ties most in demand were developed in 

 comparatively high latitudes in Europe 

 and America, where the short summer is 

 followed by a long, cold, resting season, 

 thus inducing the plant to form a capa- 

 cious and shapely bulb for the storage of 

 the energy needed to start effective 



frowth during the cool weather of the 

 oUowing spring. Deprive the onion 

 plant of its accustomed climatic changes, 

 and deterioration, from the gardener's 

 view, soon becomes apparent, and will 

 naturally progress at an increasing rate. 

 The large, watery onions of the Prize- 

 taker or Mediterranean group were bred 

 in a milder climate, where the seasonal 

 changes are less sharply defined. Their 

 resting season is short, greafly lessening 

 their keeping quality. The best seeds of 

 the Mediterranean varieties are now 

 grown in Teneriffe, off the coast of Af- 

 rica, and they may be expected to suc- 

 ceed as well under . California condi- 

 tions. " ■ ■ ■-.
