ONION SEED 
Culture Sow in rich, well drained soil early in the spring, 
and cover a half inch deep. When large enough, thin out to 
allow plenty of room for growth, as nice bulbs will not grow 
if crowded. An ounce will sow 200 feet of row; 5 pounds per 
acre, although 10 to 12 pounds may be used on ground where 
onions have been grown steadily for years. 
YELLOW SORTS 
PRIZETAKER This grows a very large bulb weighing 
in some cases as much as two pounds. Its color is 
a light straw color, and grows to a uniform shape, 
which is almost a perfect globe. About 100 days to 
maturity. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 34 lb., 75c; lb., $2.50. 
SWEET SPANISH (Valencia) This variety is largely 
grown in the Southwest. It is the large Spanish type, 
globe shape, bright golden yellow. The flavor is very 
mild, and the shape very uniform. Very high yields 
may be expected from this variety. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
30c; 34 lb., 75c; lb., $2.50. 
EARLY YELLOW GLOBE This is our latest onion 
introduction. It is a fine globe shaped onion with a 
beautiful yellow color. Further, it is a splendid 
winter keeper, and will stand storage better than most 
early sorts, as its skin is very thick. As to maturity, 
it can be put on the market fully three weeks earlier 
than the Danvers or Southport strains of yellow 
globe, and yields very heavily. 
On several occasions seed onion crops have been a 
failure except EARLY YELLOW GLOBE, which 
produced a fine crop of good sized onions that 
brought a price much above market. Sold Out. 
JAPANESE Introduced by Wodruff in 1916-—We 
are justly proud of this onion which has proven to be 
the best yellow onion for sets, of which we grow and 
sell many carloads each year. The bulb is yellow, 
rather more flat than globe, and a very good keeper. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; 34 lb., $1.00; lb., $3.00. 
Woodruff's Early Yellow Globe 
MOUNTAIN DANVERS Without doubt this new 
onion is one of the best ever introduced. It is flat¬ 
tened slightly, but is a globe type. The color is a 
beautiful dark yellow, and the skin is thick, making 
the onion a very fine one for storage. It is unusually 
solid, and matures quite early, being ready in about 
100 days from sowing the seed. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; 
K lb., $1.00; lb., $3.00. 
MEDIUM EARLY GLOBE An attractive, dark yellow 
skinned onion, of slightly flattened globe type. Keeps 
well and is earlier than Danvers or Southport Yellow 
Globes. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; 34 lb-, $1.00; lb., $3.00.
