SEED GROWERS 57 
ONION (Cont.) 
Our onion seed stocks are recognized in all important onion producing areas for high 
uniform yields, with exceptionally good keeping qualities. To maintain these stocks, our 
bulbs for stock seed are carefully selected by men fully trained and qualified to make 
selections for trueness to type and uniformity. Particular emphasis is given to the 
ripening down and keeping quality. Bulbs are then subjected to a long storage to 
eliminate any poor keeping individuals, Personal supervision in all phases of our grow- 
ing operations and constant reselection make these strains outstanding in all respects. 
Our trials are conducted at breeding stations in several states, on both upland and muck. 
We are conducting research in the hybridizing of onions.
