299. AUSTRALIAN BROWN. With- 
out any exception the most solid and longest- 
keeping onion grown. In season it is one of 
the earliest and will ripen anywhere. It is 
often used for replanting when first sowings 
have been injured by weather conditions, Its 
extreme solidity is shown by the fact that a 
measured bushel will weigh several pounds 
more than the standard legal weight for a 
bushel of onions. A good variety to grow 
for sets. PKt., 10c; 0z., 40c; % 1b., $1.15;

283. CRYSTAL WAX BERMUDA. A 
Bermuda onion. One of the most attractive 
varieties. It is large, flat, pure white, very 
early, mild in flavor; in fact can be eaten 
like an apple. Can be grown under northern 
conditions and is very fine for slicing. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 40c; % Ib., $1.15; Ib., $3.50, post-

"PICKLING ONIONS 
302. WHITE BARLETTA. A very 
early beautiful white, small, mild onion. Used 
exclusively for pickling. The skin is very 
white and exceptionally thin. PkKt., 15c; oz.,

Perhaps no crop brings as high 
returns from an acre of ground as 
onions. They demand intense cul- 
tivation and a lot of handwork. 
Therefore, a small grower has just 
as much chance of making good 
on this crop as a large grower. 
With a crop of this type, however, 
you must be absolutely sure of 
haying the best seed obtainable. 
Our seed is from onion bulbs which 
are grown exclusively for seed pur- 
poses. We do not think there are 
any stocks better. 
CULTURE: As early as possi- 
ble, sow thinly in rows one foot 
later to 3 or 4 
inches apart. Keep the surface of 
the ground open and free from 
weeds, using fertilizer if you want 
a maximum yield. When the bulk 
of the tops have turned yellow and 
have fallen over, the onions are 
ready to harvest. They should be 
pulled at this time and left to lie 
in small piles for a couple of days 
and then removed to an airy shed. 
When. cool weather arrives store 
in a cool, dry root cellar. Time 
required to raise matured onions 
varies greatly in different sections 
so we are not giving a schedule of
