winter use. Sow the seed thinly in rows 12 to 18 inches apart, and thin them 
rigorously to 4 inches apart in the row. Cultivate continuously and thoroughly 
and fertilize heavily in order to produce the best bulbs. 
YELLOW VARIETIES 
Ebenezer or Japanese. A handsome variety, somewhat like Yellow Globe 
Danvers in size but superior to it in flavor and a better keeper. 
Extra-Early Yellow Globe. This is one of the finest Onions. It is a 
fine-flavored variety but should be used soon after harvesting, as it 
does not keep well.

in diameter if given the right kind of care. The light straw-yellow

symmetrical bulbs within three months after planting. It has 
coppery yellow skin with pure white, firm, sweet flesh.
