White Silver Skin. 



American Grown 



Superior Onion Seed. 



1 oz. to 100 feet drill; 4 to 5 lbs. to acre. 



The Onion must have a clean and 

 very rich soil. Use well-rotted ma- 

 nure freely, and get the seed in as 

 early as possible in the Spring no 

 matter it 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 re- 

 main pretty thick, no matter if they 

 crowd each other. In hoeing to de- 

 stroy weeds and keep the ground 

 mellow, do not cover the young 

 bulbs with earth. It is useless to try 

 to grow Onions on a poor, unsuita- 

 ble soil. Three days of neglect when 

 the weeds are growing rapidly will 

 sometimes ruin a crop, and a week 

 too late in sowing makes the ditler- 

 ence between a good and a bad har- 

 vest. With proper manu ring. Onions 

 can be grown on the same land for 

 a score of years, and it will become 

 cleaner and better every year. 



^ P r i z e-T a k e r . — The 



American-grown Prize-Taker 

 seed we offer produces large 

 well ripened bulbs the first sea- 

 son from seed ; flesh white ; 

 crisp, and mild in flavor. The 

 skin is thin ; of a bright straw- 

 yellow ; form nearly a perfect 

 globe. Under ordinary cultiva- 

 tion llns variety will yield bulbs nearly three times 

 as large as the Globe Danvers, while under special 

 culti\atiou specimen bulbs have been raised to 

 \seigh from four to five and a half pounds each. 

 'I liese are the large mild Onions which are sold in 

 small crates in the early Fall 

 and are esteemed for their 

 large size, handsome appear- 

 ance, mild and delicate flavor. 

 While the bulbs of this variety 

 bottom well and ripen up quite 

 firm and hard, they do not 

 keep well after very cold 

 weather sets in, owing to the 

 tender character of the flesh, 

 and we would advise market- 

 ing the Onions in the Fall or 

 as soon after ripening as pos- 

 sible. Sow thinly in drills one 

 foot apart, and about one- 

 fourth inch deep. Oz., 15c.; 

 \ lb., 30c.; lb., $1.00.
