inches high, thin out plants to 4 inches to permit the bulbs to develop. Cultivate frequently to keep weeds out.

fine grained and real white. Very thin, white skin. 
Genesee Yellow Globe. A selected strain of Southport Yellow. A deep yellow or

gardener. Very productive. Good color, cures well and therefore a good 
keeper.
