620 SWEET SPANISH—Utah Strain. le Sweet Onions 
n Your Own Gar- 
den. Year after year this variety has produced ine largest and finest 
onions in our trial grounds and has shown most remarkable vigor and 
resistance to disease and insect pests. 
It may seem incredible that these large mild yellow Spanish onions 
can be grown in your own garden, but this is absolutely the case and 
anyone with reasonably good garden soil can grow them. Market 
gardeners and growers for the roadside stands, who have a particular 
and discriminating trade have found this a valuable variety. 
Seed sown in the open ground in the early spring will produce 
magnificent large globe shaped onions often weighing a pound or more 
and of very mild pleasant flavor. Early boiling onions of delicious 
flavor and fine large dry onions for fall and winter of this variety are 
easily grown from plants. See next page for Spanish Onion Plants.

605 EARLY YELLOW GLOBE. True Strain. This is the best 
early yellow onion for both 
muck and upland. It is 10 days to two weeks earlier than Brigham Yel- 
low Globe and will produce beautiful large globe onions even under 
adverse conditions. The onions are unysually large, an attractive deep 
yellow color and nearly globe shape. They have a fine tight skin which 
makes them very good keepers. This is the outstanding commercial 
onion, especially for muck, and is also a most satisfactory kind for the 
home garden. The strain we offer is the very best obtainable—true to 
type, uniform, heavy yielding and of good keeping quality.

the true strain of this fine onion which is 
noted for its long keeping qualities. They are deep globe in shape with a very heavy 
skin of excellent dark color. The flesh is creamy white and of mild flavor. This variety 
yields large crops maturing about with the old Yellow Globe Danvers which it has now

for both muck and upland.

607 EBENEZER. Ce onion is remarkably mild and tender and of very delicate 
ee It has such a fine reputation for quality in some localities 
where it has been grown for years that the onions command much higher prices than 
other kinds. While this variety can be readily raised from seed, its principal usefulness 
is for producing early onions from sets. For this purpose it is far superior to other kinds 
when ripe, dry onions are wanted earlier than they can be grown from seed. 
The onions are wonderfully firm and solid and will keep almost the year around. They 
are flattened in shape, of deep yellow color and of very mild flavor. See below under 
flavor.

It requires 5 to 6 lbs. of seed per acre. 
Our Onion Seed is all grown from carefully selected onions. To get 
large crops of good, sound onions of good color and small tops you must 
have only the very best seed. Cheap, carelessly grown seed will not give 
such crops, even if it is fresh and germinates well. 
Onion Culture. Onions are raised from the seed and from sets or 
plants. Seed sown in early spring will produce fine small green onions in 
the summer and ripe onions in the fall; sets or plants set out in the spring 
make green “bunching” onions in a few weeks and dry ripe onions in 
July or August. 
To raise good onions from seed the ground must be rich and in fine 
condition. Sow the seed as early as possible in rows 14 inches apart. Weed 
as soon as the onions appear and keep well cultivated. 
Large Spanish onions can be easily grown from plants. See next page. 
To Raise Early Green Onions. The best way is to plant sets or plants 
early in the spring but they can be raised from seed sown the previous 
summer. Japanese Bunching is the best variety for wintering over. Plant 
in June or July and the delicious “‘scallions” will be ready very early the 
next spring. Wik Vane: 
617 SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE. The standard large white onion. 
Globe shaped, very firm and solid, clear white in color and of fine 
quality. It keeps well and is excellent for both home gardens and com- 
mercial use. Very attractive in appearance and of delicious flavor. 
To get perfectly white onions the bulbs should be pulled as soon 
as matured and dried in the shade.

610 JAPANESE BUNCHING. ners Bt cen Renee 
nions or scallions. This 
onion does not form a bulb but aren long smooth pure white stalks 
used as green onions or scallions. They remain mild and sweet for a 
long time. The onions grow in clusters, three to five onions being 
produced on one plant. 
When sown in the spring they will produce mild scallions in the early 
fall. Seed sown in June or July and wintered over with a mulch of 
straw or leaves will provide delicious large scallions very early in the 
spring. They are very tender and fine flavored, and excellent for both 
home and commercial growers.

625 WHITE PORTUGAL, or Silverskin. An early flat white onion of 
good size and mild flavor, almost entirely used for bunching or “‘green’”’ 
onions. When the seed is sown thick in a “ribbon row” the onions 
mature when small and are excellent for pickling, as they are snow 
white and very firm. This is also the onion which is used for ‘“White 
sets’’ to grow mild early green onions. (See next page under Onion Sets.)

626 WHITE SWEET SPANISH. The largest and mildest white 
onion. [t has the large size, globe shape and delicious mild flavor of the 
regular Sweet Spanish but has a clear glistening white skin and pure 
crisp white flesh. Like Sweet Spanish, the growth is rapid and vigorous 
and more tolerant to adverse conditions than other kinds. 
These are excellent green onions for bunching in the summer and will 
make very large mature bulbs for fall use and storage. It is one of the 
finest white onions for home garden.
