ONION 
In our selecting operations particular attention is paid to ripening down and keeping 
quality. 
Our bulbs are subjected to a long storage period to eliminate any occasional poor keeping 
individuals before planting the mother bulbs in the spring for stock seed. 
The trials of onion, at our Experimental Gardens near Detroit, are always planted about 
May Ist. The earlier varieties such as Early Yellow Globe are always fully mature in 110 
days or less and the late varities about 2 weeks later, that is, the latter part of September. 
Our stocks of onions are superior in every respect.
