PERFECTION BRAND SEEDS 
Perfection Brand Onion Seed 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill, 4 pounds will sow an acre. We pride ourselves on selling the very best onion 
seed that can be produced, and are now supplying some of the largest onion-growers in the country. By sowing our 
seed, large onions can be produced direct from the seed. 
CULTURE—Sow in the early spring, in moist soil, as soon as the weather will permit, in rows 12 inches apart, 
and cover half inch deep. If the onions grow too thick, thin to 1 inch apart, or only a very few onions will be the 
result. Manure highly (twenty loads to the acre being used by many market gardeners with profit), and if manure 
is not plentiful, some good phosphate, at the rate of 400 to 800 pounds per acre will give good results. A top dressing 
of wood ashes, applied after the second weeding, is very beneficial. 
SOIL—Onions need rich loam, with a slight mixture of clay, manuring for two years previous. 
MANURING—A liberal use of manure is essential and it should be of the best quality, well fermented, and shoveled 
over at least twice the previous summer to kill the weeds. 
GIANT YELLOW PRIZETAKER—The American- 
grown Giant Yellow Prizetaker is far the handsomest, 
most productive, most popular, and best of the yellow 
skin onions. The flesh is pure white, firm and fine¬ 
grained, and mild in flavor. It is of immense size, 
sometimes measuring from 10 to 12 inches in circum¬ 
ference. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 14 lb.. 50c; lb., $1.60, post¬
