ONIONS 
Onions have become an established cash crop 
in most of the irrigated sections of the West. 
These irrigated districts have great advantages 
for onion production, the necessary conditions 
for development and maturity of the onion crop 
are under control of the grower. The result is 
that enormous yields of high quality stock are 
produced. If the market is reasonably good the 
onion crop is very profitable. 
If you are growing onions commercially, good 
seed of the most popular market strains is of 
very great importance.
