ONIONS 
To be sure of a good 
crop, sow none but the 
best seed—it may cost a 
little more than a cheap¬ 
er grade of seed, but it 
is worth more than the 
difference in the price.

Sow seed in February or March or as soon 
as the soil is ready. Onions do best in a 
well-drained, well fertilized soil, and must 
have a well prepared seed bed. Cover seed 
lightly and when plants are three to four 
inches high thin out enough that matured 
bulbs will not touch. Sow three to four 
jfe pounds to acre.

requirements, having a thin skin of purest 
whiteness. The flesh is crisp, fine grained, 
very white and mild. As soon as ripe the

WHITE BARLETTA

of its earliness. It is earlier than the White 
Queen. It is of a beautiful waxy white 
color and grows 1*4 inches in diameter and 
% of an inch thick, with finely formed 
bulbs, slightly flattened at the top. Its 
earliness will highly recommend its use as 
a substitute for onion sets. An excellent 
bunching and picking sort. Postpaid, pkt.
