Extra Early Wliite Pearl. 
Onion Sets from Seeds 
These are the product of seed and are used for 
“Green Onions,” or to produce large Onions, which 
they do much quicker than can be grown from 
seed.

$1.00; bu., $4.00 (32 lbs. to bu.).

Winter Top Sets. Never form a large bulb. Espe- 
cially for green Onions for Spring and Fall. Four 
qts., 50c; pk., 90c; bu., $3.00 (28 lbs. to the bu.). 
Potato Onions 
Sometimes called English Multiplier. Valuable 
for bunching or an early crop of bulbs. The 
smallest sets make tine, large bulbs; the large 
bulbs, when planted, immediately multiply, each 
bulb producing from 6 to 12 stalks for bunching. 
Of all Onions, this is most vigorous in growth 
and easiest to cultivate. 12c per lb. 
YELLOW MULTIPLIER SETS. — These are 
similar to Potato Onions excepting they always 
multiply, never forming large bulbs. Very pop- 
ular if no large Onions are wanted. 15c per lb. 
WHITE MULTIPLIER SETS. — They are of a 
pure, silvery white color, enormously productive, 
frequently producing as many as twenty shoots 
for bunching from one bulb planted; of excellent 
quality and size for bunching. 20c per lb. 
Hollow Crown Parsnip. 
Parsnips 
CULTURE. — Work the soil very deep and pul- 
verize the surface thoroughly. Sow the seed in 
early Spring, three-fourths of an inch deep, in 
rows 12 to 18 inches apart. As soon as the young 
plants appear, cultivate and hand weed them, 
and when three inches high thin to six inches 
apart in the row. Cultivate sufficiently to keep 
the soil loose throughout the season. Freezing 
improves the quality of Parsnips for table use, 
so it is customary to take up in the Fall when 
the ground begins to freeze what will be needed 
for winter use, leaving the remainder to winter 
over in the ground, or better still, pitting them 
as is often done with other roots so that access 
may be had to them at anytime. One oz. of seed 
for 200 feet of rows; five pounds seed required 
i for an acre. 
HOLLOW CROWN, LONG SMOOTH. — Smooth, 
I large, tender and sugary; one of the best. Our 
j stock is very fine. y 4 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 80c. 
IMPROVED GUERNSEY. — An improvement 
over the parent, “Hollc w Crown," than which it 
is much larger in diameter, but not so long, the 
roots are more easily gathered. This sort gives 
PTeneral satisfaction, having good quality. % lb., 
20c; 1 lb., 60c.
