Maule's Select Onion 5eeds 



Culture. — Onions do best on a rich loam, previously cultivated for 

 two years. Stiff clay and light sand are equally unfavorable. The land 

 should be highly fertilized with well-rotted manure, complete fertiliz- 

 ers, etc. Fresh stable manure has a tendency to produce soft onions. 

 For dry (fall) onions a* packet will sow about -50 feet of drill, an onnce 

 about 300 feet, 4 to .5 lbs. of seed per acre. Sow in drills 12 to 18 inches 

 apart as early in spring as possible and cover one-half inch deep. When 

 large enough thin to 3 Inches apart. If sets are wanted, sow seed thickly 



and don't thin out; use 60 to 80 lbs. of seed per acre. Eight to ten bushels 

 of sets will plant an acre. Fine marketable size onions (according to 

 variety planted) are easily produced the first year from early spring 

 sown seed, maturing in fi om dO lo 120 days. Culture should be frequent 

 though shallow. The same ground may be used for onions, season after 

 season, if well fertilized annually. Bone meal is an excellent fertilizer. 

 Winter storage demands dryness and protection from sudden changes. 

 Onions should never be handled while frozen. 



Customers may order half pounds at the pound rate, 2 pounds or over at the 5 pound rate.
