ONION SEED 
Culture Sow in rich, well drained soil early in the 
spring, and cover a half inch deep. When large enough, 
thin out to allow plenty of room for growth, as nice bulbs 
will not grow if crowded. An ounce will sow 200 feet of 
row; 5 pounds per acre, although 10 to 12 pounds may be 
used on ground where onions have been grown steadily for 
years. 
YELLOW SORTS 
PRIZETAKER This grows a very large bulb weigh¬ 
ing in some cases as much as two pounds. Its 
color is a light straw color, and grows to a uni¬ 
form shape, which is almost a perfect globe. About 
100 days to maturity. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 54 lb., 
75c; lb., $2.50. 
SWEET SPANISH (Valencia) This variety is 
largely grown in the Southwest. It is the largo 
Spanish type, globe shape, bright golden yellow. 
The flavor is very mild, and the shape very uni¬ 
form. Very high yields may be expected from 
this variety. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 54 lb., $1.00; 
lb., $3.50. 
Prizetaker 
Sweet Spanish 
JAPANESE Introduced by Woodruff in 1916—We 
are justly proud of this onion which has proved to be 
the best yellow onion for sets, of which we grow and 
sell many carloads each year. The bulb is yellow, 
rather more flat than globe, and a very good keeper. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; 54 lb., $1.00; lb., $3.00. 
MOUNTAIN DANVERS Without doubt this new 
onion is one of the best ever introduced. It is flat¬ 
tened slightly, but is a globe type. The color is a 
beautiful dark yellow, and the skin is thick, making 
the onion a very fine one for storage. It is unusually 
solid, and matures quite early, being ready in about 
100 days from sowing the seed. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 
% lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50. 
MEDIUM EARLY GLOBE An attractive, dark yellow 
skinned onion, of slightly flattened globe type. Keeps 
well and is earlier than Danvers or Southport Yellow 
Globes. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; >4 lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50.
