ONION SEED 



CULTIVATION 



TO GROW LAR&B 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 mobi ui liibii giowui 



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



grown very successfully by this plan. 



WHITE SILVERSKIN, or PORTUGAL. — 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. Pkts., 5c. and 10c. Oz., 20c. *4 lb., 40c. Lb., $1.50. 



WHITE PEARL ONION. — Earliest of all, growing with all the rapidity 

 of a summer radish. Fearly white, waxy and transparent. Form flat and 

 broad, flavor very mild, and it can bo eaten raw almost like an apple. On 

 rich soil it will grow very large. This is an elegant sort to sow for large 

 onions, because of its rapid growth and fine quality. Pkts., 5c. Oz., 20c. 

 % lb., 40c. Lb., $1.40. 



AUSTRALIAN BROWN — A Valuable Long--Keeping 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 onlv onion Australian growers will plant. Pkts., 

 5c. and 10c. Oz., 20c. % lb., 40o. Lb., $1.25. 



>HIS is the large, beautiful 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. Al- 

 though of such large size, it is very hardy and 

 an excellent keeper. The flavor is mild and deli- 

 cate, making the Prizetaker 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 suc- 

 cess. Pkt., 5c. Oz., 20c. \i lb., 40c. Lb., $1.40. 



WETHERSPIELD LARGE RES. — Well-known 

 and favorite sort. A large vielder and good 

 keeper. Pkt., 5c. Oz., 15c. % lb., 40c. Lb., $1.25.
