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 will 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 Novemfoer-December; however it may also be 
planted in the spring. Planting in the seed bed for transplant¬ 
ing requires about iy 2 pounds of seed per acre. In irrigated 
districts plant in double rows on ridges, having the rows on 
the ridges about 8-10 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 toe 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. 35c) O /4 lb. $1.10) (1 lb.

A & M WHITE SWEET SPANISH 
In flavor, uniformity, and mildness, this new onion is just 
as good as the now famous A & M Riverside Sweet Spanish. 
In size, shape and yield, it is also identical. 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. The culture and time of planting is the same as 
A & M Riverside Sweet Spanish onion. The seed crops are 
grown under our personal supervision so that we are in a 
position to furnish true type stock without any danger of 
mixture. For your protection, as well as ours, the seed is 
packed in specially printed and sealed bags. (Pkt. 5c) (oz.
