Maule's Select Onion Seeds 



From the earliest times to the present day, Onions have been used as an article of food, and are, perhaps, more 

 universally grown than any other vegetable. Our select strains are annually used by many of the largest onion 

 growers, for whom they have yielded highly satisfactory returns and proved a big money making crop. 



CULiTDTRE. — OnlOQS do best on a rich loam, previously cultivated for 

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

 Bhould 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 aboutSO feet of drill, an ounce 

 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. Six 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 from 60 to 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.
