Buckbee's "Full o f Life " ONION SEEDS 



ONIONS FEOM SEED AND ONION SETS. This pa^e is devoted to the culture aud description of Onion Seed and Onion Sets 

 as they pertain to the Southern planter more so itian to the Northern grower, who on account of climatic conditions must give 

 his attention to Onion raising in the early Spring of the year. 



LARGE ONIONS FROM SEED 



Sow in seed-beds in Aiiprust ami September aud \\ lien tlic sets are the size of a goose- 

 (luill transplant to rows twelve inelies ajiart and tour to six inches between the sets. Of 

 l Oiirse, the seed can be sown in drills aud thinned out, but you will have larger Onions 

 and a far better yield if transplanted. Tliere is no crop in which a liberal use of niannre 

 is more essential tlian in this and it should be of the best quality, and where a sufficient 

 quantity of this is UDavailab'.c a thousand'ponndsof hia;h grade commercial fertilizer can be 

 used to Mie acre with profit. A dressiug of Nitrate of Soda when the plants begin to bulb 

 is of great benefit.
