 they should be sown thickly. The pods are used to 

 thicken soup, being gathered when young. It is 

 one of the most wholesome vegetables in use.

PRIZETARER. 



American Grown. 



THIS is the large, beautiful Onion that is seen every 

 fall offered for sale at the fruit stores in Balti- 

 more 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 Prizetaker a 

 favorite variety for salads. By sowing this sort early 

 you can raise a large crop of large Onions the first 

 season 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.

CULTIVATION 

 FOR SETS. 



Have a clean 

 and very rich soil, 

 which should be 

 thoroughly culti- 

 vated, or it will not 

 do well enough to 

 pay for the trouble. 

 The moat success- 

 ful growers work 

 their grouad 

 several times In 

 the fall to kill out 

 the weeds and get 

 ground in nice 

 c o n d 1 1 ion. Use 

 well-rotted man- 

 ure freely, and be 

 sure to get the 

 seeds In as early 

 as possible in the 

 spring, no matter 

 if it is ever so cold 

 or unpleasant, 

 an d keep the 

 soil mellow and clear of weeds, and if seed is good you 

 will have a large crop of Onion Sets. On no other 

 condition can you hope for success. Disturb the roots 

 of the Onion as little as possible, either in thinning or 

 hoeing, and never hoe earth toward them to cover or 

 hill, as we do most other things. 



Sow the seed in drills about 12 inches apart. It will 

 require from 40 to 60 pounds to sow an acre.
