Culture. For early green or bunching Onions sow seed of Silver Skin or other hardy 

 white varieties in early August in well prepared and well drained rich, loamy soil, giving 

 one foot space between the rows, and using 20 pounds of seed per acre. In many localities 

 they winter well without much protection. For dry (fall) bulbs, select a clean, 

 rich, well drained and well manured piece of land: prepare a perfect seed bed, and sow seed 

 in early spring in drills 15 inches or so apart, using 4 to 5 pounds of seed per acre. Use 

 wheel-hoe and weeders freely and thin plants to stand at least 2 inches apart in the rows. 

 Pull when tops begin to die down, cure and sell, or store in a cool dry place. For sets, select 

 clean sandy soil of medium fertility, prepare it well in early spring, and at once sow seed 

 in drills a foot apart, using 40 to 60 pounds of seed per acre. Gather the sets when ripe, 

 cure and store in a dry, airy place. They may be wintered in a slightly frozen condition, 

 but must be protected from repeated freezing and thawing. In early spring following, plant 

 them in shallow drills, 12 inches apart, and about 2 inches apart in the drill. 



By sowing seed of the Spanish type, such as the Prizetaker and Southport Globes, under 

 glass in January, February, or even March, and transplanting in April to open ground 3 to 

 4 inches apart in the rows, bulbs of immense size may be produced.

 and shipping. Plants are of an extremely thin neck and type, and sure to rii>en early. 

 Bulbs are perfect in form and quite thick through. They are fine grained, crisp and mild. 

 Bulbs should be harvested as soon as ripened and dried in the shade to preserve their silvery 

 white skin, the attractiveness of which makes them command the highest market prices,
