THE GREAT MONEY MAKING 



A RICH GOLDEN YELLOW. QUALITY SIMPLY SUPERB 



Qro\vn toj- 100,000 planters in 1905 and all of them more than delighted. 



Culture— Any good Corn land will grow a good crop of Onions, 

 but on stiff clay, very light sand or gravel, or certain muck and swamp 

 lands, they grow necky and do not ripen down well. I prefer rich sandy 

 loam with light mixture of clay. If kept clear of weeds and well ma- 

 nured for two years previous to using for Onions, best results will be 

 obtained. Sow as soon in Spring as ground can be got ready. Use a 

 hand seed drill, which test carefully. Four to six pounds per acre for 

 large Onions, twenty to fifty pounds per acre for pickling and set Onions. 

 Roll ground well with hand roller if your drill has none attached. Give 

 Onions the first hoeing as soon as they can be seen the length of the row, 

 and in hoeing just skim the surface of the ground. Hoe again in a few 

 days, this time to close up the plants, after which weeding must be con- 

 tinued. To do this, work on the knees astride the row, stirring the earth 

 around the plants to destroy weeds just starting. In ten days or two 

 weeks anofher hoeing will be required. Do the work thoroughly at the 

 proper time, and the crop will need no further care.

\/ EXTRA EARLY RED 



A favorite early variety of fine shape, 

 nificent keeper. It is of the 

 most excellent quality — with 

 the exception perhaps, of my 

 celebrated Red Wethersfield, 

 there is no red Onion that 

 realizes such large prices in 

 market. Its beautiful shape 

 and rich purplish-crimson 

 color make it extremely at- 

 tractive an ddesirable for all 

 • general purposes. Money in

EXTRA EARLY RED 



AUSTRALIAN BROWN 



'AUSTRALIAN BROWN 



Most Valuable of All Recent Intro- 

 ductions 



Of medium size, wonderfully hard and 

 solid, and most attractive for market, 

 both as to form and appearance. They 

 are extremely early in ripening, and 

 never make any stiff-necks or scallions. 

 Every seed seems to produce a good- 

 sized Onion, and the bulb begins to form 

 very quickly — when the plant is not 

 over threj^mches high. The Coming 1 

 OniontVEXTRA EARLY; LONG KEEPING. Planted at the same time as Red Wethers- 

 field it proved to £>e nearly four weeks earlier and ripened off more uniformly. From its 'firm- 

 ness and hardness it will keep in good condition longer than any other Onion known. The 

 color of the skin is cleai amber brown. So widely contrasted from any other Onion is this 

 color that it will be noticed ori market, and when once bought purchasers will most likely call 

 again for "those beautiful brown Onions."
