WHITE GLOBE.--One of the handsomest onions grown, beautiful in
shape and color, having a clear, white skin; the flesh is fine grained,
of mild flavor, and the bulbs are of good keeping quality.
WHITE SILVERSKIN, OR WHITE PORTUGAL.--This is an old and
favorite variety, being very desirable for planting in the family
garden; the flavor is the mildest of the American varieties; the small
onions are very fine for pickling. I think this variety should be
marketed as early as possible, as with me it is not a good keeper.[6]
