AND SELECTION 
Riverside Sweet Spanish 
The Rocky Ford area has become one 
of the important onion producing sec¬ 
tions of the United States. Many car¬ 
loads of onions are shipped to the mar¬ 
kets in the fall of the year, but many 
more carloads are stored for sale during 
the winter. The illustration on page 29 
shows the onions pulled, topped and 
crated, ready for movement to the stor¬ 
age houses. 
Because of the importance of onions to 
this section, great care and attention is 
given to the varieties and seed used. 
The Riverside Sweet Spanish onion has 
proven to be the best. We are offering 
seed of this splendid variety. It is un¬ 
usually mild but still retains the genuine 
onion flavor. It is nearly round, is of a 
yellowish-brown color, and possesses fine 
keeping qualities. The onions are large, 
some weighing as much as two pounds. 
It is a heavy producer, and we have had 
yields that run to more than 50,000 
pounds per acre.

Pop (lorn 
Sunburst 
We are offering this year but one va¬ 
riety of pop corn, choosing the Sunburst 
as being the one that will give our cus¬ 
tomers the finest results. This variety 
was developed by the United States De¬ 
partment of Agriculture. The strain is 
a yellow amber colored corn, of very 
high popping test. We have found that 
it will frequently increase 25 to 30 vol¬ 
umes in popping. It pops out snowy 
white and is very soft and tender. The 
kernels are medium in size. We suggest 
that you raise your own pop corn this 
season.

Sweet Spanish Onion Seed. 
Hopi Indian Bean 
This is a comparatively new bean that 
will prove to be particularly valuable in 
the Great Plains area because of its 
vigor and hardiness. The Hopi bean is 
medium early, producing a bean that is 
midway in size between the bush lima 
and the older pole beans. For those who 
like the lima beans in the green stage for 
cooking there is none better than the 
Hopi. This bean should be planted about 
one-third as thickly as the regular lima 
beans, yet it will produce as heavy a crop 
of beans. We recommend your planting- 
some of the Hopi beans. 
Prices postpaid: l / 2 lb., 12c; 1 lb., 21c; 
2 lbs., 37c; 5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs. or more, 
16c per lb.
