JAPANESE BUNCHING. 4ardy green bunching onions 
or scallions. This onion does not 
form a bulb but produces long smooth pure white stalks used as green 
onions or scallions. They remain mild and sweet for a long time. The 
onions grow in clusters, three to five onions being produced on one 
plant. A bunch of these scallions is shown in the photo below. 
When sown in the spring they will produce mild scallions in the early 
fall. Seed sowed in June or July and wintered over with a mulch of straw 
or leaves will provide delicious large scallions very early in the spring. 
They are very tender and fine flavored, and excellent for both home and 
commercial growers.

ONION SETS 
One quart (1 lb.) will set 75 to 100 feet of row, depending upon the size of the sets. 
It is very easy to raise onions from sets and they should be grown in 
every garden. If the sets are set out early in the spring, nice green onions 
can be pulled in a few weeks. The onions grow large enough to cook about 
the first of July in this latitude. Two or three weeks later they become 
large, ripe onions which can be kept through the winter if desired. The 
sets should be planted about 2 inches apart and covered an inch deep. 
For economical use of ground in the small garden it is a good plan to 
plant the sets about one inch apart in rows. Pull every other one for green 
onions in the spring and leave the rest for boiling onions. This will give 
you a continuous supply throughout the summer.

ONION PLANTS 
SWEET SPANISH—Utah Strain 
An Easy Way to Raise Large Sweet Onions 
These plants have proved excellent for raising both early green onions 
and dry bulbs for late summer use. When set out in the early spring, large 
handsome onions are produced within 10 to 12 weeks with very little 
work. These onions will grow in any good garden soil and will keep a long 
time. Set the plants 3 to 4 inches apart in rows 14 to 18 inches apart. 
Sweet Spanish is the most satisfactory kind to grow and we do not 
offer any other kind.

are grown in Texas and are pulled by the handful, each handful being 
called a bunch. The number of plants in a bunch usually runs between 50 
and 100 depending largely on the size of the plants. The count varies a 
great deal and we cannot specify the number of plants in a bunch. 
Price: Single bunch 45c; 2 bunches 75c; 5 bunches $1.50; 10 bunches 
$2.50 transportation paid. Prices on larger lots will be sent on application. 
We can supply onion plants between April 15th and May 25th only. 
Orders will be taken at any time for shipment between these dates. 
Please specify when you want the plants sent and we will do our best to 
send them at that time. Because of the weather and possible transporta- 
tion difficulties we may not be able to ship promptly but we will make 
every effort to send them as near the proper time as possible.
