Onion Plants 
All plants are grown in open field, thereby assuring strong, 
hardy plants. They are tied in bunches of about 100 plants 
and packed 60 bunches to the crate. Planting about 3 inches 
apart in 16-inch rows will require 100,000 plants to the 
acre. Please write for prices about April 1. We expect to 
have White Wax, Yellow Bermuda, and Sweet Spanish plants 
ready about April 10th. 
Onion Sets 
On account of the uncertainty of the onion set market we 
are unable to quote prices at the time this book is being 
printed in January. See yellow list for prices. Prices will 
be available in March and April.

ONIONS FOR HEALTH 
Onions give you energy and are rich in vitamins A and B, 
which aids digestion and assists your organs, glands and 
nerves to health. Onions increase bile secretions, aids chil- 
dren to grow and protects from stomach ills. 
CULTURE. Sow just as early as possible, that is, when 
the ground can be worked up nicely. Have your seedbed 
in perfect shape, for onions are slow in coming up and 
require close cultivation. It is sometimes advisable to mix 
a few radish seeds with your onion seed so as to allow for 
earlier cultivation. One ounce of seed will sow 200 feet 
in drill % inch to 1 inch deep, 4 to 5 pounds of seed to 
an acre drilled 13 to 14 inches apart for hand cultivation 
or. 20 to 22 inches apart for cultivating with tractor. Cul- 
tivate often. Do not allow soil to bake. 
All onions and other vegetable warieties best suited for
