ONION SEED 



Cl TI TIVATION TO GBOW URGE ONIONS FROM SEED. — The seed should be sown as early as possible in the 

 V^UL. I J V rtliWll spring, as they grow much better during the cool weather, and should make most of their growth 



betore the hot weather sets in. Sow 5 pounds of seed to the acre for large onions. 



THE NEW ONION CULTURE. — Sow the seed in hotbed and transplant early as possible to open ground. They can 



be grown very successfully by this plan. 



WHITE SILVERSKIN or POKTUGAL. — A 



good variety for family use, skin and flesh 

 pure white, mild flavor and flat shape. The 

 best, white onion to grow largely for sets. 



AUSTRALIAN BROWN. — A Valuable Lonff- 



Keeping- Onion. — This new onion, introduced 

 into the United States a few years since, has 

 met with wonderful success, and is pronounced 

 the best keeper of all onions. The outside 

 skin is of a deep amber brown, distinct from 

 all other onions, extremely hard and firm, of 

 fine flavor, and will keep almost indefinitely. 

 Australian Brown is the only onion Australian 

 growers will plant 



WETHERSPIELD LARGE RED. — Well- 

 known and favorite sort. A large yielder and 

 good keeper. 



YELLOW DUTCH, or STRASBURG. — The 



most popular and best variety for set pur- 

 poses. Is similar to the Yellow Danvers. Flat 

 in shape, color and size, but as a set onion it 

 has the quality of ripening down earlier and 

 more uniformly. 



YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS. — A very hand- 

 some, round, yellow onion: a large yielder and 

 splendid keeper; the preferred sort with mar- 

 ket gardeners and large growers all over the 

 country. We unhesitatingly recommend it for 

 growing either sets or large onions. 



PRIZE TAKER. — This is the large, beauti- 

 ful onion that is seen every fall offered for 

 sale at the fruit stores in Baltimore and other 

 large cities. It has a rich straw color, and 

 is of enormous size. Although of such large 

 size, it is very hardy and an excellent keeper. 

 The flavor is mild and delicate, making the 

 Prize-taker a favorite variety for salads. By 

 sowing this sort early you can raise a large 

 crop of large onions the first seas»n with very 

 little trouble. All that is necessary is good 

 ground, proper cultivation, and not to have 

 them too thick. Those of our growers who 

 have tried this variety have had remarkably 

 fine success.
