ONION 
A packet will sow about 25 feet of row; an ounce 150 feet; 4 to 5 lbs. per acre. 
CULTURE. Onions require a rich soil and where manure is used it should be plowed under in 
the fall so as to be thoroughly mixed with the ground before the seed is sown. Cultivate the ground 
thoroughly as early in the spring as possible. Sow in rows 14 inches apart, setting the drill so seed 
will be one-half inch deep. Cultivate with wheel hoe as soon as rows can be seen which should be 
followed in a few days with a second hoeing, after which weeding should be carefully done. 
As soon as ripe the bulbs should be gathered into rows and the tops cut off when dry. Do not 
store in large piles. Store in crates allowing air circulation or spread in dry place. 
GOLDEN GLOBE (Golden.Marvel or Bottle Neck) 
Bulbs medium large, bottle neck globe, skin dark golden, flesh firm and better 
keeper than Ebenezer. Most desirable for growing globe-shaped sets of 
excellent keeping qualities. Such sets when planted out the next year produce 
oblong-globe, deep golden yellow bulbs for the early market. 


EXTRA EARLY YELLOW ONION 
GUNSON’S EXTRA EARLY YELLOW 
Remarkable for its vigor and productiveness. Will ripen down at least two 
weeks earlier than the earliest strains of Yellow Globe Danvers. Bulbs are 
semi-globe in shape, flesh white, skin deep auburn. Recommended for sections 
where blight is prevalent and an early maturing onion is desirable. Our cus- 
tomers who have grown it are enthusiastic in their praise. 
GUNSON’S SPECIAL YELLOW GLOBE (See Photo Page 34) 
A new Yellow Globe onion maturing four or five days earlier than other varie- 
ties of Yellow Globe. The bulbs carry extra layer of outer skin, making it 
easy to handle and an excellent variety for long season storage. We have made 
selections of this strain for the past three years and offer same to our cus- 
tomers feeling sure it will give universal satisfaction.
