CULTIVATION. 



TO GROW LARGE 

 ONIONS 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. 



THE NEW ONION 

 CULTURE. 



Sow the seed in hot- 

 b e d , and transplant 

 early as possible to 

 open ground. They can 

 be grown very success- 

 fully by this plan.

PRIZETAKER ONION. 



OK R A 



OR GUMBO. 



SELECT warm lo- 

 lation and rich 

 soil, and plant 

 when the ground 

 becomes warm, in 

 rows three feet 

 apart, thinning 

 plants a foot apart 

 in the row. As the 

 seeds are liable to 

 rot in cool weather, 

 they should be sown 

 thickly. The pods 

 are used to thicken 

 soup, being gathered 

 when young. It is 

 one of the most 

 wholesome v egeta- 

 bles in use.

CULTIVATION FOR 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. The 

 most successful growers work 

 their ground several times in 

 the fall to kill out the weeds 

 and get ground in nice condi- 

 tion. Use well-rotted manure- 

 freely, and be sure to get the 

 seeds in as early as possible 

 in the spring, no matter if it 

 is ever so cold or unpleasant," 

 and keep the soil mellow and 

 clear of weeds, and if seed is 

 good you will have a large 

 crop of Onion Sets. On no 

 other condition can you hope 

 for success. Disturb the roots 

 of the Onion as little as pos- 

 sible, either in thinning or 

 hoeing, and never hoe earth 

 toward them to cover or hill, 

 as we do most other things. 



Sow the seed in drills about 

 12 inches apart. It will re- 

 quire from 40 to 60 pounds tor 

 sow an acre. 



PRIZETAKER. 



American Grown. 



THIS is the large, beautiful Onion 

 that is seen every fall offered for 

 sale at the fruit stores in Balti- 

 more 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 

 Trizetaker 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 cul- 

 tivation, and not to have them too thick. 

 Those of our growers who have tried this 

 variety have had remarkably fine success.
