ONIONS 
A packet of seed will sow about 25 feet of row; an ounce 200 feet. It requires about 5 or 6 Ibs. 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. Raising good onions from seed is not difficult but 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. Fine small green onions will be ready in the summer 
and ripe onions in the fall. 
YELLOW VARIETIES 
605 EARLY YELLOW GLOBE. True Strain. This is the best early yellow 
onion for both muck and upland. It is 10 days

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. 
Dust or Spray Onions with DDT. By controlling onion thrips, you 
get larger, better onions. Apply every two weeks. See DDT on page 83.
