Riverside Sweet Spanish 
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 nearly 
two millions. 
Our experience has shown that Riverside Sweet Spanish is 
the most satisfactory kind to grow, so we do not offer any other 
kind. When set in the spring will produce large firm onions of the 
finest type in 8 to 10 weeks. 
Price: 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 15 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.
