ONION 
1 pkt. will sow 50 ft. of drill; 1 oz. about 200 ft.; 4 to 
5 lbs. per acre. 
Onions are very healthful and wholesome, probably 
used more often in the kitchen than any other vegetable, 
either in connection with other foods for seasoning or 
in many of the delicious ways to prepare them for their 
own tempting goodness. Highly prized for their tonic 
qualities, and doctors everywhere recommend the use of 
onions in the diet because they are wholesome and nu- 
tritious. 
Onions are not hard to grow. They like a clean, rich 
soil. Sow as early as possible in drills 1 foot apart. 
Ailsa Crai Of mammoth size, larger than the Prizetaker, 
g oval-shaped, pale straw colored skin; of very 
mild flavor. Extra large onions can, however, be obtained 
by sowing seed early in the spring in the hotbed and 
transplasting to the open ground. Pkt., 10e. 
This is a yellow, globe-shaped on- 
* 
arly Yellow Globe ion with a fine yellow color, a good

* The standard variety for winter 
Yellow Globe Danvers use in the eastern markets. 
Produces well-ripened bulbs, averaging two inches in 
diameter. Skin light golden brown or pale yellow, flesh 
pure white, crisp, and mild in flavor. The plants have 
very slender necks, and consequently the bulbs keep 
well over winter. On account of their attractive shape 
and color and their excellent keeping qualities, they 
always bring a good price in the markets. Selected strain.
