Early Flat Red
One of the very earliest; hardy and reliable. A capital sort for the extreme north where other sorts are too late to ripen well. In quality none is better.

Early Red Globe Danvers
There are several kinds of Early Red Globe Onion seed before the public, but in my trial grounds I have found no one of them equal in bottoming, earliness and for cropping qualities to my Early Red Globe Danvers. This onion is not as well known as it ought to be; ripens two or three weeks earlier than Red Wethersfield. Scullions are almost unknown when grown from carefully selected seed stock, it being as reliable for bottoming well as Winnigstadt Cabbage is to make a head.

Southport Late Red Globe
Very popular in the markets of New York. It measures better and sells at a higher price than Red Wethersfield. It is quite late, and I do not recommend it for farmers who live north of southern Connecticut.

Teneriffe, or Early Bermuda
This is decidedly the earliest of all onions. It can be raised to eating size from seed, though it grows larger from sets. Seed and sets are especially adapted for autumn sowing in the South, while heavy manuring would be likely to give it good market size and make it the early onion in the North. Pkt., 10c

White Globe
As white and handsome as a newly made snow-ball; sells at a higher price than other sorts. Too late to grow north of southern Connecticut. Should be dried in an airy and shady place.
