ONION SEED 



CULTIVATION 



They can 



TO GROW LARGE ONIONS FROM SEES. — The seed should be sown as early as possible in the 



spring, as they grow much better during the cool weather, and should make most of their growth 

 before the hot weather sets in. Sow 5 pounds of seed to the acre for large onions. 



THE NEW ONION CULTURE. — Sow the seed in hotbed and transplant early as possible to open ground 

 be grown very successfully by this plan. 



WHITE SILVERSKIN or PORTUGAL. — A 



good variety for family use, skin and fesh 

 pure white, mild flavor and flat shape. The 

 best white onion to grow largely for sets. 



WHITE PEARL ONION Earliest of all, 



growing with all the rapidity of a summer 

 radish. Pearly white, waxy and transparent. 

 Form flat and broad, flavor very mild, and it 

 can be eaten raw almost like an apple. On 

 rich soil it will grow very large. This is an 

 elegant sort to sow for large onions, be- 

 cause of its rapid growth and fine quality. 



AUSTRALIAN BROWN. — A Valuable Long- 

 Keep ing- Onion. — This new onion, introduced 

 into the United States a few years since, has 

 met with wonderful success, and is pronounced 

 the best keeper of all onions. The outside 

 skin is of a deep amber brown, distinct from 

 all other onions, extremely hard and firm, of 

 fine flavor, and will keep almost indefinitely. 

 Australian Brown is the only onion Australian 

 growers will plant 



WETHERSFIELD LARGE REE. — Well- 

 known and favorite sort. A large yielder and 

 good keeper. 



YELLOW DUTCH, or STRASBURG. — The 



most popular and best variety for set pur- 

 poses. Is similar to the Yellow Danvers. Flat 

 in shape, color and size, but as a set onion it 

 has the quality of ripening down earlier and 

 more uniformly. 



YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS.— A very hand- 

 some, round, yellow onion: a large yielder and 

 splendid keeper; the preferred sort with mar- 

 ket gardeners and large growers all over the 

 country. We unhesitatingly 'recommend it for 

 growing either sets or large onions, 



PRIZE TAKER. — This is the large, beauti- 

 ful onion that is seen every fall offered for 

 sale at the fruit stores in Baltimore and other 

 large cities. It has a rich straw color, and 

 is of enormous size. Although of such large 

 size, it is very hardy and an excellent keeper. 

 The flavor is mild and delicate, making the 

 Prize-taker a favorite variety for salads. By 

 sowing this sort early you can raise a large 

 crop of large onions the first season with very 

 little trouble. All that is necessary is good 

 ground, proper cultivation, and not to have 

 them too thick. Those of our growers who 

 have tried this variety have had remarkably 

 fine success.
