BOLGIANO'S SELECTED ONION SEED 



85. White Silver Skin. This famous onion re- 

 tains its great popularity. Its delicate and mild 

 flavor, its shapely form and size, and its pure white 

 color make it a most desirable variety for the table, 

 for the market and for shipping. Onion sets are ex- 

 tensively 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.; % lb. 

 75 cts.; lb. $2.50. 



C13. Australian Brown, 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 

 caches maturity. Its leading and most val- 

 uable feature, aside from its appearance and qual- 

 ity, is its long-keeping quality. It will literally 

 keep for a vear or more. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 

 15 cts.; % lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50.

 splendid producer. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; J4 lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50.

 grown seed produces a more solid onion than the Western-grown. Pkt. 

 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; y A lb. 65 cts.; lb. $2.25. 



36. Danver's Fine Yellow. Color brownish-yellow ; bulbs quite round

 of bushels of which are annually shipped from this market to different 

 parts of the United States. They are more hardy than the whites, and 

 keep better through the winter. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; Y$ lb. 

 45 cts.; lb. $1.50. 



One ounce will sow 100 feet of driU; 

 six pounds to the acre. 



Our seed is unsurpassed and we feel sure 

 will thoroughly please the most critical 

 planters. 



CU1 TURE. 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, U inches apart and about 4 inches apart 

 in the drills. The onions obtained by that 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 1 foot apart and 

 about 'A 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.
