Onions 
Large Growers of Sets Should Write for Special Prices on Seed. 
One of the most popular vegetables and should be in every garden, large or small. It can be raised readily 
either from sets or seed, both of which should be planted soon as the ground is in working order. The seed can 
also be sown in hotbeds early and transplanted to rows twelve inches apart, the plants four inches apart in the 
row. When handled in this way the large varieties, such as Prize Taker or Silver King, are generally used. The 
seed can be sown in the open ground in rows twelve inches apart and thinned to three inches apart for large 
Onions, if grown for Sets, seed should be sown thickly and not thinned. Onions require rich soil, and constant 
cultivation. The soil should be well prepared before the crop is planted. Early Green Onions can best be ob- 
tained by planting Sets, either Potato Onions or the small Onions, raised from seed. Potato Onions can be planted 
in the fall and Spring, about two inches deep, the regular Sets early as possible in the Spring. If not used as 
Green Onions, they will mature much earlier than Onions from seed. If large Onions are desired, sow five to six 
pounds per acre; for pickling Onions, fifteen pounds per acre, and for Sets, 40 to 60 pounds per acre. 
‘ is largely grown for sets, and is regarded as a standard 
sort on account of its being hard and firm and an ex- 
cellent keeper. Our stock is particularly fine. Pkt.,
