Crystal Wax Onion Plants 
Onion Plants; 
Onion plants produce the fine, sweet 
salad Onions for Summer use. These 
Onions are grown from plants much 
earlier than they could he grown from 
seed. 
The Onion plant is a small green Onion 
with the root on, well started, and grown 
from the finest varieties of Onion seed. 
The live, green, well rooted, vigorous 
Onion plants are ready to go to work as 
soon as they are set in the field or gar¬ 
den. 
Mountain Grown Onion Plants. These 
exceptionally hardy plants are grown 
outdoors in the mountains without any protection. The seed is sown 
in the early Fall and while some winter kill, the plants which survive 
are really hardy and will grow in spite of adverse weather. These 
plants are pulled at our farms and shipped to you fresh from the 
field. Some of our customers in the southern states require their 
Onion plants before our ground thaws, on these early orders we ship 
Texas grown plants. They are grown for us from our selected seed. 
About 90,000 plants are required to set an acre. A good yield is 
7 to 10 bushels of Onions per 1000 plants. Onion plants are very 
hardy and can be set out as soon as the ground can be worked in the 
Spring. This will give you fine quality Onions for the early market 
or table. Onion plants are not easily perishable if kept dry and not 
allowed to heat.
