SWEET SPANISH 
THE SWEET SPANISH is one of the best onion varieties because of its mildness, its keeping 
qualities, its color, and its heavy yield. The onions are large, nearly round and of a yel- 
_ lowish brown color. The flesh is white and unusually mild, though retaining the genuine 
onion flavor. It has excellent keeping qualities and can be stored for conisderable periods. 
At Rocky Ford the Sweet Spanish can be stored in September and sold in April. Yields 
from this variety are very heavy. It matures in about 110 days. Our seed bulbs are carefully 
selected for size, color and keeping qualities and we can offer some very high quality seed. 
| Onion seed should be planted as soon in the spring as the ground can be worked. The 
seed can be put in 18 inch rows and about an inch apart in the row, covered with 1 inch of 
fine soil. If the onions are to be stored in the fall, let the tops die down, then pull the 
onions and place in windrows for a day or two. When put in storage, keep dry and at a 
uniform temperature just above freezing. 
With our specially selected seed, a little care in growing and harvesting, you can have 
an onion crop of which you can be proud.

Peppers. 
PEPPER SEED should be planted in the hotbed 8 to 10 weeks before time to transplant in the 
open field. Sow the seed at a depth of about 14 inch in the hotbed. Pepper plants require 
more heat than tomato or cabbage plants, and if possible should be grown in separate beds. 
When the ground is thoroughly warm in the spring, set the plants in rows 2 to 3 feet apart 
and the plants 2 feet apart in the row.
