The Red Sorts Comparatively speaking, the latest to mature, the strongest in flavor, but al 580 Large Red Wethersfleld. A standard variety in many 582 localities, especially in the Middle West and the South, and does very well in all sections. It grows to full size within 100 days from seed and is very dependable on many soils and in diiierent seasons and is the variety principally grown tor Red Sets.

The largest of the foreign varieties, speci- mens having been grown to weigh as heavy as three pounds. Produces large bulbs within 120 days from seeds. Flat in shape and both skin and flesh are pure white, mild and v/ell flavored. Pkt., 10 cts.; i oz., 25 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; lib., $; lb., $ 584 Southport White Globe. On ac- count of its uniform globe shape this variety is highly prized, particularly for the home garden, where quality as well as appearance are desired. The bulbs are pure white and of very mild flavor, also equally as good for keeping as the Yellow Globe. It is good for use as a medium crop, but most valuable when grown for the main crop, as the flesh is remarkably firm and solid. It is an enormous yielder, and as it is very attractive, always sells at high prices. It is best to dry these onions in a shady place, and give them plenty of air. Pkt., 15 cts.; J oz., 25 cts.; oz., 45 cts.; i lb., $; lb., $ 590 White Portugal, or Silver Skin. (See Specialties, page 7.) Pkt
