HOW TO G"ROW ONIONS. — For sets (to plant the following spring), sow in rows 12 inches apart early in the spring, in soil 
well prepared and worked fine. Sow seed thick, 50 pounds to the acre. If not thick, then they grow too large. When ripe, gather, 
cure, and store them in a dark, dry, cool, airy place. Leave undistiirbed until next spring. For large Onions, sow 10 pounds to the 
acre. Sow seed early in spring in rows 12 inches 
apart, same as] for sets, but make soil as rich as 
possible, for Onions are rank feeders, and to grow the 
largest size it is necessary to have the plant food there 
to feed them. Wizard Brand Sheep Manure is splendid 
(we have it). Thin to about 2 inches apart in the 
rows. Keep clear of weeds. Harvest when the tops 
die down. One ounce will sow a row 100 feet long. 
The Famous Prizetaker 
Onion 
Grofrs to enormous size from seed. Under 
very best conditions the Onions have been 
grown to 5 inches in diameter. Prizetaker is 
the Onion everybody should fgrow for private 
use or for marltet. It is the most popular Onion 
in America, is grown more extensively by gar- 
deners than any other variety, and is a money- 
maker for those who grow it in quantities. The 
flesh is pure white, succulent and sparkling; the 
skin a pale yellow; its keeping quality is excellent. 
Crops of 800 to 1,200 bushels to the acre have 
been grown with Prizetaker. If you have a good, 
rich acre, sow ten pounds of Prizetaker seed on 
it and try for a i.ooo-bushel crop — it may mean 
Ji,ooo. Pkt. 6 cts., oz. 30 cts., V^b. 85 cts.,

Perfect SUverskin Onions 
White Silverskin 
Pure white, mild-flavored Onions; splendid for 
spring-bunching Onions because of their snow- 
white skin and mild flavor. Also valuable as large 
Onions and medium-sized for pickling. For this 
purpose they should be left i inch apart in the 
row when small quantities arc grown. When large 
quantities are grown, sow half as thick as for sets. 
They keep well, but are not so sure as the yellow 
varieties. Make your soil very rich, and cultivate 
often. Always keep in mind the fact that my 
Onion seed averages 97 to 100% vitality which 
is equal to crop insurance where weather condi- 
tions are favorable. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 40 cts.,
