POPULAR ONIONS FOR MARKET AND HOME USE 
NICHOLSON'S BETTER ONION SEED 
(Cebolla) 
If planting for big Onions sow one ounce of seed to 60 to 75 feet of drill, or 2% to 3 pounds per acre, in rows 12 
to 15 inches apart; for best results in growing large Onions, after they begin to bowl, carefully draw the dirt away from 
the Onion until bowl is covered about one-fourth inch, then take your garden hoe and smash the tops over on the ground; 
by doing this the strength all goes to the bowl and it develops very rapidly. If planting for green Onions, it requires 
about one ounce of seed to 25 or 30 feet of drill.

VEGETABLES FOR 
HEALTH'S SAKE 
Vegetables are vitally essential to our 
health and happiness. If we should limit 
our diet to only bread, meat, potatoes 
and sugar we would eventually suffer 
certain bad results, since a large por¬ 
tion of our earthly ills are due to faulty 
diet. Vegetables play such an important 
part in correcting ailments too, that 
they are indispensable in our daily diet. 
All vegetables contain minerals and for 
this reason are of great value as foods. 
They help to build bones, teeth, tissue 
and blood. Milk, fruits and vegetables 
furnish large shares of phosphorous, 
calcium and iron in our food. When 
combined with eggs, meats and grains 
they form a balanced diet.
