Diamond jubilee 75th anniversary . diamondjubilee751935grif Year: 1935 ONION SEED CULTIVATION.—TO GBOW IABGE OITIOirS FROM SEED.—The seed should be sown as early as possible in the spring, as they grow much better during the cool weather, and should make most of their growth before the hot weather sets in. Sow 5 pounds of seed to the acre for large onions. Y''W GIiOBE DANVERS.—A very handsome, round, yellow onion; a large yielder and splendid keeper; the preferred sort with market gardeners and large growers all over the country. We unhesitatingly recommend it for growing either sets or large onions. PRIZE TAKER.—This is a large, beautiful onion, rich straw color, and Is of enormous size. The flavor is mild and delicate. By sowing this sort early you can raise a large crop of large onions the first season with very little trouble. All that is necessary is good ground, proper cultivation, and not to have them too thick. WHITE SnVERSEIIT or FOBTTTGAI.—A good variety for family use, skin and flesh pure white, mild flavor and flat shape. The best white onion to grow largely for sets. AITSTRAIIAN' BROWN.—A Valuable Iong-Eeeplng Onion.—The outside skin is of a deep amber brown, distinct from all other onions, extremely hard and firm, of fine flavor. WETHERSPIELD IiARGE RED.—Well-known and favorite sort. A large yielder and good keeper. yEIiIiOW DUTCH, or STRASBURG-.—The most popular and best variety for set purposes. Is similar to the Yellow Danvers. Flat in shape, color and size. TEKIaOW GIiOBE DANVERS ONION but as a set onion it has the quality of ripening down earlier and more uniformly. ONION SETS OF ONION SETS Have a clean and very rich soil, which should be thoroughly cultivated, or it will not do well enough to pay for the trouble. Disturb the roots of the onion as little as possible, either in thinning or hoeing, and never hoe earth toward them to cover
