Onion Sets 
One quart (1 lb.) will set 75 to 100 feet of row, depending 
upon the size of the sets. 
It is very easy to raise onions from sets and they should be grown in 
every garden. If the sets are set out early in the spring, nice green onions 
can be pulled in a few weeks. A little later the bulbs grow large and are 
then ready to use cooked. They are of very delicate flavor. The onions 
mature about the middle of July in this latitude. They are then large, 
ripe onions which can be kept through the winter if desired. The sets 
should be planted about 2 inches apart and covered an inch deep. 
For economical use of ground in the small garden it is a good plan to 
plant the sets about one inch apart in rows. Pull every other one for green 
onions in the spring and leave the rest for boiling onions. This will give 
you a continuous supply throughout the summer. 
EBENEZER or “Japanese” Sets—Yellow. These sets will produce fine 
bunching onions and also large yellow onions of the finest quality. The 
quality of the onions is far superior to other kinds and the yield is also 
larger. See page 33. 
The sets we offer are the finest we have seen in years. They are just 
the right size, clean and of the best type.

ONIONS—White varieties continued 
Mammoth Silver King. A large white onion used principally for bunch¬ 
ing while green. The onions are very large, flattened, pure white and of 
very mild flavor. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; V4 Lb. 70c; Lb. $2.25. 
White Welsh. This onion forms no bulbs, the onions being small and 
slim, and therefore, very desirable for bunching. If sown in four inch 
trenches in late summer and the trenches are gradually filled up as the 
onions grow, they can be safely carried over winter and will produce 
bunch onions very early in the spring. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; *4 Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.50. 
White Bunch (White Lisbon). This fine bunching onion is popular in 
many sections. It does not form a large bulb but has large tops and 
flesh of mild flavor. The skin is smooth and white.

Extra Early Barletta. Sow Some for Pickling. The handsomest and 
most perfect white pickling onion. When sown thickly the onions ma¬ 
ture about the size of a cherry, perfectly round, pearly white, and of very 
mild flavor. Sow an ounce of seed to 40 ft. of row or 50 lbs. per acre. 
Our strain produces uniformly small even onions.

Red Varieties 
SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE. Harris’ Special Selected. The largest 
and handsomest red onion. Keeps better than any other kind, and the

deep red, and with small tops. Our strain is very fine, being grown from 
selected bulbs only.

that matures early and succeeds well everywhere. The bulbs are flat¬ 
tened, very large around, solid and of fine quality. A good keeper. One 
of the best red onions for home use or market, where a globe-shaped onion 
is not required.

Germination Tests 
Harris’ Onion Seed is given thorough tests for germination, 
and the exact results from such tests are marked on each package 
so that the purchaser can tell just what proportion of the seed 
is of good vitality. This ought to be worth a good deal to any 
grower. We shall be glad to tell any onion grower just how our 
seed of any varieties he is interested in germinates in our tests 
before he buys the seed.

An Easy Way to Raise Onions 
These plants will produce large Spanish onions with very little labor. 
When set out in the early spring, large handsome onions are produced 
within 8 or 10 weeks. These onions will grow in any good garden soil. 
Set the plants 3 to 4 in. apart in rows 15-18 in. apart. 
RIVERSIDE SWEET SPANISH. These plants will produce large sweet 
onions of the true Spanish type. They are grown from a fine strain of 
seed. 
WHITE SPANISH. Like the yellow Spanish, but the onions do not keep 
as well and should be planted for early use. These onions have a very 
delicate flavor. 
Price of either variety. 100 plants 30c; 500 $1.00. Transportation 
paid. Not less than 100 plants of a single variety sold. Prices on large 
lots will be sent on application. 
Plants can not be shipped before April 25th and not later than

Peanuts 
Peanuts can be successfully grown in the North on 
warm, sandy soil in a sheltered place with a southern 
exposure. South of Pennsylvania they can be grown 
on any good light soil. 
Plant the same time as corn, in rows 2J-£ ft. apart. 
Drop the shelled nuts 8-10 in. apart, cover 1 in. deep. 
When the plants are nearly full grown throw earth up 
to them. This will cause the nuts to form. 
Early Spanish. These are not large peanuts but are 
the earliest variety and very prolific. This is de¬ 
cidedly the best kind for planting in the North.
