Onion Plants 
All plants are grown in open field, thereby assuring 
strong, hardy plants. They are tied in bunches of about 
100 plants and packed 60 bunches to the crate. Planting 
about 3 inches apart in 16-inch rows will require 100,000 
plants to the acre. Please write for prices about April 1. 
We expect to have White Wax, Yellow Bermuda, Sweet 
Spanish and Prizetaker plants ready about April 10th.

ONIONS 
Gould's Minnesota Globe Onions 
Everywhere Globe Onions bring the best prices and 
since our Minnesota Red, Yellow and White strains are 
the most highly developed of all Globes, we confidently 
recommend them to growers who want onions that will 
top the market. 
CULTURE. Sow just as early as possible, that is, when 
the ground can be worked up nicely. Have your seedbed 
in perfect shape, for onions are slow in coming up and 
require close cultivation. It is sometimes advisable to 
mix a few radish seeds with your onion seed so as to 
allow for earlier cultivation. One ounce of seed will 
sow 200 feet in drill % inch to 1 inch deep, 4 to 5 pounds 
of seed to an acre drilled 13 to 14 inches apart for hand 
cultivation or 20 to 22 inches apart for cultivating with 
tractor. Cultivate often. Do not allow soil to bake. 
All onions and other vegetable varieties best suited for
