The Rocky Ford Cantaloupe Seed Breeders Assn 
ani±h (LJnion^ 
The Rocky Ford area has become one of the important onion producing sec¬ 
tions of the United States. Many carloads of onions are shipped to the markets 
in the fall of the year, but many more carloads are stored for sale during the win¬ 
ter. The illustration on page 21 shows the onions pulled, topped and crated, ready 
for movement to the storage 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 unusually 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. 
Prices postpaid: Ounce, 20c; 1 b., 70c; Vz lb., $1.25; 1 lb., $2.25. 
Onions are grown for home rise in every state of the Union, and is one of the top- 
ranking vegetables in the United States. We are offering the Riverside 
Sweet Spanish Onion.

We are offering this year but one va¬

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.

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: Yz lb., 12c; 1 lb., 21c; 
2 lbs., 37c; 5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs., or more, 
16c per lb.
