GROWING LARGE ONIONS 
To grow fancy, extra large onions, sow 
the seed of Prizetaker or Valencia in a cold 
frame about Feb. 1st. Keep the frost out 
by covering the frames with sashes before 
you sow as well as after sowing. When the 
plants are 6 in. high and about as thick as 
a pencil, they are ready to be set out. Clip 
the tops about one-third. Also the roots 
if too long to avoid doubling up of roots 
when setting. Plant in rows foot apart and 
6 in., apart in the row. Use a “dibble” with 
ten pegs nailed 6 in. apart. Set the plants 
in holes made by the “dibble” about an inch 
deep. One great advantage in setting the 
plants is, that the ground where they are 
set can be prepared as soon as the soil can 
be plowed, then harrowed until the plants 
are set. You will plant into clean ground 
and save lots of weeding. 
Ailsa Craig 
Onion 
AILSA CRAIG ONION 
One of the largest of all onions, rapidly gaining in popularity. 
The bulbs are very uniform in size, shape almost globular, with 
sulphur yellow skin, neck very small, the interior white, fine grained, 
flavor mild and sweet and a good keeper. Ailsa Craig is in every 
way as large and handsome as the finest imported Spanish Onion 
and superior to it on account of its remarkable keeping and very 
heavy yielding qualities. To attain the greatest possible size this 
variety should be sown early in the spring in a hot bed and trans¬ 
planted later in the open. Ailsa Craig is a variety of English prize 
winning stock. Anyone wanting an extra large fine looking onlou, 
especially for exhibition purposes, should plant Ailsa Craig. Pkt. 
10c; oz. 15c; % lb. 50c; 1 lb. $2.00; 10 lbs. $18.00, prepaid.

is thoroughly warm, in rows 2 feet apart j 
and thin out to 1 foot in the rows. Gather the pods while 
they are young. 
PRIZETAKER ONION 
Prizetaker is of excellent quality of attractive appearance, always 
uniformly and perfectly globe shaped, of bright clear straw color 
and as mild in flavor as the imported Spanish onions. No other 
onion ever met with such universal favor and became popular as 
rapidly as Prizetaker. It is the best onion for size, mildness of 
flavor, keeping qualities as well as large yield, and succeeds well 
everywhere, North, South East and West. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; % lb. 
50c; 1 lb. $2.00; 10 lbs. $18.00, prepaid.
