THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN SEED CO 
DENVER, COLO 
Onions —(Continued) 
MOUNTAIN DANVERS—This variety is semi-round. 
It is one of the very earliest and seems to ripen 
practically all the crop at once. Color is a beau¬ 
tiful dark yellow, shading- to brown. The skin 
is thick and heavy, which makes it a g-ood keep¬ 
ing- and shipping sort. Our seed is grown for us 
in the mountain districts of Colorado, which pro¬ 
duces onions of extreme earliness and hardiness. 
Mountain Danvers mature fully two weeks earlier 
than the Yellow Globe Danvers. 
YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS—One of the best and 
most extensively grown yellow onions. Bulbs 
are uniformly globe-shaped, small neck, an enor¬ 
mous yielder and fine keeper. We have used the 
utmost care in selecting our seeds of this variety, 
and can recommend them to the most critical 
grower. 
DENIA (IMPROVED PRIZETAKER)—A very hand¬ 
some, large onion, nearly globular in shape. Skin 
yellowish straw color. Flesh white, mild and 
tender. 
SWEET SPANISH OR VALENCIA (Riverside Strain) 
—Sweet Spanish is a sweet mild onion which 
grows to an exceptionally large size, often weigh¬ 
ing from IV 2 to 2% pounds. The true type is of 
globe shape with a rich yellow shading to bronze 
color. It is a good keeper when properly stored. 
It is very resistant to thrip and plant lice. Where 
seasons are short, sow in hot beds and transplant. 
SWEET SPANISH (Special Strain)—This special 
strain seed is grown for us by one of the best 
Rocky Ford growers. This Onion has been se¬ 
lected for its globe shape and dark colored thick 
skin. Keeps better in storage than the regular 
Sweet Spanish. 
WHITE SWEET SPANISH—The pure white flesh of 
this onion is fine grained and exceptionally sweet. 
It is a splendid sort to use in salads or other ways 
without cooking. A very good keeper for so early 
and large variety, and is excellent for either the 
home or market garden. 
EBENEZER OR JAPANESE—An excellent variety 
for producing sets of exceptional keeping quality. 
Bulbs deep-flat, of medium size; dark yellow, very 
firm, with thick skin. Sets when planted make 
an early maturing, good keeping onion for market. 
SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE—The most largely 
grown yellow market onion and the most profit¬ 
able. The bulbs are a true deep globe, having a 
small neck and a heavy, thick skin which makes 
it an excellent storage sort; the color is a deep 
yellow or golden brown. The flesh is white, crisp 
and mild in flavor. 
SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE—The finest type and most 
popular of the red onions. The bulbs are distinctly 
globe shaped, with a small neck, and are excellent 
keepers; color a deep purplish-red. We have an 
unequalled strain of this variety. 
SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE—The handsomest on¬ 
ion grown. Beautiful silvery white, perfectly 
globe shaped, uniform in size. Flesh firm, fine¬ 
grained, solid, and of pleasant flavor. Very small 
neck. 
WHITE PORTUGAL OR SILVERSKIN—A large, flat, 
white onion of mild and pleasant flavor; hard 
and fine grained. The Portugal is more extensively 
grown for sets than any other white variety, and 
is also largely used as a pickier and for bunching. 
SUPERIOR BUNCHING—This new onion from Japan, does not 
form a bulb, but when sown in the spring will produce large 
green onions early in the summer. The onions are nearly twice 
as large as ordinary bunching onions and remain mild and 
sweet for a long time. Best for trenching. 
WHITE LISBON—This is the best and most profitable variety 
of the bunching sort. Acres of them being grown here by the 
gardeners for bunching for local and shipping trade. 
MAMMOTH SILVER KING—Very large white, flat onion used 
principally for bunching while green. Seed sown in the spring 
will make large boiling onions in July and August. 
GIANT WHITE ITALIAN TRIPOLI—A large, pure white, flat on- 
lon of mild and excellent flavor. This medium early and pro¬ 
ductive variety will produce a larger bulb from seed than White 
Portugal, but to attain full size the seed should be sown very 
early in a hotbed and the young plants set out in rich soil. 
When grown under proper conditions the bulbs are often three 
to four inches across, with pure white skin. 
WHITE BARLETTA (Pickling)—The best small white onion for 
pickling. Our seed is the real Barletta onion, producing very 
small round, white onions that mature very early. Sow at 
the rate of 40 pounds per acre. 
BERMUDA CRYSTAL WHITE WAX—The most attractive onion 
in the world. It is a waxy white, of the finest flavor and qual- 
ity. It is the onion that is grown so largely in the South and 
commands a premium over any other onion in the leading 
BERMUDA YELLOW—-This is the standard variety grown so 
Texas. is the most hardy of all sorts, very prolific, 
disease and will yield more than any other 
v an e ry.
