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 doub¬ 
ling 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. 
ONION EARLY BEAUTY 
A local grower regarded here by all who know him as 
one of the best gardeners in our locality grew for a trial in 
1929 our Early Beauty Onion. He says this: That onion of 
yours is certainly the thing. Had I planted my few acres all 
with this onion, the way the prices were this year, I could 
have easily made ten thousand dollars. 
We are harvesting at this time your Early Beauty Onion. 
This seed, planted under precisely same conditions as three 
other early varieties from other seedmen, proved itself the 
better. A nice bulb admired by all. It is all you claim for 
it, etc. From a customer in New Jersey. 
ONION EARLY BEAUTY 
EXTRA EARLY—HIGHLY ATTRACTIVE 
Weeks ahead of other Onions in earliness and ready for 
market at a time when other onions are the size of marbles. 
Bulbs very large and almost a globe in shape, slightly flat¬ 
tened on top. The skin is dark, rich yellow, adhering firmly 
to the bulb, making it conspicuously clean and neat. Early 
Beauty Onion was on exhibit in one of the large local grocery 
stores together with many other onions, that we grew, for 
comparison and for trial. Early Beauty was unanimously 
pronounced to be the choicest of all. The appearance of the 
bulb is such that at first sight anyone can see that it is a 
very solid onion, and one that has long keeping qualities. 
Early Beauty ripens evenly and being highly attractive in 
appearance and matured long before other onions are ready, 
it is readily salable at top prices on any market. Early Beauty 
will make money for the grower—that has been proven. Pkt. 
10c; oz. 40c; 1 lb. $4.50, prepaid.
