave pounds, with a yery thin and delicate «kin,which is of a handsome reddish or reddisli- browu color. Notwithstanding its great size it is ex- ceedingly mild and fine grained. Extra flue; easy cul- ture ; good keeper. Pkt., ioc: oz., 20c; lb-, S2.C0. Guilds' Winter or Perpetual In this we have an Onion different from those raised -from *eeds or sets, or from the Top Onion. Potato Onion, m the fact that when once set out, without the slightest pro- tection, it will come up year after year as soon as the frost breaks the ground, and grow so rapidly that it is ready tor market or home use two or three weeks before any of them. It is usually ready for the table early in May. It.^unsurpass- ed for sweetness and tenderness. It is perfectly hardy in all lections of the North. Differs widely from all other forms -of Top Potato Onions, and should have a place in every home garden- Pint, 20c : quart, 30c ; peck, $2.00 prepaid,
