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 mulch or other 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 Frizetaker 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. 



214. White Silver SKin Onion. This superior stock is almost exclusively used for grow- 

 ing sets, which is the strongest proof that it is the best from which to grow the large white 

 Onions. Its delicate, mild flavor, its stately form and large handsome size, its pure white 

 color, make it a most desirable variety for the table, the most profitable for market and 

 shipping. Plants are of an extremely thin neck and type, and sure to ripen 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, 

 and removes the necessity for peeling them. Pkt 5c and 10c. Oz. 15c. K Lb. 40c,
