ONIONS 
CuLtrurE.—Use one ounce seed for 100 feet of row; 
for sets, 50 pounds to the acre. For sets, sow the seeds as 
early as possible in the spring, very thickly, in drills. As 
soon as the tops die off in summer, remove them to a 
dry, airy place, and early in the following spring replant 
them by placing sets in shallow drills 12 inches apart 
and about 4 inches apart in the drills. They may also be 
grown to full size during the first season by sowing thinly 
in drills 1 foot apart and about 14 inch deep, manuring 
them well and thinning them out to stand 3 to 4 inches 
apart in the drills. 
Bermuda Yellow or White. 93 days. Very mild, me- 
dium-sized, flat Onion for early home and market 
use. Skin is light straw color; flesh is nearly white. 
Extensively used in the South, and for shipment 
from Texas and California. 
Crystal White Wax. 93 days. Handsomest pure waxy 
white Bermuda Onion for earliest premium prices. 
Bulbs are flat, medium-sized, clear white, of mildest, 
delicate flavor. Extensively grown. 
Ebenezer. 100 days. Deep flat bulbs of medium size, 
dark pure yellow, very firm and hard. Popular at 
present for growing sets. It is a vigorous grower. 
Large Red Wethersfield. 100 days from seed This 
is the standard variety and the favorite Onion in 
the East, where immense crops are grown for ship- 
ment. Large, round; skin deep purplish red; flesh 
fine-grained, firm, slightly flushed with pink. Very 
productive, the best keeper and most popular for 
general cultivation. 
Prizetaker. 114 days from seed. This variety is much 
used to produce large Onions from seed in one season 
instead of growing small Onions and _ replanting 
them. It is grown extensively in the South. The 
bulbs are large, globe-shaped, with straw-colored 
skin, and are very mild. It is a very productive and 
profitable variety. 
Southport White Globe. 110 days. A showy, mild- 
flavored, large, pure White Globe variety. Very 
solid, a good keeper and possibly the best for sets of 
all white sorts. Unsurpassed in uniformity. Abso- 
lutely pure white. 
Sweet Spanish, Utah Strain. 112 days from seed. 
This Onion has become popular very quickly in 
many sections of the country. The large, light yellow, 
globe-shaped Onions have small roots and necks, 
which adds to their keeping qualities. Like the Prize- 
taker, large Onions can be grown from seed in one 
season. Being a Spanish variety, they are always 
mild and sweet. 
White Portugal or Silverskin. 100 days from seed. 
This is the standard white variety for general 
culture. The bulbs grow to good size, ripening early 
and quite evenly. It is a good keeper. The flesh is 
mild and sweet, the thin skin a clear silvery white 
of handsome appearance if the bulbs are gathered 
as soon as ripened and carefully dried under shelter 
away from the strong sunlight. It is excellent for 
sets, as a pickler, for green bunching, and for storage. 
A dependable cropper. 
Yellow Globe Danvers. 112 days from seed. This is a 
popular Onion, a standard variety everywhere. It 
is a good cropper, medium late, and used largely 
for storage. The bulbs are medium large, round, 
yellow, solid, with a small neck. Flesh 1s white 
with a slight yellow tone and is mildly flavored.
