Zweibel (Ger.) ONIONS Cipollo (It.) 
A packet of seed will sotv about 25 feet of row; an ounce 125 feet. 
It requires 6 lbs. of seed per acre. 
Onion Culture. Onions are raised from the seed and from sets or 
plants. Seed sown in early spring produces ripe onions in the fall, while sets 
or plants set out at the same time make green “bunching” onions in a few 
weeks and dry ripe onions in July or August. 
To raise good onions from seed the ground must be rich and in fine 
condition. Sow the seed as early as possible in rows 14 inches apart. Weed 
as soon as the onions appear and keep well cultivated. 
Large Spanish onions can be easily grown from plants. See next page. 
To Raise Early Green Onions. The usual way is to plant sets or 
plants early in the spring but they can be raised from seed sown the pre¬ 
vious year. White Welsh and Japanese Bunching are the best varieties. 
Our Onion Seed is all grown from carefully selected onions, all inferior 
ones being rejected. To get large crops of good, sound onions of good color 
and small tops you must have only the very best seed. Cheap, carelessly 
grown seed will not give such crops, even if it is fresh and germinates well. 
Yellow Varieties 
YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS. True Strain. We have a very fine 
strain of this popular variety which for uniformly fine shape and color 
and good keeping qualities we think has few equals in this country. This 
seed will produce onions of perfect globe shape with small necks and 
deep orange-yellow color. The flesh is creamy-white and of mild flavor. 
The onions are firm, keep well, grow to a good size and medium early.

BRIGHAM YELLOW GLOBE. Also called “Michigan” or “Michigan 
Onion.” We are pleased to offer the true strain of this fine muckland 
onion. They are a deep globe with a very heavy skin of excellent dark 
color. They mature about with Yellow Globe Danvers and are rapidly 
becoming one of the most popular varieties because of their ability to 
yield large crops and their remarkable keeping qualities.

OHIO YELLOW GLOBE. For High Yields. This strain of Yellow 
Danvers onions has been bred up by growers in Ohio and is very popular 
there and in many other sections. The bulbs are slightly flattened on 
the bottom, but otherwise look the same as Yellow Globe Danvers. It 
has been found to be well adapted to muck land, and has a well deserved 
reputation for producing large crops.

Southport Yellow Globe. When well grown on good soil this onion will 
produce heavy yields. The onions are of deep globe shape, good deep 
yellow color, very handsome in appearance and keep remarkably well. 
We have an extra selected strain of this variety which produces onions 
of uniform globe shape, deep yellow color and with small necks.

EBENEZER or “JAPANESE.” The Best Keeper. This onion is re¬ 
markably mild, tender and of very delicate flavor. It has such a fine 
reputation for quality in some localities where it has been grown for 
years that the onions command much higher prices than other kinds. 
While this variety can be readily raised from seed, its principal useful¬ 
ness is for producing early onions from sets. For this purpose it seems 
far superior to other kinds when ripe, dry onions are wanted earlier than 
they can be produced from seed. 
The onions are wonderfully firm and solid and will keep almost the 
year around. They are flattened in shape, of deep yellow color and of 
very mild flavor. See also next page under Onion Sets. 
Our stock is the true Ebenezer and much superior to many strains 
now offered. 
Harris ' Yellow Globe Danvers Onions 
Early Yellow Globe Onions 
Part of crop which yielded 14,000 bushels on ten acres. 
EARLY YELLOW GLOBE. True Strain. This new onion has rapidly 
attained great popularity as it will produce large beautiful globe onions, 
early and under adverse conditions. The onions are an attractive deep 
yellow color, nearly globe shape, unusually large and with a fine tight 
skin, making them very good keepers. Yields of 1,400 bu. per acre 
have been obtained with our stock of this variety.

MOUNTAIN DANVERS. Early and Good Keeper. This is a very 
early maturing strain of yellow onion which originated in the mountains 
of Colorado. The onions are of slightly flattened globe shape, deep yel¬ 
low color and very firm. They ripen two or three weeks earlier than 
Yellow Globe Danvers, and are valuable on this account. These onions 
are remarkable keepers and can be stored all winter. Not quite as large 
as Yellow Globe Danvers, but of good size and often profitable to grow.

RIVERSIDE SWEET SPANISH. A Sure Cropper. See photo In 
natural colors on page 8. These large mild, sweet Spanish onions 
can be raised almost anywhere in this country. Fine for the home and 
market. See also plants on next page.

Prizetaker. A large handsome globe shaped onion of bright yellow color 
and mild flavor. Single bulbs grown under favorable conditions some¬ 
times weigh over a pound. These onions can be grown with perfect 
success by sowing the seed in the ordinary way in the open ground, but 
require about two weeks longer to mature than Yellow Globe Danvers.

White Varieties 
SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE. Best for large white onions. The 
bulbs are of perfect globe shape, very firm and solid, perfectly white in 
color and of fine quality. In the hands of experienced growers this is a 
very profitable onion, and an excellent kind for home gardens where first 
class quality is appreciated. To get perfectly white onions the bulbs 
should be pulled as soon as matured and dried in the shade.

JAPANESE BUNCHING. For large ‘ ‘green” onions. When sown in 
the spring this new onion will produce large green onions early in the 
summer. It does not form a bulb but the onions are nearly twice as large 
as ordinary bunching onions and remain mild and sweet for a long time. 
These onions grow in clusters, three to five onions being on one plant. 
With little protection this onion will stand all winter and produce fine 
large “green” onions early in the spring.
