GROW 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.

A GOOD HOBBY 
Gardening is an excellent hobby for anyone, 
but especially so for the business or profes- 
sional man who toils all day in office, bank, 
factory or shop—and the change to the light 
physical labor in the open air and bright sun- 
shine gives him just the needed change neces- 
sary for health of both body and mind. This is 
to say nothing of the economy and fun he gets 
in producing his own vitamin-filled and garden- 
fresh vegetables of unimpaired and delightful 
flavor.
