Pure Line Breeding of Onion Seed by Tying Paper Sacks Over the Heads Before They Bloom 



ONION 



In our selecting operations particular attention is paid to curing quality and keeping quality 



Our bulbs are subjected to a long storage period to eliminate any occasional poor keeping indi- 

 viduals before planting the mother bulbs in the spring for stock seed. 



The trials of onion at our Experimental Gardens near Detroit are always planted about May 

 1st. The earlier varieties such as Extra Early Red Flat are always fully mature in 125 days or less 

 and the late varieties about 2 weeks later, that is the latter part of September. 



Our stocks of onions are superior in every respect.

Australian Brown obedience 



Standard market variety of notably long keeping quality; splen- 

 did for sets. Bulbs flat but rather deep in shape; skin thick and
