Our Good, Clean Onion Seed Produces Wonderful Crops 
15 
Onions 
One ounce will sow about 100 feet of drill; 
5 to 6 pounds to the acre. 
Very fine Onions are produced by sowing seed in the 
hotbed early in February and transplanting to the open, 
about 6 inches apart. All Onion seed is black, three' 
cornered, and about one'sixteenth inch diameter. Sow 
seed outdoors in rich, sandy loam, in hills one foot 
apart, as early as possible, and cover with fine soil. 
When plants are strong enough, thin out to 3 to 4 
inches apart. 
Extra Early Flat Red. Earlier than the Red Wethers' 
field, and somewhat smaller. The Onions are flat, 
very uniform in size and shape, with purplish red 
skin and close grained, white flesh of rather strong 
flavor. A good keeper. 
Michigan Yellow Globe. An enormous yielder and a 
good keeper. The bulbs are large, with small necks 
and rich orange skin. 
Red Wethersfield. 
Prizetaker. An enormous yellow Onion that is three 
times the size of Yellow Globe Danvers, and some' 
times weighs 4 to 5J/2 pounds. The skin is thin and 
bright straw'yellow, giving the bulbs a very hand' 
some appearance. The pure white flesh is crisp, very 
sweet, and mild in flavor. On account of its large 
size, it matures about a month later than the Yellow 
Globe Danvers. This is the variety usually sold in 
crates as “Spanish Onions.” There is no more 
profitable sort for the home or market gardener. 
Red Wethersfield. A very productive and long keep' 
ing variety. The bulbs have deep purplish red skin 
and are large and flat, with a strong flavor. They 
grow to good size the first year from seed. 
Southport Red Globe. The bulbs are of good size 
(21/2 to 3 inches in diameter), globe'shaped, with 
very small neck and bright red skin. The flesh is 
fine grained, mild, and tender. Excellent keeper. 
Southport White Globe. The white bulbs of this va- 
riety are very attractive and always bring a high price 
in the markets. It is an enormous yielder and good 
keeper. The flesh is pure white, fine grained and 
crisp, with a very mild flavor. When mature, store 
bulbs in a cool, dark shed or loft. 
Southport Yellow Globe. Pale straw colored skin and 
mild flavor have made this a very popular variety for 
home and market. 
White Portugal (Silverskin). The bulbs are large, with 
silvery white skin and sweet, tender white flesh which 
is mild flavored; do not keep well. 
Yellow Globe Danvers. Most popular of yellow Onions 
for market and home use, as it is one of the heaviest 
croppers and best keepers. The bulbs are .very 
large, globe'shaped, with small neck and brownish 
yellow skin. The flesh is white, fine grained and 
mild. It is an enormous yielder, a crop of 600 to 
800 bushels to the acre being not unusual. 
Canada Field Peas , 
Field Peas can be grown under almost any condition 
of soil or climate, and not only will they provide a 
nrofitable crop, but will enrich the soil at the same time. 
They are valuable as a food for cattle and also make 
ensilage of good quality. When sown alone, about 
3 bushels of seed are required to the acre. Usually 
sown broadcast and harrowed in. Seed smooth, small, 
white or brown.
