A packet of seed will sow about 25 feet of row; an ounce 200 feet. 
It requires about 5 or 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. 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 culti- 
vated. Fine small green onions will be ready in the summer and ripe 
onions in the fall. 
Onions from sets or plants are very easy to grow. Set out in the spring, 
and green “bunching” onions will be ready in a few weeks, and large, 
dry ripe onions in August. See Onion Sets and Onion Plants on next page. 
To Raise Early Green Onions. The best way is to plant sets or 
plants early in the spring, but they can also be raised from seed by plant- 
ing Japanese Bunching in June or July and wintering over. The delicious 
“scallions” will be ready very early the next spring. 
YELLOW VARIETIES 
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 unusually 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.

620 SWEET SPANISH—Utah Strain. Large Sweet Onions 
in Your Garden. 
Year after year this variety has produced the largest and finest onions 
in our trial grounds and has shown most remarkable vigor and re- 
sistance 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 are easily grown 
from plants of this variety. See next page for.Spanish Onion Plants.

- Early Yellow Globe Onions 
Ray Statt and Chas. Wilson comparing strains grown in 
our muck trials at Elba, N. Y. 
600 BRIGHAM YELLOW GLOBE. Also called “Michigan 
Onion.’’ Ours is 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 largely displaced. It has become one of the most popular 
and widely grown varieties for both muck and upland.

607 EBENEZER. This onion is remarkably mild and tender and of 
very delicate flavor. It has such a fine reputation 
for quality in some localities 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 Onion Sets. Our stock is the true 
Ebenezer.
