YELLOW SWEET SPANISH or RIVERSIDE 
SWEET SPANISH. A large, well shaped 
yellow variety weighing from 1 to 3 pounds. 
It is unusually mild but retains its genuine 
onion flavor. This is a good keeper and will 
ship as good as any other shipping onion. 
The size of the onion can be regulated by the 
distance between onions and the closer they 
are together the smaller will be the onion. 
Thin l/ 2 inches between to produce larger 
size. To keep a uniform moisture content in 
the soil is important as drying off from lack 
of moisture may start new buds and may 
result in goose-necks. Requires about 3 
pounds of seed to plant 1 acre if planting is 
done directly from seed. 1 oz. 20c; V4 lb. 
65; 1 lb. $2.00; 10 lbs. $17.50, postpaid.
