ONION SEED 
CULTURE —The Onion thrives best in a 
rather deep, rich, loamy soil, and unlike most 
vegetables, succeeds when cultivated on the 
same ground for successive years. Although 
onions are often raised from sets, but by far 
the best and cheapest mode of production is 
from seed. The facility with which seed is 
sown and the superior bulbs it produces, 
recommend it for general use. 
As early in spring as ground can be worked, 
sow in rich soil, thoroughly pulverized and 
leveled, in rows twelve to fifteen inches apart, 
covering one-half inch deep. When the plants 
are well up, cultivate and keep free from. 
weeds. The young plants may be thinned 
about one inch apart in the row. When grown 
for bunching, the rows can be made as close 
as ten inches. 
THE THREE SOUTHPORT GLOBES 
No onions are more favored in the great 
onion producing sections than the 3 Southport 
types of Globe onions named below. They 
produce^ large crops of onion bulbs, with fine 
shape, magnificent color * and good flavor. 
Their excellent keeping qualities recommend
