Onions 
A packet will plant 25 feet of row; 1 ounce 200 feet; 5 to 6 pounds per acre. 
Onions may be grown with sets, plants or seed. Sets are covered with an inch of soil. 
Several weeks are required to produce “green eating’ Onions. Frequent shallow cultivation -is 
suggested. They are mature when the tops break over naturally and become dry. A loose but 
rich, fine soil will usually produce the best green Onions and mature bulbs from seed. Don’t 
neglect to thin the plants to stand 3 or 4 inches apart in the row.

(110 days.) The bulbs are distinctly globular in shape and mature to a larger size than 
other strains of Southport Yellow Globe. It is an excellent variety to grow in all locations 
with the exception of deep muck, where, if the season is wet it is very difficult to ripen and 
produces more thick necks than Early Yellow Globe. Brigham Yellow Globe is looked upon 
as an exceptionally good variety for storage. However, Early Yellow Globe will store 
equally as well if lifted from the ground at the same stage of maturity. 
(95 days.) The most popular variety of Yellow Globe Onion we list. The best variety for 
production on muck soil or upland, and has now largely taken the place of Yellow Globe 
Danvers and Southport Yellow Globe. This is due to its ability to produce a good sized 
Onion ten days earlier than other Yellow Globe types. Early maturity is essential where 
the growing season is short and the keeping qualities depend on the Onion being fully 
matured. This variety maturing earlier insures well ripened bulbs which can be sold
