were again cut down in yield severely by unfavorable weather. WE HAVE ONION SEED 
FOR YOU but we URGE you to ORDER EARLY what you will need while it is available. 
Onion Seed is under Ceiling Prices. 
HOW TO GROW ONIONS. For sets (to plant the following spring), sow in rows 12 
to 15 inches apart early in the spring, in soil well prepared and worked fine. 



Schell’s White Silverskin Onions 
All Onion Seed Crops in the United States 
Sow seed 
thick, 50 pounds to the acre. If not thick, then they grow too large. When ripe, gather, cure and store them in a dark, dry, cool, 
airy place. 
Leave undisturbed until next spring. For ‘‘picklers’”’ sow 25 to 30 pounds per acre. For large Onions, sow 10 pounds 
to the acre. Sow seed early in spring in rows 12 to 15 inches apart, same as for sets, but make soil as rich as possible, for Onions 
are Sabie Shanta and to grow the largest size it is necessary to have the plant-food there to feed them. Wizard Brand Sheep 
or Cattle 
die down. One ounce will sow a row 100 feet long.
