ONION SEED 



CULTIVATION.— TO GBOW I^ABGE OITIOirS FROM SEED.— 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. 



Y'EI.IiO'W GIiOBE DANVERS. — A very handsome, round, yellow onion; a large 

 yielder and splendid keeper; the preferred sort with market gardeners and large 

 growers all over the country. We unhesitatingly recommend it for growing 

 either sets or large onions. 



PRIZE TAKER. — This is a large, beautiful onion, rich straw color, and Is of 



enormous size. The flavor is mild and delicate. 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. 



WHITE SnVERSEIIT or FOBTTTGAI^. — A good variety for family use, skin 

 and flesh pure white, mild flavor and flat shape. The best white onion to grow 

 largely for sets. 



AITSTRAI^IAN' BROWN. — A Valuable I^ong-Eeeplng Onion. — The outside skin 

 is of a deep amber brown, distinct from all other onions, extremely hard and 

 firm, of fine flavor. 



WETHERSPIELD IiARGE RED. — Well-known and favorite sort. A large 

 yielder and good keeper. 



yEIiIiOW DUTCH, or STRASBURG-. — The most popular and best variety for 

 set purposes. Is similar to the Yellow Danvers. Flat in shape, color and size. 



TEKIaOW GIiOBE DANVERS ONION but as a set onion it has the quality of ripening down earlier and more uniformly. 



ONION SETS 



CVI.TIVATION OF ONION SETS 



Have a clean and very rich soil, which should be thoroughly 

 cultivated, or it will not do well enough to pay for the trouble. 

 Disturb the roots of the onion as little as possible, either in 

 thinning or hoeing, and never hoe earth toward them to cover 

 or hill, as we do most other things.

 10 to 15-bnsliel sets to plant one acre.

 soil, and plant when the ground

 apart in the row. As the seeds

 they should be sown thickly. The 

 pods are used to thicken soup, 

 being gathered when young. II

 vegetables in use.
