ONIONS 
AMERICAN GROWN SEED 
1 ounce for 100 feet of drill, 6 pounds for one acre 
Culture —For sets, sow the seeds early as possible in the Spring, very thickly in drills. As soon as the tops dry off in the Summer remove 
them to a dry, airy place, and early in the following Spring replant by placing the sets in shallow drills 12 in. apart and about 4 in. apart 
in the drills; the Onions of this process obtained are of large size early in the season, also will be grown to full size during the first season 
by sowing thinly in drills 1 ft. apart and about 34 in. deep in March or in early April, in strong land, well manured, and thinning them out 
to stand 3 or 4 ip. apart in the drills. About 100 days. 
Prizetaker. This is the large, pale yellow Onion that is offered for 
sale in fruit stores and markets in the Fall. It grows to a very 
large size; flesh white, of mild and delicate flavor. The large 
Onions are raised the first year from seed, and with ordinary cul¬ 
ture produce enormous crops. The Onions sometimes go over 3 lbs. 
each in weight where good soil and culture is given them. Our seed 
is pure and genuine. Pkt. 10c., oz. 20c., 34 lb. 60c., lb. $2.00. 
Large Red Wethersfield. Grows to full size the first season from 
seed; almost round, large size, deep red color, and keeps well. 
Pkt. 10c., oz. 20c., 34 lb. 50c., lb. $1.75. 
Australian Brown. A brown skinned Onion which grows to a good 
size the first season. Pkt. 10c., oz. 20c., 34 lb- 60c., lb. $2.00.

excellent for Winter use; much esteemed for pickling when small.

Southport White Globe. The earliest of the Southport Globes, 
perfecting a very handsome product within 90 days from sowing 
seeds. The bulbs are pure white and of a very mild flavor, also 
equally as good for keeping as the Yellow Globe. The flesh is 
remarkably firm and solid. It is an enormous yielder and as it is 
very attractive, always sells at high prices. Pkt. 10c., oz. 25c., 
34 lb. 90c., lb. $3.00. 
White Bermuda. They are of a mild and delicate flavor, and keep 
longer than any foreign variety. They will produce full grown

Onions. Pkt. 10c., oz. 20c., 34 lb. 75c., lb. $2.50.

Used for an early crop of Onions, and should be planted 
just as soon as the ground can be worked. Press the 
bulb lightly in the ground and do not cover; in rows 
12 in. apart, 2 in. apart in the row; so that all the de¬ 
velopment goes in the Onion \ on signs of their going to 
seed, bend the top over, but do not break it off. They 
can be harvested in this locality for Winter storage as 
early as July 10th. The advantage in planting sets lies 
in the fact that the young Onion is ready in 5 weeks from 
time of planting, while those grown from seed cannot 
be used until well in the Autumn. Shipped on local 
orders about March 1st, unless otherwise requested.
