Please send me your new catalog. I cannot 
get along in the spring without it. I used 
your seed when I lived in the northern part 
of Minnesota and never had better seed.

marketable onions in June and July, long before any

ONION PLANTS 
Grow your own first young table onions from 
Bermuda Onion plants. The plants are grown in 
Texas from the finest strains of Onion Seed. Like 
our Frost Proof Cabbage Plants, these onions are 
grown from seed outdoors, during the winter, and 
are subjected to cold, ice and snow. They will 
produce onions two weeks ahead of those raised 
from seed, and are just about as cheap. 
They are perfectly hardy, easy to grow and pro¬ 
duce the finest mild-flavored young onions in the 
shortest possible time. We ship them in bundles 
of 200 plants, all ready to set out, guaranteed to 
reach you in proper growing condition. Use them 
as green onions, or let them develop to creaming 
size. If allowed to continue growing they will de¬ 
velop good-sized bulbs. Orders will be shipped at 
proper time for setting out. Set out 100,000 plants 
per acre. 
We can usually supply the following varieties: 
Yellow Bermuda, Crystal Wax, Prizetaker and Va¬ 
lencia, but in case of shortage we reserve the right 
to send the varieties available when order reaches 
us. We prepay to 3rd zone only (300 miles).
