BEST VARIETIES TO PLANT.
It is almost an infallible rule
that the varieties, which succeec
best |n the North fail here
Again, some varieties w hich sue
ceed well in one-section of Texas
will not succeed in ot her sections.
My experience is that the Bermu-
da ana Creole are far superior to
any other variety. The Bermuda
is certainly the finest and most
palatable onion grown. It grows
larger aiid yields more than the
Creole; is sweet, immeasurably
milder and much more tender
than the Creole. The only thing
yet discovered rendering it less
desirable than the Creole is, that
while it is a good keeper, it will
not keep as long under the same
conditions. I have kept the Ber-
muda fully three months without
their decaying. We have kept
the Creole a year: To counter-
balance this defect in the "first
named, it will yield from fifteen
<to twenty-five per cent more
than the Creole, and is a larger
and much haridsomgr onion and
will sell two to one better where
its qualities are known. One
peculiarity of the Bermuda is, it
does not taint the breath when
•eaten raw, or emit that offensive
odor w hich characterizes the Ore-
.ole during decomposition. I
grow both, because l can do bet-,
ter with the two than with one.
The genuine Bermuda onion seed
comes from the Island of Teueriffe
and does not reach this country
until about September loth or
^October 1st. For several years
I have been purchasing my seed
of H. G. Hastings & Co., Atlanta,
-Ga., and find it eminently satis-

A WORD OE W AILN'LVO.
The purchase of good and
avoidance of poor seed is very
important,. The Rock Island
Truckers’ Club was organized

had many failures: this we gener-
ally d*d because we bought cheap
seed. We have since learned to

TRAXSPLANTIXG. '
When onions are about the
size of a quiJVor lead pencil re-
move them to the field cut roots
off to one and half inches and
half the tops and set out about
two inches deep, three to five
inches apart a»d about twenty-
bur to thirty inches between
rows for horse cultivation, and
ten to sixteen inches for hand cul-
tivation. The best way 1 know
of for setting plants is to run a
lorse sled with two sharp ran-
ners twenty-four inches apart,
drawn through Cfor a row) so
as to cut tw’o gashes two to four
inches deep- and about one inch
wide at surface, into which place
the onions. Another way is t o
run a hand turning plow the
proper depth, drop onions in,
resting upon the perpendicular
side, then rake the earth back
against the plants, in all cases
firming the earth around theta;
