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. 
OUR PRICES for our high quality, strong-germinating Onion Seed are the lowest they have been lor years. 
And you get the extra discount also (see it on page 3).
