A packet of seed will sow about 25 feet of row: an ounce 125 feet. It requires 6 lbs. of seed per acre. 
Onion Culture. Onions are raised from the seed and from sets or 
plants. Seed sown in early spring produces ripe onions in the fall, while 
sets or plants set out at the same time make green’ ‘bunching" onions in a 
few weeks and dry ripe onions in July or August. 
To raise good onions from seed the ground must be rich and in tine 
condition. Sow the seed as early as possible in rows 14 inches apart. Weed 
as soon as the onions appear and keep well cultivated. 
Large Spanish onions can be easily grown from plants. See page 31. 
To Raise Early Green Onions. The best way is to plant sets or 
plants early in the spring hul they can be raised from seed sown the pre¬ 
vious fall. White Welsh and Japanese Bunching are the best varieties for 
fall sowing. 
Our Onion Seed is all grown from carefully selected onions. To get 
large crops of good, sound onions of good color and small tops you must 
have only the very best seed. Cheap, carelessly grown seed will not give 
such crops, even if it is fresh and germinates well.

early maturing strain of yellow onion which originated in the mountains 
of Colorado. The onions are of slightly flattened globe shape, deep yel¬ 
low color and very firm. They ripen two or three weeks earlier than 
Yellow Globe Danvers, and are valuable on this account. These onions 
are remarkable keepers and can be stored all winter.

well deserved reputation for producing large crops.

RIVERSIDE SWEET SPANISH. 
Large Sweet Onions in 
Your Own Garden. If 
you want the largest and mildest onions, grow some of this kind. 
This variety has produced the largest and finest onions in our trial 
grounds which included all the standard kinds and have shown most 
remarkable vigor and resistance to disease and insect pests. 
It may seem incredible that these large mild Spanish onions can be 
grown in your own gardens but this is absolutely the case. 
Any one with reasonably good garden soil can grow these fine onions. 
Market gardeners and growers for the roadside stands, who have a 
particular and discriminating trade have found this a valuable variety. 
Seed sown in the open ground in the early spring will produce 
magnificent large globe shaped onions often weighing a pound or more 
and of very mild pleasant flavor. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; fi Lb. 85c: Lb. $2.75. 
Note: Fine large onions of this variety can also be grown earlier by 
setting out plants. See under Onions Plants on page 31. 
FRFNE7FR or “JAPANESE.” This onion is remarkably mild, 
__tender and of very delicate flavor. It has such a fine 
reputation for quality in some localities where it has been grown for 
years that the onions command much higher prices than other kinds. 
While this variety can be readily raised from seed, its principal use¬ 
fulness is for producing early onions from sets. For this purpose it 
seems far superior to other kinds when ripe, dry onions are wanted 
earlier than they can be produced from seed. 
The onions are wonderfully firm and solid and will keep almost the 
year around. They are flattened in shape, of deep yellow color and of 
very mild flavor. See also next page under Onion Sets. 
Our stock is the true Ebenezer and much superior to many strains.
