98 VEGETABLE SEEDS.

ONION SEEDS 
(One ounce for 100 feet of drill ; 5 or 
6 pounds in drills for an acre.) 
The best onions are grown on low, 
sandy, or mucky lands, with natural 
moisture and plenty of it. 
The most essential item in grow- 
ing onions for market is good seed — 
seed that will come up and seed 
that will produce the variety you 
wish to grow. 
The crop must always be kept free 
from weeds, and it is usually neces- 
sary to weed out in the row by hand 
once or twice. Hoeing between the 
rows may be done oftener. It is not 
necessary to thin the plants in the 
row, since some thinning is natur- 
ally done during the hand weeding. 
Steady, even growth is necessary 
to good onions, and a check in 
growth whether from disease or 
drought causes them to run to seed 
badly. 
DifTerent markets and local- 
ities prefer different onions. 
Globe onions are genenally 
most popular and yield belter 
than the other sorts. Flat 
onions are earliest and the 
large siz«d kinds have the best 
flavor. The most critical 
planters can rely upon our 
seed. Every bag of seed is 
tested as to vitality.

ONION— (Ailsa Craifl.) Pkt., 10c; Oz., 
20c; % Lb., 75c; Lb $2.50 
A very large, yellow-fleshed vari- 
ety of onion which is popular with 
gardeners. It resembles the vari- 
ety, "Prizetaker," but will grow 
much larger and more globular in 
form. The skin is an attractive 
straw-color, flesh is mild, and the 
onions keep remarkably well for 
such large size. For producing 
the largest and best onions, it is 
best to sow seed in the hotbed 
early in spring and transplant 
when of sufficient size. We grew 
onions of this variety in our trial 
grounds weighing 2% lbs. each. 
ONIONS— (Extra Early Red.) Oz., 
20c; Vi Lb. 60c; Lb., $1.80; 5 Lbs.,

pense $8.00 
The first to ripen, and one of the 
handsomest of the red sorts. 
A medium sized flat vari- 
ety, an abundant producer, 
and very uniform in shane 
and size.

crsflcld.) Oz., 15c; 2 Oz., 25c;

Expense, 5 Lbs $9.75 
This strain of the Red Weth- 
ersfleld has been especially 
sel'pcted for its fine color. It 
is the darkest red onion in 
existence and where a mar- 
ket demands a dark red 
onion, it has no superior. 
Inclined to run a small per- 
centage of thick necks on 
moist, strong soils. The very 
best for dry, rather poor 
places.
