Early Radish Onion
This is a small, white, flat onion, no larger than a turnip radish and so early that it matures the last in flavor that it is eaten raw with salt like a radish, and is a most wholesome and appetizing relish. When cooked it is also superb and leaves no odor whatever to the breath, and but very little when eaten raw. No onion can approach it in fine and delicate flavor, either raw or cooked. It has not a particle of toughness or coarseness. Raw, it is very crisp, tender and sweet, even surpassing in this respect the finest of radishes. The bulbs being so small, seed can be sown quite thick in drills, and they will produce a solid mat of bulbs, covering the ground in the row completely. Three weeks earlier than any other onion. Beautiful white skin; size, 1 to 1 ¼ inch in diameter, ¾ inch thick. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; lb., $2.50
