86 THE NEW ONION CULTURE 



ripen they will get as big around as a silver dollar. 

 We bunch all for New York market. In 1901 we 

 sowed two other varieties with them on same day and 

 on same ground. All came up well. The Hardy White 

 stood the winter well. The others died off. This 

 year we have three other sorts side by side with the 

 Hardy White. The seed seems to be rather delicate 

 of germination. This is the third or fourth year we 

 sowed this Hardy White onion. This season we have 

 sowed twenty-five or thirty pounds. They are a good 

 flavored, nice bunching onion."
