ONION 



One Ounce Onion Seed Will Sow Hundred Feet Drill. Six Pounds to Acre. 



Culture.— For sets, sow the seed as early as possible in the spring, very thickly, in drills. As soon as the 

 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 this pro- 

 cess are of a large size early in the season. They may also be grown to full size during the first season by sowing 

 thinly in drills I foot apart, and about % inch deep, in March or early in April, in strong land, well manured, 

 and thinning them out to stand 3 or 4 inches apart in the 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 or March and transplanting in April, onions of immense size can be obtained. For this purpose Red and 

 White Bermuda and Prize-Taker succeed best. 



White Silver Skin Onion.— T h i s 

 famous onion retains its great popularity. 

 Its delicate and mild flavor, its shapely form 

 and size, and its pure white color makes it a 

 most desiiable variety for the table, for the 

 market and for shipping. Onion sets are 

 extensively grown from this sort, and from 

 these sets full grown onions are grown as 

 early as June and July. The onion sets and 

 large onions are used for pickling purposes 

 because of their clean, white silver color. 

 Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents; '4 pound, 

 50 cents ; l / 2 pound, 80 cents ; pound, $1.50. 



Australian Brown. — This onion has 

 claimed a place in America within recent 

 years, and seems abundantly able to maintain 

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

 very early, rather flattened in shape, of brown 

 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 appearance 

 and quality, is its long keeping quality. It 

 will literally keep for a year or more. It has 

 developed a sudden and wide popularity in 

 this county since its advent here. Packet, 

 5 cents ; ounce, 10 cents ; % pound, 35 cents ; 

 pound, 90 cents. 



Danvers Fine Yellow. — Is the same shape as the White Silver 

 Skin ; color, brownish yellow ; bulbs quite flat and of good size. This 

 is the variety grown for sets, thousands of bushels of which are an- 

 nually shipped from this market to different parts of the United 

 States. They are more hardy than the whites, and keep better 

 through the winter. In the Southern States they can be planted in 

 autumn and will continue growing the entire winter. Packets, 5 and 

 10 cents; ounce, 10 cents ; 2 ounces, 15 cents; *{ pound, 25 cents;
