There is no vegetable in which the quality of the seed exerts a greater influence upon the crop than 
in onions. -Our stock is all grown from choice bulbs, selected by hand, and is unsurpassed in this 
country. During our whole business career ag seedsmen, it has always been our aim to make quality a 
first consideration, price afterwards, and in no one crop have we met with greater reward than in 
onions. 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill. To grow large onions from seed, 5 pounds to the acre; to grow 
small sets, 50 to 60 pounds to the acre are required. For full information for culture, storage and mar- 
keting onions and onion sets, see our New Leaflet=Essays on this subject, which will be sent free with 
all orders for onion seed, when requested.
