White Varieties—continued

ing while green. The onions are very large, flattened, pure white and of 
very mild flavor. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; % Lb. 85c; Lb. $2.85. 
White Welsh. This onion forms no bulbs, the onions being small and 
slim, and therefore, very desirable for bundling. 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. 35c; i/ 4 Lb. $1.10; Lb. $3.45. 
White Bunch (White Lisbon). This fine bunching onion is popular in

flesh of mild flavor. The skin is smooth and white. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; l/ 4 Lb. $1.10; Lb. $3.45. 
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.

An Easy Way to Raise Onions

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 test 
before he buys the seed.

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 econoiiiical 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” 5ets—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.
