Onions have a prominent place in the vegetable 
gardens of America. They are highly prized for 
their tonic qualities. Raw or cooked, alone or in 
combination with other vegetables, they are 
wholesome and nutritious. As an appetizer, they 
have no equal, and many housewives’ cherished 
recipes would be incomplete without them. Our 
strains are grown from mature Onions which 
have been carefully inspected as to type and excel 
in productiveness and uniform quality. 
Culture. A good, well-drained soil, reasonably fertile, will 
gave the best crops. September and October are the prin¬ 
cipal planting months. Sow in seed-beds and when 5 to 7 
inches high transplant in rows 12 to 15 inches apart and 
3 to 4 inches apart in the row. In some sections the seed 
is sown directly in the field in rows 18 to 20 inches apart. 
Cultivate every 10 days to keep down weeds and conserve 
Onions should be pulled when the tops in the field have 
fallen over and dried considerably. Allow them to dry on 
the ground and then place in shallow racks with slat bot¬ 
toms which permit free circulation of air. When fully dried 
the tops may be wrung off and the Onions graded. Normal 
yields between 100 and 400 bushels per acre. One ounce 
plants 200 feet of row; 3 to 4 pounds, an acre.
