bed and plant the seed % inch deep, 
the rows about 16 inches apart. Cul¬ 
tivate shallow and often. Get the 
weeds while they are small. 
® SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE 
(110 days to maturity)—We consider this the 
most profitable of the onions for planting in the 
north. Brings the best price on the market of 
any of the red onions. Its large size, dark, glossy 
red color and the fact that it is one of the best 
keepers makes it very desirable. We would 
advise that you make the bulk of your planting 
Southport Red Globes. This variety has given as 
high as 900 bushels per acre, and is the leading 
market onion in the north. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c,

1 on Front Cover jf 
This is absolutely the largest and 
mildest onion that can be grown 
from seed in the north. Single 
onions have been grown that 
weighed over four pounds. These 
enormous onions are a beautiful 
golden yellow, perfect globe shape 
and the very sweetest and mildest 
onions you have ever tasted. Yields 
from 500 to 1000 bushels per acre 
are not uncommon. At the meet¬ 
ing of the South Dakota Horti¬ 
cultural Society, the Yellow Sweet 
Spanish Onion was highly recom¬ 
mended, outyielding all other 
onions. The mild flavor and fine 
appearance make them salable at 
the highest market price. Pkt., 6c; 
oz., 25c; !4 lb., 70c; 1 lb., $2.10; 
4 lbs., $7.75 Postpaid. 
® PR1ZETAKER 
(110 days to maturity)—This is 
the largest of the American onions, 
the most handsome; and mildest in 
flavor. Our seed stock of this onion 
is pure American grown and pro¬ 
duces the largest and handsomest onion we have 
ever seen, many of the bulbs weighing as high 
as 3 lbs. each. Skin rich golden color, and so 
mild and sweet it can be eaten raw like an apple. 
This onion is a reasonably good keeper, but should 
be disposed of by January 1st. We strongly urge 
the planting of a reasonable acreage of this 
variety, as it will certainly prove profitable. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 'A lb., 65c; 1 lb., $1.75, 
4 lbs., $6.50 Postpaid. 
® SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE 
(110 days to maturity) — The true Southport 
Yellow Globe is particularly valuable for winter 
market. It is a more perfect globe than the 
Yellow Globe Danvers and a better keeper. The 
onions are similar in size and form to the South- 
port Red Globe, but have a pale straw yellow 
skin, mild flavor and a heavy cropper. Owing to 
its handsome appearance and delightful flavor it 
sells readily on all markets. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 
'A lb., 70c; 1 lb., $1.85; 4 lbs., $7.00 Postpaid. 
® GURNEY’S DAKOTA RED GLOBE 
The parentage of this onion is strictly South- 
port Red Globe, but has been grown in Dakota 
for a number of years, and by careful selection of 
the bulbs we have produced an onion that is 
very uniform in size, very dark red in color, a 
perfect globe, and quite a bit earlier than any 
other globe onion. We consider this one of the 
most profitable onions for the people of the 
Northwest to plant. The seed will cost you a 
little more money than the others, but a few 
cents per acre are more than made up by the 
results in the fall. Pkt., 7c; oz., 25c; A lb., 75c; 
lb., $1.25; 1 lb., $2.25; 41bs., $8.00. Postpaid. 
• LARGE RED WETHERSFIELD 
(100 days to maturity.) One of 
the old standard varieties and a 
favorite onion especially in the 
West, where immense crops are 
grown for shipment. Large size, 
skin deep purplish red, form round, 
somewhat flat, flesh purplish white, 
moderately fine grained, and 
stronger in flavor than most other 
kinds. Very productive, best keep¬ 
er, it is the best of any variety on 
poor or dry soil. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; 
A lb., 65c; 1 lb., $1.80; 4 lbs., 
$6.75 Postpaid. 
You cannot plant a crop on your farm that will produce more 
dollars per acre than an acre of onions. Yields will run from 300 
to 1000 bushels per acre depending on the season and care. 
Onions sell from 50c to $1.50 per bushel. Figure the cost of pro¬ 
duction as high as you please and still you could not come within a 
mile of the gross profit with any other crop. 
Plant as many onions as you can 
take care of. Your profits will take 
care of you.
