A & M Riverside Sweet Spanish Onion 
A & M RIVERSIDE SWEET SPANISH 
A & M Riverside Sweet Spanish Onion is a separate and 
'distinct strain of the original imported sweet Spanish onion 
and was developed by us a few years ago. By careful plant 
■selection we have each year improved the type until the A & 
M Riverside Sweet Spanish Onion is recognized by best authori¬ 
ties as superior to all other strains in flavor, mildness, good 
keeping qualities and yield per acre. This onion is very 
popular and commands the highest market price. 
It is a large, well shaped brown onion weighing from 1 to 3 
pounds. It is unusually mild but still retains its genuine 
onion flavor. Planted at the proper time and thoroughly 
cured it is a good keeper and wili ship as good as any other 
shipping onion. It requires about 3 pounds of seed to plant 
one acre, 'if planting is made directly in the field. For best 
results sow in November-December; however it may also be 
A & M WHITE 
In flavor, uniformity and mildness this new onion is just as 
good as the now famous A & M Riverside Sweet Spanish. It 
is a good keeper, good shipper and the pure white skin is of 
course most desirable. Many letters of recommendation have 
come to us from all parts of the country indicating that 
it may be successfully grown in any soil where other 
onions are being produced. Many growers and dealers are 
trying to imitate the A & M Riverside Sweet Spanish and the 
A & M White Sweet Spanish and we have found in many cases 
planted in the spring. Planting in the seed bed for transplant¬ 
ing requires about pounds of seed per acre. In irrigated 
districts plant in double rows on ridges, having the rows on 
the ridges about S-10 inches apart and 24 inches between the 
double rows. The size of the onion can be regulated by the 
distance between onions and the closer they are together, the 
smaller will be the onion. To produce the larger size they 
should be thinned to 6 or 8 inches between plants. It is im¬ 
portant to keep a uniform moisture content in the soil and to 
keep them growing continuously from the time they are up 
until harvested. Drying off from lack of moisture may start 
new buds and may result in splits or goose-necks. Yields are 
as high as 50,000 pounds per acre. Our seed is packed in sealed 
bags for your protection. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 30c) (!4 lb. $1.00) (1 lb.

the seed they planted was not the true variety. These two 
onions are genuine A & M introductions and they are not some 
other variety renamed. The seed crops are grown under our

true type stock without any danger of mixture. For your
