Onions for the Home-Garden 
One package of seed will sow 20 feet of row; 1 ounce, 200 feet; 4 to 5 pounds, an acre 
As early in the spring as possible, sow the seed in rich soil in rows 10 to 15 inches 
apart, covering 24 inch deep and firming earth well down. When plants are well 
started, cultivate and weed. Thin to 3 inches apart in the rows as spring Onions 
are required for the table. For a very early crop, sow the seed in the coldframe 
in February and transplant when large enough. 
PRIZETAKER. The largest of all Onions—often 15 to 18 inches in circumference. 
A very desirable fall and early winter variety, often offered on the fruit-stands 
as Spanish Onions. Skin is thin, bright straw-yellow; flesh pure white, crisp, 
mild, and sweet. Specially large bulbs may be had by starting the seed under 
glass in January, February, or March and transplanting to the open ground in 
April. Give them plenty of room, for they require 4 to 5 inches to grow in.

no superior. The flesh is pure white, very 
mild in flavor and always tender. It is used 
extensively in private gardens for ordinary 
use and for exhibition purposes. When trans¬ 
planted, they grow very large. Pkg. 10c;

Extra-Early White Queen. The earliest Onion 
to mature, generally ready for pulling 45 
days after the seed is sown. Many gardeners 
prefer this kind for pickling, as they are 
ready to eat when about the size of a cherry. 
When fully developed, they are about 
124 inches in diameter. Pkg. 10c; oz. 25c; 
24 lb. 70c; lb. $2.45.

WHITE PORTUGAL. If you like mild, tender, 
crisp, snow-white Spring Onions, that you 
can pull early in the spring, or those small 
white Onions for pickling, this is a mighty 
good kind to plant. Also used for growing 
sets. Pkg. 10c; oz. 20c; 24 lb. 65c; lb. $2.35. 
MOUNTAIN SWEET SPANISH. This very 
large Onion runs about 4 inches in diameter, 
is very heavy, of true globe shape, with a 
light golden colored skin and pure white 
flesh of mild, sweet flavor. This Onion re¬ 
quires a longer season to mature than other 
kinds so we recommend starting it under 
glass and transplanting it outdoors in the 
North. Give it plenty of room to develop. 
Pkg. 10c; oz. 25c; 24 lb. 80c; lb. $2.85.

The Garden Huckleberry 
These “Pie Berries” grow big, strong plants that bear quan¬ 
tities of fruit the same season that you sow the seed. Some 
call them “Sun Berries,” others “Wonder Berries.” Down in 
Wayne County, N. Y., where we saw them first, they call 
them Seed Huckleberries, first because they grow and bear 
from seed the first year and Huckleberries for the reason 
that pies made from them rival the most delicious Huckle¬ 
berry pies that you ever tasted. These “Pie Berries” are not 
a freak; they are just a mighty good garden fruit, bearing 
freely and needing little care or space. Pkg. (50 seeds) 15c; 
2 pkgs. 25c.
