IMPORTED ONIONS 



These sorts are particularly adapted to southern lati- 

 tudes where they are sown in the fall or early spring. The 

 best results are obtained by sowing in beds or boxes and 

 transplanting. 



!-■ . r» l rt l »j An extremely early ma- 

 Lxtra Larly tSarletta turing variety very white 



with silvery tinge and particularly desirable for pickling. 



The bulbs are very small and quite similar to Queen. If 



seed is sown out of doors in spring in the usual manner 



and plants thinned about two inches apart they will 



produce bulbs one to two inches in diameter. If these 



bulbs are set out the following spring, or if plants 



are grown under glass in winter and set out in the 



spring, they will produce large onions. This variety and 



Queen are the ones most generally used in this country 



for producing the small pickling bulbs. For this pur- 

 pose if the seed has been sown eight to ten seeds to the 



inch of drill, no thinning will be required. Growers 



usually plant the seed thickly in drills fifteen inches 



apart and use forty to fifty pounds to an acre. Pkt. 10c;

white-skinned variety, desirable for early use and used
