ONIONS 
To grow large bulbs 1 ounce to 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds to the acre. 
To grow sets 10 ounces to 100 feet of drill; 50 pounds to the acre. 
The Onion must have a clean and very rich soil. Use well rotted 
manure freely, and get the seed in as early as possible in the spring, no 
matter if it is cold and unpleasant. If onions do not get a good growth 
before hot, dry weather, the crop is sure to be a failure. Keep the soil 
mellow and clear of weeds. Sow in shallow drills, not less than a foot 
apart nor more than half an inch deep. As onions grow on top of the 
ground, they may be allowed to remain pretty thick, no matter if they 
crowd each other. In hoeing, destroy weeds and keep the ground mellow: 
do not cover the young bulbs with earth. 
Early Yellow Globe Matures medium large uniform globe-shaped 
bulbs in about 98 days from time of sowing. 
Keeps exceptionally well. 
White Silver Skin, or Portugal This is the most popular 
variety o all white 
Onions; is almost exclusively used for growing sets. It is a good keeper. 
The bulbs grow to good size, ripening early and quite evenly. The flesh 
is mild and sweet, the thin skin a clear silvery white, of handsome appear- 
ance if the bulbs are gathered as soon as ripened and carefully dried 
under shelter away from the strong sunlight. When seed is sown at the 
rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre, it makes bulbs of suitable size and most 
desirable for pickling. 
White Pearl Very fine 
White Silver Skin Onion planted for sets. 
Southport White Globe Pure white, true globe form with very 
crisp flesh, exceedingly mild and fine 
grained, usually commands highest prices. 
One of the best for the production of large onions for Fall 
Japanese and Winter market, yielding almost twice as many bushels per 
acre than any other set onion. Somewhat similar to Flat Danvers in color 
and shape but a trifle thicker and very much larger in circumference. They 
are very mild, excellent keepers, rapid growers and very few go to seed. 
The appearance, size, quality and wonderful yields of this variety give it a 
prominent place among the most valuable sorts.
