DUTHIE SEED CO. 
Onions 
One ounce of seed* for 200 ft. of drill; 4 to 5 
lbs. per acre. 
Onions are highly prized for their tonic qualities, 
and doctors everywhere are advocating the use of 
them in the diet. 
A good, well-drained soil, reasonably fertile and 
well pulverized, will give the best crops. Cover the 
seed lightly and thin the seedlings when they are 
3 inches tall, so that they will have room to de¬ 
velop freely. When the bulbs have reached maturity, 
bend down the tops to hasten ripening before the 
Onions are harvested.
