HCW TO GROW 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 npe, gather, 
cure, and store them in a dark, dry, cool, airy place. Leave undisturbed until next sprmg. For large Omons, 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.

very best conditions the Onions have been 
grown to 5 inches in diameter. Prizetaker is 
the Onion everybody should |grow for private 
use or for market. It is the most popular Onion 
in America, is grown more extensively by gar- 
deners than any other variety, and is a money-
