ONION 
In our selecting operations particular attention is paid to ripening down and keeping quality. 
Our bulbs are subjected to along storage period to eliminate any occasional poor keeping 
individuals 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 Ist. 
The earlier varieties such as Early Yellow Globe are always fully mature in 125 days or less and 
the late varieties about 2 weeks later, that is, the latter part of September.
