ONIONS FROM

You must plant sets or plants for 
early green onions. They are both easy 
to raise and very profitable, either 
pulled and sold as green onions or left 
to mature and sold late in the summer. 
It takes about 40,000 Bermuda 
Onion Plants or seven bushels of onion 
sets to plant an acre, with rows 16 
inches apart. 
• OKRA OR GUMBO 
White Velvet — Sow about the middle of 
spring in drills and thin the plants to a foot 
or more apart. Highly esteemed and cultivated 
for its green seed pods, which are used in 
soups or stewed and served like asparagus.

These may be planted early in the spring to be 
used for green onions, or can be allowed to grow, 
producing large onions very early. They are 
planted largely by market gardeners and allowed 
to grow full size on account of coming into the 
market when other onions are scarce; in this 
way, they realize the best price.

PARSNIPS 
1 Oz. for 1 50 Feet of Row; 4 Lbs. per Acre 
Parsnips are one of the best vegetables we 
have, and they get much sweeter after they are 
frozen; consequently it is much better to freeze 
them if you can before using. Have the boxes 
small enough so that you can remove one to the 
cellar at a time and use them up through the 
winter for fries and parsnip stews. 
Guernsey (Improved Half Long) —The 
roots do not grow so long as the Hollow Crown, 
but are of greater diameter and more easily 
gathered. The roots are very smooth; the flesh 
is fine grained and of most excellent quality

Dear Mr. Gurney: 
I had wonderful luck with the seed I pur¬ 
chased from you last year. Everything grew 
so well and in the fall I was the only one 
around here with a cellar full of vegetables. 
Sincerely, 
Mrs. Ray Johnson, Eckelson, N. D.

CULTURE: Peppers like a light, rich, warm 
soil for best results. They require about same 
treatment as tomatoes. Sow seed in hotbed early 
in April and transplant to open ground when 
weather is settled—or start seed outside after 
all danger of frost is past.

an inch, places this sweet pepper above all 
others. It is crisp and juicy, too, without a 
trace of pungency. Vigorous growing plants 
bear a heavy yield of blocky fruits that become 
as much as 5 inches long and 4 inches wide. 
They are unusually good for serving whole. It 
is a splendid new variety, which has proved
