ONIONS 
This very important vegetable crop requires a rich soil. Seed sowing should be 
done just as early in the Spring as possible. Sow the seed thinly in drills at least a foot 
apart, covering to a depth of not more than 14 inch. Tamp down the soil firmly so 
that it will lie in close contact with seed and thus insure better germination. Frequent 
cultivation is very necessary as well as occasional applications of fertilizer. One ounce 
of seed will sow 100 feet of drill, from 4 to 5 Ibs. to an acre. Onions, according to 
variety, take from 90 to 120 days from seed to crop. 
Southport Yellow Globe or Brigham Yellow Globe. (120 days.) Valuable stand- 
ard yellow variety, particularly for its uniform, attractive shape and keeping quali- 
ties. A hardy, highly productive sort that makes a fine main crop shipping type.

dency to be slightly yellowish, solid, fine grained, fairly strong but pleasant flavor; 
skin thick, and yellow in color. Pkt. 10c., oz. 75c., 14 Ib. $2.50, Ib. $7.00. 
Danver’s Yeliow Globe. (110 days.) A splendid Yellow Globe type of a standard 
sort which matures earlier than many of the earlier yellow varieties. Valuable as 
a storage Onion. It also holds an important place in the home garden. Bulbs—

with yellowish tint, solid, crisp, fine textured, fairly mild; skin, thick yellow in color.

As an appetizing dash for flavoring for 
soups and stews, many people use small quan- 
tities of this pear-shaped white bulb. In large 
amounts it has a strong odor and flavor. To 
grow Garlic in the garden, the several sections 
or ‘‘cloves’’ of each bulb should be separated 
and set in rows 10 or 12 inches apart and 
4 inches apart in the row. They should be 
taken up in the Fall and stored in a cool, 
dry place until used. Oz. 10c., lb. 50c.
