The wide popularity of Onions s^own 
flront tills seed is well proven by the 
larsely increased sales with which we are 
favored year after year. It is a weJI known 
fact that tile farther nortli \'egetable life is developed 
the stronger, iiardier ami better that development is. 
This is esDecially true regarding Onions 
erown from our Minnesota seed. They 
ar<; earlier, hardier, liner flavored, better 
colored, tlrnier and in every way superior. 
They yield better and bring a higher price in the market. As they cost no 
more than other seed our friends are urgetl to place their orders, large or 
small, with lis for we guarantee our seed to give satisfactory results.

Culture — For sets sow the seed as early as possi- 
ble in the spring, very thickly in drills, using 60 to 
80 pounds to the acre. As soon as the ttjps die off 
in summer remove them to a dry, airy place, and 
early in the following spring replant by placing the 
sets in shallow drills 12 inches apart and about 4 
inches apart in the drills. Onions of a large size are 
obtainetl by this firocess early in the season. They 
may also be grown to full size during the first season 
by sowinft thinly in drills 1 foot apart and about \i 
inch deep, in March or early in April, in strong land, well manured, and thin- 
ning them out to stand 3 or 4 inches apart in the drills. By sowing onion seed 
in frames in February or March and transplantmg in April, onions of immense 
size can be obtained.
