Onions are grown for home use in every state of the Union, and is one of the top ranking vegetables in 
the United States. The mild Sweet Spanish onion will be a welcome addition to your garden. 
SWEET SPANISH ONIONS 
The Rocky Ford Area is one of the important onion producing sections of the 
U.S. Because of the importance of onions to this section, great attention is given to 
the varieties and seed. The Sweet Spanish onion has proven to be best. We offer seed 
of this splendid variety which is grown and harvested by us, the result of 15 years 
careful selective work. Our seed bulbs are selected for size, color and keeping qual- 
ities. Yields from this variety are very heavy, sometimes more than 50,000 lbs. per 
acre. In harvesting our seed, we are careful it reaches maturity, making 5 or 6 pick- 
ings each season. This attention insures good germination. The Sweet Spanish onion 
is unusually mild but still retains genuine onion flavor. It is nearly round, of a yel- 
lowish-brown color, and possesses fine keeping qualities. Some are stored in Septem- 
ber and not sold until April. The onions are large, some weighing as much as 2 lbs. 
Prices postpaid: Ounce, 40c; % pound, $1.40; ¥2 pound, $2.25; 1 pound, $4.00. 
SUNBURST POP CORN 
Many years of careful selective work produced the Sunburst pop corn seed we 
offer this season. This autumn, as in previous years, the pop corn fields were carefully 
worked to select plants producing at least two fine ears of pop corn. Careful attention 
in seed breeding has now produced an ear 9 to 10 inches long, well filled with amber 
colored corn. After being selected for yield, size, and color, this corn must pass a strict 
popping test before being sold for seed. This corn increases 30 volumes in popping. 
Sunburst pops snowy white and very soft and tender. Take advantage of the long 
years of work which developed Sunburst pop corn. You will find it a better variety. 
Prices postpaid; 2 pound, 10c; 1 pound, 20c: 5 pounds, 80c; 10 pounds, $1.50. 
Long years of careful work are necessary to produce a pop corn as uniformly good as the Sunburst.
