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 fine 
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 29. 
To Raise Early Green Onions. The best way is to plant sets or 
plants early in the spring but 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.

MOUNTAIN DANVERS. Early and Good Keepers. This is a very 
early maturing strain of yellow onion. The bulbs are of slightly flat¬ 
tened globe shape, deep yellow 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.

Produces enormous crops of long keeping onions. 
EBENEZER or “JAPANESE.” This onion is remarkably mild and 
- 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.

OHIO YELLOW GLOBE. For High Yields. This strain of Yellow 
Danvers onions has been bred up by growers in Ohio and is very 
popular there and in many other sections. The bulbs are slightly 
flattened on the bottom, but otherwise look the same as Yellow Globe 
Danvers. It has been found to be well adapted to muck land, and has a 
well deserved reputation for producing large crops.

If you want the largest and mildest onions, grow some of this kind. 
Year after year this variety has produced the largest and finest 
onions in our trial grounds and has shown most remarkable vigor and

grown in your own gardens but this is absolutely the case and anyone 
with reasonably good garden soil can grow them. Market gardeners 
and growers for the roadside stands, who have a particular and dis¬ 
criminating trade have found this a valuable variety. 
Seed sown in the open ground in the early spring will produce mag¬ 
nificent large globe shaped onions often weighing a pound or more and 
of very mild pleasant flavor.
