1935 SPRING AND FALL THE HOUSE OF GURNEY, INC. YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA 
ONIONS—(Continued) 
Giant Yellow Sweet Spanish 
Riverside Sweet Spanish 
This is a California grown strain of the Spanish 
(Denia) onion. With us it grows larger than the 
American Prizetaker and does not produce the 
"stiff-necks” usual in the Spanish type. It is 
the most popular onion in Southern California 
and when grown as a specimen attains enormous 
size. 4 to 4 y 2 pounds. Globe shape, bright golden 
yellow. The flavor is very mild, and the shape 
very uniform. Very high yields may be expected 
from this variety. 
At the 1931 meeting of the South Dakota 
Horticultural Society, the Yellow Sweet Spanish 
Onion was highly recommended, outyielding all 
other onions. The mild flavor and fine appear¬ 
ance make them salable at the highest market 
price. Pkt., 8c; oz., 30c; y 4 lb., 75c; 1 lb., 
$2.45; 5 lbs., $11.00. 
Gurney’s Dakota Red Globe 
In offering the “Dakota” (105 days to matu¬ 
rity) Onion we wish to tell you something of it. 
The parentage of this onion is strictly Southport 
Red Globe, but has been grown in Dakota for 
a number of years, and by careful selection of 
the bulbs and saving of the seed crop we have 
produced an onion that is very uniform in size, 
very dark red in color, a perfect globe, and quite 
a bit earlier than any other globe onion that we 
know of. We consider this one of the most profit¬ 
able onions for the people of the Northwest to 
plant. On account of being able to market 
them earlier than other varieties you can secure 
a better price, and as the yield is equally as large 
as any other variety it is certainly more profita¬ 
ble to plant them. The seed will cost you a little 
more money than the others, but a few cents 
per acre are more than made up by the results 
in the fall. Pkt., 7c; oz., 25c: !4 lb., 65c; / 2 lb., 
$1.15; 1 lb., $2.00; 4 lbs., $7.35. 
He-Shi-Ko 
Japanese 
Bunching 
Onion 
Long White 
Hardy Onion — This 
onion is becoming 
ever more popular for 
beyond doubt it is the 
best of the Bunching 
Onions. It will do 
well from Florida to 
Michigan. The flavor 
Is quite mild, and the 
onion remains tender 
and pure white. We 
know of no other 
Onion which trenches 
as well. Pkt., 8c; 
oz., 30c; !4 lb., 75c; 
1 lb., $2.15. 
White Welch 
Bunching 
Onion 
(90 days to matu¬ 
rity) — For early green 
onions, the seed of 
this onion may be 
treated as any onion 
seed, making one- 
third the expense and 
trouble of planting 
top sets and produc¬ 
ing more green onions. 
The flavor is the 
sweetest of all onions. 
The plant is peren¬ 
nial and may be left 
in the ground for years 
with but slight pro¬ 
tection. Maximum re¬ 
sults. however, are 
obtained by treating 
as an annual; sow in the spring or fall. Pkg., 
5c; oz. 25c; J4 lb. 65c; 1 lb. $1.90. 
Bermuda Onion Plants 
Plants are open field grown. Large size. 
Strong, Healthy and Sturdy. Shipped fresh the 
day they are pulled. Onion Plants produce large 
onions, which are Sweet and Tender. They grow 
faster, mature quicker, sell at the highest mar¬ 
ket price, because they are of much superior 
quality. 
Grown from Imported Seed, produce the genu¬ 
ine Bermuda Onion. Thin skin, white meat 
Sweet and Tender. It’s hardy, easy to grow, 
and easy to harvest. It will produce perfectly 
in any State. Frost or light freeze will not injure 
them. 1000 plants will produce from 7 to 10 
bushels of onions. Prices: 6000, $7.20; 3000, 
$3.95; 1000, $1.80; 500, $1.05. Postpaid. 
Onion Sets 
These may be planted early in the spring to be 
used for green onions, or can be allowed to grow, 
producing large onions very early. They are 
planted largely by market gardeners and allowed 
to grow full size on account of coming into the 
market when other onions are scarce; in this 
way, they realize the best price.

makers, runs freely and produces the finest 
mushrooms. Bricks weigh about one pound and 
a brick is sufficient to plant about nine square 
feet. Best Spawn, 30c per lb.; 5 lbs., $1.25.

like fine ostrich plumes. It is a handsome 
variety, of strong growth, yielding a large 
quantity of greens. The plants stand a long 
time before bolting to seed. The flavor is mild 
and the leaves are excellent for garnishing and 
salads. It is a favorite variety in quite a few 
sections. Does well even during hot weather.

Dear Sirs: 
We just had to have some more of your 
Longfellow cucumbers. We tried them last 
summer and never saw so many cucumbers 
before. Bought an ounce of seed and picked 
about thirty-five bushels as dry as the 
season was. 
Yours truly,
