ONIONS 
A packet of seed will sow about 25 feet of row; an ounce 200 feet. It requires 4 to 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. 
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 
planting Japanese Bunching in June or July and wintering over. 
Dust or Spray Onions with DDT. By controlling onion thrips, you 
get larger, better onions. Apply every two weeks. See DDT on page 82. 

Early Yellow Globe 
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 Yellow 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. Pkt. 15c; 44 Oz. 35c; Oz. 60c; 144 Lb. $1.60; 4% Lb. $2.75. 
600 BRIGHAM YELLOW GLOBE. A!s° 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. 
Pkt. 10c; % Oz. 30c; Oz. 55c; 14 Lb. $1.50; % Lb. $2.40. 
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. Our stock is 
the true Ebenezer. Pkt. 10c; 4% Oz. 30c; Oz. 50c; 14 Lb. $1.40; 144 Lb. $2.25.

produced the largest and finest onions in our trial grounds and has shown most remark-

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.
