BOLGIANO'S SELECTED ONION SEED 



Our seed is unsurpassed and we feel sure 

 will thoroughly please the most critical 

 planters. 



One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill ; six- 

 pounds to the acre. 



CULTURE. For sets sow the seed as early as 

 possible in the spring, very thickly in drills. As 

 he tops die off in summer remove them 

 to a dry. airy place, and early in the following 

 spring replant by placing the sets in shallow 

 drills, 12 inches apart and about 4 inches apart 

 in the drills. The onions obtained by that pro- 

 of a large size early in the season. They 

 may also be grown to full sixe during the first 

 wason by sowing thinly in drills 1 foot apart and 

 about 'i inch deep in March or early in April, 

 in strong land, well manured, and thinning them 

 out to 3 to 4 inches apart in drills. They delight 

 in a strong, rich, deep, loamy soil, and succeed 

 well if grown successive years on the same 

 ground. By sowing onion seed in frames in Feb- 

 ruary and March and transplanting in April 

 onions of immense size can be obtained. For this 

 purpose Prize-Taker succeeds best.

 seen on fruit stands in the fall and is the

 delicate flavor. Pkts. 5 and 10 cts.; oz.

White Silver Skin Onions— Reduced in Size. 



White Silver Skin. This famous onion retains 

 its great popularity. Its delicate and mild flavor, its 

 shapely form and size, and its pure white color 

 make it a most desirahle variety for the table, for 

 the market and for shipping. Onion sets are exten- 

 sively grown from this sort, and from these sets 

 full-size onions are grown as early as June and 

 July. The onion sets and large onions are used for 

 pickling purposes because of their clean, silvery 

 white color. Pkts. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; l A lb.

 important place among growers in America within 

 recent years, and seems abundantly able to main- 

 tain it. It is of medium size and of good quality, 

 very early, rather flattened in shape, brown in color, 

 and wonderfully hard and solid. It begins to form 

 a bulb at an early period of its growth, when only a 

 few inches high, and quickly reaches maturity. Its 

 leading and most valuable feature, aside from its 

 appearance and quality, is its long-keeping quality. 

 It will literally keep for a vear or more. Pkts. 5
