A & M Onions —Continued 
No crop is so liable to variations by cultivation and soil as Onions. Having ricb soil with too much irrigation will 
VUUU1C produce thick-necked scallions and sometimes doubles and splits, while the same soil well drained would nroduce 
the finest Onions. A sandy soil well fertilized is best. 
In some instances seed is drilled directly in the field and thinned the same as Lettuce and for this purpose 3 lbs of seed 
per acre is necessary. However we advise sowing in seed beds and transplanting. This gives more uniformity of size elimi¬ 
nates a great many splits and doubles, and Onions mature more evenly. It also eliminates the necessity of one or two w’eedings 
as the field can be prepared immediately before setting out the plants. For the transplanting method 1-2 lbs. of seed is sufficient 
to produce plants for an acre. The young Onions are ready for re-setting when they are from 6 weeks to 2 months old. They 
should have the tops trimmed off to the center blade and the roots trimmed to % to 1 inch in length. The double row system 
in the field is preferable where weeds are few. The rows on the ridges should be 8-10 inches apart. Irrigate in the furrows be¬ 
tween the ridges to avoid flooding the Onions which causes them to rot readily. 
In Central and Southern California seed is planted in September for early spring onions and from November to March 1st for 
later crops. 
Australian Brown 
Quick to mature; a good keeper; 
solid and heavy; an excellent onion 
for shipping. The skin is a light brown. Its solidity gives 
it great weight and a sack weighs several pounds heavier 
than a sack of many other kinds. The onions are thin-necked 
and ripen very early in all soils. As the plant makes a very 
quick growth it matures the bulbs before the hot, dry sum¬ 
mer weather sets in, and this in connection with the ex¬ 
ceptional keeping qualities makes it a most profitable va¬ 
riety. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 30c) (4 lb. 90c) (lb. $2.75) postpaid. 
Southport White Globe 
this variety is very popular being used extensively for shipping 
purposes. It is a good keeper, either in the field or in cold stor¬ 
age. It is silvery white in color, globe shaped and of delicious 
flavor. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 45c) (14 lb. $1.50) (lb. $4.50) postpaid. 
Extra Early White Queen I;:’;; S 
production in Southern California. Planted during August and 
September it attains marketable size in March and April and 
is sold on the local market as early as the Bermuda. Local 
growers market them while quite young, cutting the top 
off close to the onion. They harvest only what can be sold 
from day to day. The best variety for pickling. (Pkt. 5c) (oz.

Crystal Wax 
Crystal Wax 
The Crystal Wax is a medium sized pure 
waxy white onion and is one of the mild¬ 
est sorts grown. The seed of this variety is generally sown 
in seed beds and the plants transplanted to the field when they 
are five or six inches high. Planted the latter part of Septem¬ 
ber, they mature in March and April and usually bring the 
highest market price. It is grown extensively in Southern 
California and Texas. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 30c) (14 lb. $1.00) (lb. $3.00)

White Portugal, or Silverskin ^ a riy° whitest 
onion to follow the Extra Early White Queen. It should be 
planted any time from November 1st until April 1st. It is a 
good keeper and desired for shipping. Under good cultivation 
the average diameter is from four to six inches. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 
40c) (14 lb. $1.25) (lb. $3.75) postpaid. 
Yellow Bermuda 
This variety goes hand in hand with 
the Crystal Wax and should be given 
the same culture. It is about the same size as the Crystal 
Wax but is a yellow straw color and is slightly better for ship¬ 
ping over long distances. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 30c) (14 lb. $1.00) (lb.

Yellow Globe Danvers S™ Si 
large with thin necks. The skin is a straw yellow, while the flesh 
is pure white, solid and of good quality. Its earliness makes it 
valuable for market. The crop is very uniform and ripens at 
one time. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 40c) (!4 lb. $1.35) (lb. $4.00) postpaid. 
A & M Bunching 
Onion 
For bunching onions sow 10 
lbs. seed per acre or lb. to 
a 100-foot row. 
Many think any white onion 
will do for a bunching onion, 
but this is not true. Our growers 
for fancy trade have learned 
that we have the best strain of 
seed for this purpose, and our 
sales amount to thousands of 
lbs. each year. The picture 
shows a sample of what our 
seeds produce. They are just 
the right shape. (Pkt. 5c) (oz.

Planted during January matures latter part of June. No 
other onion is ready for use so quickly after planting seed. 
It is the right onion for the home garden. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 40c)

largely throughout the United States than any other. It is 
a large medium flat onion of excellent mild flavor. (Pkt. 5c)

Tlip Italian Rprl Rnttlp Onion is as popular in some 
1 ne lldlldll rvea Dome sections of Northern Califor¬ 
nia as is the Sweet Spanish Onion in Southern California. It 
grows as large, weighing 3 to 4 pounds and has a similar 
sweet, non-pungent flavor. 
Whether you grow for the local market or in the home 
garden, you will make no mistake to plant this onion. Any 
consumer who once having eaten them will want more. (Pkt.

A& M Onion Sets 
The earliest onions are grown from sets planted in Sep¬ 
tember. This brings them in the market in February and 
March, when prices are highest. About 250 lbs. of sets 
will plant one acre. 
State whether you wish white sets or yellow. 
We have no sets of the Riverside Sweet Spanish. 
Set them three inches apart in rows six inches apart. 
When ready for use, take up every other one as needed, al¬ 
lowing the balance to grow to mature size. One pound 
of sets will plant about fifty feet of row. (Lb. 35c postpaid) 
(10 lbs. $3.00 postpaid). Write for quantity prices. 
The proper way to grow Onions is on ridges
