Onions 
Onions are very hardy, and the seeds will germinate in 
cool weather. They can be safely planted just as soon as the 
soil can be prepared. Shallow planting is advisable, !A to V 2 
inch being about right. When 2 or 3 inches tall, the young 
plants can be thinned to prevent crowding. They may be 
thinned again when 6 or 8 inches tall, and the plants re¬ 
moved can be used as green onions. After that, thev can be 
pulled as needed, and those that are left to become fully 
ripe can be stored for winter.

ONION SETS 
One quart of sets will plant 100 feet of row. 
YELLOW DANVERS SETS 
Our Onion Sets will produce Onions much earlier than by 
sowing the seeds, which frequently permits the planter to 
sow another crop on the land the same year. For green or 
bunch Onions, Sets will produce a crop in half the time it 
takes to raise them from seed. Plant Onion Sets near the sur¬ 
face in drills 1 foot apart and 2 inches in the rows. They re¬ 
quire the highest culture to obtain the best results. 
EBENEZER OR JAPANESE SETS 
By the use of these Sets large ripe Onions of the finest 
quality can be easily raised. Sets of this variety rarely produce 
seed stalks as other kinds do. 
WHITE SETS (SILVERSKIN) 
These make nice-looking and fine-flavored Onions to eat 
while young. They also produce good large mature Onions of 
fine quality. 
Market prices on application. If wanted by mail, add 10 
cts. per pound for postage, each additional pound 1 ct. 
Garlic 
BULBS 
As an appetizing dash of flavoring for soups and stews, 
many people use small quantities of this pear-shaped white 
bulb. In large amounts it has a strong odor and flavor. To 
grow garlic in the garden, the several sections or “cloves” 
of each bulb should be separated and set in rows 1 0 or 12 
inches apart and 4 inches apart in the row. They should be 
taken up in the fall and stored in a cool, dry place until used.
