Looking Over Some Early Yellow Globe Onions with 
John Wiater on the Muck at Elba, N. Y. 
ONIONS 
One package of seed will sow 20 feet of row; 1 ounce, 200 feet; 4 to 5 pounds, an acre. 
As early in the spring as possible, sow the seed in rich soil in rows 10 to 15 inches apart, 
covering 14 inch deep and firming earth well down. 
When plants are well started, cultivate and 
weed. Thin to 3 inches apart in the rows as spring Onions are required for the table. For a very 
early crop, sow the seed in the cold frame in February and transplant when large enough. 
Danvers Yellow Globe. A main-crop yellow 
Onion for the home and market garden. It is 
fairly large in size, uniformly globe-shaped, 
with small neck, and ripens very evenly. Skin 
is rich coppery yellow. The creamy white flesh 
is crisp, mild, and excellently flavored. Keeps 
especially well and is excellent for shipping.

Early Yellow Globe. Early, large, globe- 
shaped, and good color. Flesh pure white, very 
mild in flavor, sweet, juicy. The bulbs keep 
well, and are very popular with commercial 
Onion growers in New York State.

good keeper.

Michigan Brigham Yellow Globe. Also 
called ‘‘Michigan Onion.’’ We have given much 
attention to this Onion, and find it is a great 
yielder and fine keeper. The bulbs are large, 
heavy, slightly deeper than broad. Skin is rich 
orange-yellow; the flesh snowy white, firm and 
mild in flavor. Our verdict is that Brigham 
Yellow Globe is valuable for both home and 
market gardeners. 
Pkg. 15¢; 2 oz. 40c; oz. 70c; 1/4 Ib. $2.10 
Prizetaker. A Giant in Size, Delightfully 
Mild in Flavor. Keeps exceedingly well. The 
largest of all Onions—often 15 to 18 inches 
in circumference. A very desirable fall and 
early winter variety, often offered on the fruit 
stands as Spanish Onions. Skin is thin, bright 
straw-yellow; flesh pure white, crisp, mild, and 
sweet. One of the finest of the table Onions. 
Give them plenty of room, for they require 4 
to 5 inches space on account of size.

popularity as a commercial Onion is growing
