liked spinach. Sow seed very shallow in any good garden soil 
early in the spring, in rows V /2 to 2 feet apart, and when well 
up thin out the plants so as to stand 8 to 10 inches apart. 
Several sowings a week or so apart give tender leaves through¬

Onions 
German—Zwiebel. Spanish—Cebolla. 
Italian—Cipollo. 
Culture: A crop of onions can be grown on any good 
soil but of couse with fertilizer better results will be ob¬ 
tained. The ground should be plowed and well worked and 
pulverized, allowing no lumps or trash to mar the surface. 
The seed can be sown in the spring, just as soon as the 
ground can be prepared, as onion seed will germinate in 
cool weather, that is, the end of February or first of March. 
Sow about Ya inch deep and in rows 12 to 16 inches apart. 
The quantity of seed needed will vary with the soil. As soon 
as they show through the ground give them a good light 
hoeing, and repeat again in a few days, after which weeding 
must be done, and must be repeated whenever weeds ap¬ 
pear until the tops lie down, then they should be topped 
and the bulbs allowed to dry before sacking. For extra large 
bulbs, thin out gradually so that they stand 3 to 4 inches 
apart. 
White Varieties 
Mammoth Silver King. With the exception of White 
Sweet Spanish, it is the largest silverskin onion grown 
but it is not early. It matures along with Danvers Yellow 
Globe and produces a large, almost round, solid bulb that 
can be stored for winter use. But on account of its large, 
perfect shape and pure white color, it is planted extensive¬ 
ly as a boiling onion in which case it is pulled green and 
bunched. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; 34 lb., 75c; 1 lb., #2.75; 
5 lbs., #9.50; 10 lbs., #18.00, postpaid. 
White Portugal or Silverskin.
