TWO HYBRID ONIONS 
Dr. Henry A. Jones of the U.S.D.A. is the man who has 
done most of the work on hybrid onions. He has made the 
production of seed possible by making his breeding lines 
available to all seedsmen who are interested. All hybrid 
onion introductions are the result of Dr. Jones’ study and 
material. We urge onion growers to make trial plantings of 
these hybrids and know just what they will do for them 
before putting in any acreage. We have carefully examined 
many trial plots of hybrid onions and have not seen any 
hybrids that are better for New York State than the stand- 
ard varieties that are now being grown by most onion 
growers. 
Autumn Star—aA very heavy yielding, early maturing kind, 
ready at the same time as Early Yellow Globe. The bulbs 
are uniformly round, of the same size and have good skin 
coverage. It has the usual added vigor and heavy yielding 
quality of the hybrid. 
Autumn Glory—Similar in appearance to the late maturing 
Brigham onion. Globe shaped bulbs, very uniform in size, 
with thick, coppery brown skins that don’t rub off easily. 
Keeps in storage better than the other hybrids we have seen. 
This hybrid has great vigor and yields exceptionally well. 
Prices on both Hybrids—" 1b., $2.75; lb., $9.75; 5 to 25 Ibs., 
$9.60 per lb.
