ONION 
Sow 2% pounds in seed-bed to plant an acre, 
or plant 5 pounds per acre in field 
For the garden sow 1% ounce in seed-bed for 350 to 450 
plants to set 80 feet of row or plant one ounce to 80 feet 
of row for a family of 3 or 4 people. 
Seed supply of all varieties very limited. 
Cutture. First plantings are made the first of September 
and continued until March. September and October are the 
best months to plant. In Florida, the seed is generally planted 
in the open field, where the onions are to grow, in rows 18 
inches apart, and when 4 to 5 inches high they are thinned out 
to 2 to 3 inches apart in the drill. Those taken out can be used 
to transplant any possible skips. Onion seed can also be 
planted in seed-beds and transplanted to the field later. This 
is a safe and sure method, and is becoming more popular in 
Florida. Transplanting generally produces less splits and more 
first grade onions, and requires less seed to plant a given acre- 
age. Onions do best in a sandy loam or muck soil, and re- 
quire at least a ton of a 4-7-5 fertilizer mixture per acre for 
sandy soils or 1,000 to 1,200 lbs. of 3-8-8 mixture on muck. 
The number of days in parentheses after each variety indi- 
cates the time from planting of seed in the field or garden to 
mature bulbs under average Florida conditions.

Early Grano or Babosa Onions 
EARLY GRANO OR BABOSA. (100 days.) This onion is 
earlier than the Sweet Spanish, which it somewhat resembles 
in shape, color and quality. Bulbs are of light brown or cream 
color, globe or mostly top-shaped, slightly tapering toward the 
root, of large size, with pure white flesh. Exceedingly mild in 
flavor with a very sweet taste. Quite resistant to thrips. This 
is the best yellow onion for Florida and the South, and is more 
resistant to bolting or premature seeding and splitting than 
other varieties. In our trials, this variety shows more promise 
as one especially suited to Florida growing conditions than 
does any other variety. 
Seed supply extremely limited.

LARGE YELLOW SWEET SPANISH. (110 days.) This is 
the finest strain of this sort ever introduced. The mature bulbs 
usually weigh one and one-quarter pounds and measure four 
inches in diameter. They are perfectly globular in shape, light 
glossy yellow in color, and are exceedingly attractive in ap- 
pearance. The bulbs are very mild and sweet, and are of ex- 
ceptionally fine quality. This strain is particularly well adapt- 
ed to Florida sandy loam soils. Not recommended for muck.

RED BERMUDA. (Imported; Canary Islands Grown.) 
(95 days.) This variety stands the high temperature and hu- 
midity of Florida better than other varieties, and also is a bet- 
ter keeper than other Bermudas and not so subject to splitting. 
The onions are of medium to large size, flat, with mild sweet 
flavor. The color is a deep red.

PARSLEY 
Plant 1 ounce to 150 feet of row, or 3 pounds per acre. 
In the garden plant 1 packet to 50 feet of row for a 
family of 3 or 4 people. 
CuLture. Parsley can be planted in the fall or spring, in 
drills 15 to 18 inches apart, and thin to 6 to 8 inches in the row. 
Seed is very hard to germinate and it often takes from two 
to three weeks to produce a satisfactory stand. Leaves used to 
flavor and add color to soups, stews, sauces, and to garnish 
or decorate salads or cooked vegetables. 
PARAMOUNT. (90 days from seed planting to first harvest.) 
Plant very vigorous in growth, usually 12 inches tall and spread- 
ing 20 inches when given sufficient room, with very long, stout 
stems for bunching. Color is an unusually dark green. This 
variety has been most highly bred and selected for uniform, 
attractive, triple curled leaves of very dark green color.

PARSNIP 
Plant 1 ounce to 150 feet of row. 
In the garden plant 1 packet to 50 feet of row for a 
family of 3 or 4 people. 
CuLture. Parsnips do best on deep, rich, sandy soil. Sow 
seed in Florida from September to December, in rows 114 to 
2 feet apart; cover with one-half inch of soil. When plants 
are well up, thin to 3 or 4 inches apart in row. Parsnip seed 
germinates very slowly. The Parsnip is a winter vegetable. It 
has more starch and suger than other root crops. To prepare, 
cook roots one hour in water, scrape off the skin. Slice or chop 
coarsely or mash, and season with milk, pepper and salt. Slices 
may be fried after seasoning. A delicious and nutritious dish.
