ONION PLANTS 
These plants which are grown in Texas have proved ex¬ 
cellent for raising both early green onions and dry bulbs for 
late summer sale. More gardeners find it profitable each year 
to grow onions from our plants and our sales of onion plants 
in the past few years have steadily increased from a few 
thousand to over a million each year. 
We offer the following two kinds which have proved the 
most satisfactory. 
RIVERSIDE SWEET SPANISH. (Yellow). When set in 
the spring will produce large firm onions in 8 to 10 weeks. 
Grown from true seed; produces large onions of the finest type. 
CRYSTAL WAX. (White). Best to grow for green bunch¬ 
ing onions. If allowed to mature the onions are large, flat, white 
and of superb flavor. 
Price of either variety: 10 bunches (about 1000 plants) 
$1.50; Full crate (about 6000 plants) $6.00. Purchaser pays 
transportation. Weight per 1000, 6 lbs. Write for prices on 
larger lots. 
The above plants are tied in bunches of about 100 plants; 
60 bunches (about 6000) make a full crate. 
NOTE. Onion plants can be supplied between April 25 and 
May 15th only. These plants can be ordered at any time for 
shipment between the above dates. Please state on the order 
when you want the plants sent.
