ONION The Onion Plant is Native of Western Asia Culture — Rich, deep, sandy loam and muck land are good for onion production. Frequent cultivation and hand weeding are necessary. Sow seed in April or May. 4 to 5 pounds per acre in drills 12 to 15 inches apart. Days from planting to marketable bulbs WHITE PORTUGAL OR SILVERSKIN 100 to 102 The most widely used white onion. It might be called an all-purpose va- riety, as it is excellent for sets, as a pickler, for green bunching, and for storage. Bulbs medium sized, thick-flat, clear white, hard, fine grained, and of pleasing flavor. It is a dependable cropper. WHITE QUEEN 90 to 92 Valuable for early market and pickling, and sometimes used for bunching and for sets. Bulbs small, flat, clear white, firm and mild. Pea Breeding Grounds where Progeny Performance is Studied and Recorded PEAS Native, it is believed, of Western Asia By breeding pedigreed stocks through generations of pure-line cultures, we are continually improving existing leading varieties of peas. This intensive process, supported by careful in- spection and checking of field crops, produces exceptionally high grade stocks. In addition to maintaining standard varieties, new strains are developed by means of hybridization and selec- tion, which enable us to combine desirable plant characters such as disease resistance, produc- tiveness, and quality of two or more parents in new and more useful introductions. We have indicated in the number of days from planting to canning, average results under normal rainfall conditions. These figures will be of assistance in comparing the relative earliness or lateness of the various varieties when planted in any locality. Culture — Peas are grown successfully on various types of well drained, non-acid, mellow soils but deep fertile
