The Puritan Onion. 
ONIONS. 
CULTURE. —Sow the seed in seed beds from the 
middle of September to the end of October and in some lo¬ 
cations later. If sown sooner they are apt to run to seed, 
and many sorts will anyhow. The varieties we offer have 
been carefully selected and grown and will be found reliable. 
If the month of September has been dry and hot cover the 
beds where the seeds were sown with moss or palmetto 
leaves, taking them off in the evenings. When well up this is 
not necessary, but plenty of water should be given. When 
they are the size of 
a goose quill they 
should be trans¬ 
planted in rich soil, 
into rows 18 inches 
apart, five inches 
in the row. When 
sowing seed in the 
seed bed tread the 
ground down well 
on the seed or flat¬ 
ten it well with a 
board, but do not 
plant more than 
half an inch deep. 
If you want a good 
onion crop and 
have not tried our 
seed do so. They 
will grow where 
other sorts would 
entirely fail.
