Onions, as far as the camera’s eye could see! The magnificent results of planting Schell’s Quality Seeds are again another proof 
that they grow better and they yield better. These young ladies know quality Onions when they grow them, and know how to handle 
them, too. 
HOW TO GROW ONIONS. For sets (to plant the following spring), sow in rows 12 
to 15 inches apart early in the spring, in soil well prepared and worked fine. Sow seed 
thick, 50 pounds to the acre. If not thick, then they grow too large. When ripe, gather, 
cure and store them in a dark, dry, cool, airy place. Leave undisturbed until next spring. 
For “picklers” sow 25 to 30 pounds per acre. For large Onions, sow 10 pounds to the acre. 
Sow seed early in spring in rows 12 to 15 inches apart, same as for sets, but make soil as 
rich as possible, for Onions are strong feeders, and to grow the largest size it is necessary 
to have the plant-food there to feed them. Wizard Brand Sheep Manure is splendid (we have it). Thin to about 2 inches apart 
in the rows. Keep clear of weeds. Harvest when the tops die down. One ounce will sow a row 100 feet long. Big crops require 
good soil and lots of water.

ivcu/ iiiuii. l ilsiv r mc/iltu. This very excellent new variety is larger than the Riverside Sweet Spanish and the 
Prizetaker. It is darker in color, a better keeper, thicker skinned, and is, as far as we know, the best variety yet introduced for 
withstanding the attack of thrip. Perfect globe shape, and the strain has been bred so true that there are practically no off-color 
bulbs. Season is slightly longer than Sweet Spanish. Under ordinarily good growing conditions, with proper moisture, it will prove 
a tremendous yielder. Sow seed carefully, not too thick, about 2 ]/% to 3 pounds per acre. Pkt. 10 cts.; y 2 oz. 25 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; 
2 ozs. 70 cts.; y^lb. $1; lb. $3.50.
