A good keeper, and especially valuable for red sets. Silver Skin, White Portugal, Philadelphia White.— Largely grown for pickling and for white sets. Of mild pleasant flavor, and decidedly handsome appearance. Maule's Prizetaker.—This I consider the finest of all onions with which I am acquainted. I have grown almost every variety listed by seedsmen; but have never found one as large in size nor as handsome in shape and general appearance. This variety looks for all the world like the imported Spanish onion, which is sold in our fruit stores at five cents or more per pound. White Barletta.—The earliest and smallest onion; excel- lent for pickles. New Queen.—Another small, handsome early pickling onion, good keeper. White. Silver King, Mammoth Silver King.—Introduced as the largest of all onions. Skin silvery-white, flesh remarkably sweet and tender. Giant Rocca of Naples, Giant Pompeii, Mammoth Red Tripoli, Giant White Tripoli, etc., etc.—All these are Italian varieties of quick growth, large size, remarkably mild flavor, but not long keepers. Potato Onions.—These produce no seed, and are always grown from the bulbs, which when planted, increase in size, and also produce a cluster of bulbs around the one planted. I have had excellent success with it in New Jersey, and seen it do well in southern Pennsylvania and sections south of these localities. Profitable for market, and entirely reliable. Egyptian Perennial Tree Onion.—This is probably grown more for its tops, to be used during winter for soups, etc., than for its bulbs. It is entirely hardy, and after once planted, can be had from the garden almost the entire year. I do not value it very highly. PARSLEY.
