ONION SEED. 
Packets 8 cents each, except when noted. 
There is no vegetable where 
the quality of the seed has 
more to do with the result of 
the crop than the Onion. Seed 
that looks all right may pro- 
duce a crop of thick-necked, 
immature onions that will b» 
nearly worthless. Only the best seed from the best stock is safe to sow. The 
difference in the seed may, and often does, make a difference of hundreds of dollars in 
the value of the crop. My seed is grown with ths greatest care, and, I am sure, will 
please the most careful growers. ( See testimonial below.) The seed should be sown in 
the spring as soon as the ground is dry enough to work. There is little danger of the seed 
rotting by sowing too early. Sow four or five pounds to the acre, in drills 14 inches apart, 
and be careful not to let the weeds get a start of the onions. A few days' neglect in weed- 
ing the first time may be fatal to the crop. Four weedings are generally necessary. 
" Heman Glass: Last spring I bought of you 25 pounds Red Globe Onion seed and 
sowed it on 4J acres of land. I harvested and sold 2,500 bushels of onions, although the 
drought here was Bevere. The buyer said that for hardness, shape and color they were by 
far the finest onions he had seen. Mrs. O. C. Dryer."
