quill, transplant mto a prepared bed, 4 to 5 
inches apart in the rows. Set the roots deep 
and draw the earth to them when cultivating, 
so that they may be well blanched by the 
time they are fit for use. 85 days.

best for winter use.

ONIONS 
American-grown Seeds 
Sow 1 ounce of seed to 100 feet of drill; 
6 pounds to an acre 
Cutture. For sets, sow the seed as early 
as possible in the spring, very thickly in drills. 
As soon as the tops dry off in the summer, 
remove them to a dry, airy place, and early 
in the following spring replant by placing 
the sets in shallow drills 1 foot apart and 
about 4 inches apart in the drills. The Onions 
obtained by this process are of large size 
early in the season: also can be grown to full 
size during the first season by sowing thinly 
in drills 1 foot apart and about 4 inch deep 
in March or in early April, m strong land, 
well manured, and thinning them out to 
stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the drills. About 
100 days. 
Large Red Wethersfield. Grows to full size 
the first season from seed. Almost round, 
large, deep red, and keeps well. 
Prizetaker. Flesh white, of mild and deli- 
cate flavor. Large Onions are raised the 
first year from seed, and with ordinary 
culture produce enormous crops. The 
Onions sometimes go over 3 pounds under 
good culture and the white flesh is of mild 
and delicate flavor. 
Southport White Globe. Perfects a very 
handsome product within 90 days from 
sowing seed. The bulbs are pure white, of 
a very mild flavor, and splendid keepers. 
The flesh is remarkably firm and solid. It 
is an enormous yielder and as it Is very 
attractive, always sells at high prices. 
White Bermuda. They are of a mild and 
delicate flavor, and keep a long time. Will 
produce full-grown Onions from seed the 
same season. 
White Silverskin. Ripens early; large, 
mild in flavor, and excellent for winter use. 
Much esteemed for pickling when small. 
Yellow Globe Danvers. One of the most 
extensively used yellow Onions.
