IMPORTED ONIONS 
These sorts are particularly adapted to southern lati- 
tudes where they are sown in the fall or early spring. The 
best results are obtained by sowing in beds or boxes and 
transplanting. 
An extremely early ma- 
Extra Early Barletta turing pani very white 
with silvery tinge and particularly desirable for pickling. ~ 
The bulbs are very smalland quite similar to Queen. If 
seed is sown out of dvors in spring in the usual manner 
and plants thinned about two inches apart they will 
produce bulbs one to two inches in diameter. If these 
bulbs are set out the following spring, or if plants 
are grown under glass in winter and set out in the 
spring, they will produce large onions. This variety and 
Queen are the ones most generally used in this country 
for producing the small pickling bulbs. For this pur- 
pose if the seed has been sown eight to ten seeds to the 
inch of drill, no thinning will be required. Growers 
usually plant the seed thickly in drills fifteen inches 
apart and use forty to fifty poundstoanacre. Pkt. 10c;
