= ment. Onion plants are being used more exten-

worked and will grow well-shaped onions that 
keep as well as those grown from sets. 
Our onion plants will give you green onions 
earlier than can be had from sets, and large 
matured onions about two weeks earlier than from 
sets and much earlier than from seed. Onions 
from plants seldom run to seed, which is another 
ary 15 to June 1st. Order today and state in your

shipped to territory farther north and be 
planted in the open ground a month or 
six weeks sooner than the home grown 
hot bed or cold frame plants. These , 
Frost-Proof Cabbage Plants will stand a 
temperature of 20 degrees above zero.

plant home grown plants, and they will 
mature heads 2 to 3 weeks earlier. We
