Text Appearing Before Image:
VEGETABLE SEEDS. 19 stands at the very Tip Top for quality. Very good specimens are occasionally found among the well- known yellow-fleshed kinds, but the universal testi- mony of every one using the Tip Top is, that every fruit produced, whether big or little, early or late in the season, is a good one—sweet, juicy, finest flavor, firm, but not hard fleshed, eatable to the very outside coating. Again, in productiveness it is unexcelled, being a very strong grower. In the past almost uni- versally dry season they have done better than any standard sort in cultivation. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 3^ lb. 25c, lb. 75c. Emerald Gem. A very early variety of rich, deli- cious flavor and fine quality. Skin ribbed, yet smooth, emerald green with a few lighter colored stripes. Flesh very thick, of a delicate light salmon color. Pkt. 5c, oz. ioc, 3^ lb. 20c, lb. 60c. ONION.
Text Appearing After Image:
A strong, deep, rich and loamy soil is most suitable for this crop. Muck- beds well drained to the depth of two feet give large yields. The ground should be heavily dressed with well- ...^ . rotted manure, and plowed a moderate depth, taking a narrow furrow in order to more thoroughly mix the manure with the soil; if possible the ^£ plowing should be done in the Fall. As early in Spring as the ground is in working order, harrow it thor- oughly and make as fine and level as pos- sible ; sow thinly in drills one-fourth inch deep and fourteen ins. apart. Keep the sur- face of the ground open and free from weeds, but do not ridge up to the growing bulbs. One oz. will sow one hundred feet of drill. 4 to 5 lbs. per acre. Market gardeners and others requiring Onion seed in large quantities should write for special prices. SouthpOPt White Globe. A large globe-shaped onion, firm, fine grained, of mild flavor ; keeps well. This is one of the handsomest onions grown, of beautiful shape, clear, white skin, and commands the highest market price. Pkt. 5c, oz. 25c, % lb. 75c, lb. $2.25. White Silverskin, for Pickling. This is of small size, silvery white, and used almost entirely for pickling on account of its small size, handsome appearance and mild flavor. Pkt. 5c, oz. 25c, % lb. 65c, lb. $2.00. Large Red Wethersfield. This is the standard variety and favorite onion in the East, where im- mense crops are grown for shipment. Large size ; deep purplish red; form round ; flesh purplish white, moderately fine grained, and stronger flavored than any of the other kinds. Very productive. Pkt. 5c, oz. 25c, 3^ lb. 70c, lb. $1.75. By express, 5 lbs. or over, at $1.50 per lb. Large Red Globe. This is a very handsome variety, and deserving of general cultivation. It matures quite early (none of the perfectly globe- shaped onions are as early as the flat varieties), grows to a large size; skin deep red; flesh fine Pkt. 5c, oz. 25c. lb. grained, mild and tender. 70c, lb. $2.00. Prize Taker. Enormous size, averaging 12 to 14 inches in circumference. Although of great size, it is very hardy and a very fair keeper. The out- side skin is of a rich yellow color, while the flesh is white, sweet and tender. They bottom well, are free from stiff-necks. It is very productive. In market it attracts marked attention, and sells readily double the prices of other sorts. Pkt. 5c, lb, 60c. $1.75.
