Onions for Home and Market 
One package of seed will sow 20 feet of row; 1 ounce, 200 feet; 4 to 5 pounds, an acre 
As early in the spring as possible, sow the seed in rich soil in rows 10 to 15 inches 
apart, covering 34 inch deep and firming earth well down. When plants are well 
started, cultivate and weed. Thin to 3 inches apart in the rows as spring Onions 
are required for the table. For a very early crop, sow the seed in the coldframe 
in February and transplant when large enough. 
PRIZETAKER. The largest of all Onions—often 15 to 18 inches in circumference. 
A very desirable fall and early winter variety, often offered on the fruit-stands

mild, and sweet. Specially large bulbs may be had by starting the seed under 
glass in January, February, or March and transplanting to the open ground in 
April. Give them plenty of room, for they require 4 to 5 inches to grow in.

The Garden Huckleberry 
These “Pie Berries” grow big, strong plants that bear quan¬ 
tities of fruit the same season that you sow the seed. Some 
call them “Sun Berries,” others “Wonder Berries.” Down in 
Wayne County, N. Y., where we saw them first, they call 
them Seed Huckleberries, first because they grow and bear 
from seed the first year and Huckleberries for the reason 
that pies made from them rival the most delicious Huckle¬ 
berry pies that you ever tasted. These “Pie Berries” are not 
a freak; they are just a mighty good garden fruit, bearing 
freely and needing little care or space. Pkg. (50 seeds) 15c; 
2 pkgs. 25c.
