ONIONS 
Zwiebeln Cebollos 
We make a specialty of onion seed and handle it extensively. We grow a largo portion of our seed 
ourselves and have it grown under our supervision. Our seed is grown from choice selected bulbs and can 
be relied upon. We make special prices to gardeners and others using seed in large quantities. 
CULTURE. The onion thrives best in a rather deep, rich, loamy soil, unlike most vegetables, succeeds 
well when cultivated on the same ground for successive years. As early in the spring as the ground is in 
working order, commence operations by leveling the ground with a rake; sow thinly in rows a quarter 
of an inch deep and one foot apart; cover with fine soil and press down with the back of the spade or a light 
roller. When the young plants are strong enough, thin gradually so that they stand 3 to 4 inches apart. 
Keep the surface of the ground open and free from weeds by frequent hoeing, taking care not to stir the soil 
too deeply, or collect it about the growing bulb. When ripe, pull and dry thoroughly before storing. As 
maggots are the worst enemies of an onion patch, commercial fertilizers are better to use than manures, 
which originate maggots. One ounce to 100 feet of drill, 4 to 5 pounds to an acre.

Onions are very healthful and should be eaten 
much more freely than they are. During the recent 
Influenza epidemic it was noticed that the Italians 
were effected but very little. It is thought that 
this was due to the fact that they ate so many 
onions and so much garlic.

SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE. The true 
Southport Onions are very handsome Globes of 
superior quality. They are excellent keepers, 
uniform in size and form, and command higher 
market prices than any other kind. We highly 
recommend the Yellow Globe. It ripens a ittle 
earlier than the red, grows to an average size of 
two to three inches in diameter and has all the 
good qualities mentioned above

PRIZETAKER. This handsome variety is a splendid 
type of the celebrated Spanish fancy onions, which are 
annually imported into the United States from Spain and 
sold by confectioners and fruiters in our large cities at 
from 25 to 50 cents each, and even higher. The onions 
grown here quite rival the imported ones in great beauty 
and enormous size. The outside skin is of a greenish 
yellow color, while the flesh is white, sweet and mild.

AUSTRALIAN BROWN. This fine onion is extra large 
and sure to make a good crop. This onion is of special 
merit because of its excellent keeping qualities, bulbs re- 
main in excellent condition until almost a year after they 
are harvested. 
The advantage of this is easily seen, especially by the 
Southern growers. In shape and form they resemble 
somewhat the round Yellow Danvers, but the former are 
heavier in every case. The skin is quite thin and bright 
reddish brown, while the flesh is solid, crisp and mild.
