By sowing seed of the Spanish type, such as Prizetaker and the Southport Globes, under glass in February or March and transplanting in April to open ground 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows bulbs of immense size may be produced. The Best Red Onions The red-skinned Onions are by far the best winter keepers lasting well into the spring, far beyond the time that any of the white or yellow varieties could be kept in good condi- tion. They mature rather late, have solid flesh, and their flavor is stronger than any of the others. 580 Large Red Wethersfield. 110 days.
