 Keepinf:; Onion. * 



This new Onion, introduced into the ITnited States 

 a few years since, has met with wonderful success, and 

 is pronounced the best keeper of all Onions. The out- 

 side skin is of a deep amber brown, distinct from all 

 •ttier Onions, extremely hard and firm, of fine flavor 

 and will keep almost indefinitely. Australian Brown 

 is the only Onion Australian growers will plant.

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 

 CULTITRE. 



Sow the seed in hot- 

 fa e d . and transplant 

 early as possible to 

 open ground. They can 

 be grown very success- 

 fully by this plan.

^ OR GUMBO. 



SELECT warm lo- 

 lation and rich 

 soil, and plant 

 when the ground 

 becomes warm, in 

 rows three feet 

 a p a r t, 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- 

 blcs in iisi'.

'AVE a clean and ve-^|r 

 rich soil, which shouiti 

 be thoroughly cultivated,, 

 or it will not do well enougk 

 to pay for the trouble. The 

 most successful growers work 

 their ground several times i> 

 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 i« 

 good you will have a large 

 crop of Onion Sets. On B» 

 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 eartk 

 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 GO pounds t» 

 sow an acre.

. beautiful 



THIS is the large, beautiful ()nio» 

 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 

 hardv and an excellent keeper. The 

 flavor is mild and delicate, making the 

 I'rizetaker a favorite variety for salads. 

 Bv 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 

 varietv have had remarkably fine success.
