Onion, Early Yellow Globe 
~ ONION 
ie our selecting operations particular attention is paid to ripening down and keeping 
quality. 
Our bulbs are subjected to a long storage period to eliminate any occasional poor 
keeping individuals before planting the mother bulbs in the spring for stock seed. 
The trials of onion, at our Experimental Gardens near Detroit, are always planted 
about May ist. The earlier varieties such as Early Yellow Globe are always fully 
mature in 115 days or less and the late varieties about 2 weeks later, that is, the latter 
part of September. 
Our stocks of onions are superior in every respect.
