ONIONS 
All Prices Postpaid Unless Otherwise Noted 
CULTURE: A crop of onions can be grown on any 
good soil but of course with fertilizer better results 
will be obtained. Ground should be well worked and 
pulverized, allowing no lumps or trash to mar the 
surface. The seed can be sown in the spring, just as 
soon as the ground can be prepared, as onion seed 
will germinate in cool weather. Sow about 4 inch 
deep and in rows 12 to 16 inches apart. After they 
show an inch or two above the ground give them a 
good light hoeing, after which weeding must be done, 
and must be repeated whenever weeds appear until 
the tops lie down, then they should be topped and the 
bulbs allowed to dry before sacking. For extra large 
bulbs, thin out gradually so that they stand 3 to 4 
inches apart. 
YELLOW VARIETIES 
YELLOW SWEET SPANISH. (Uich Strain.) Sweet 
Spanish is especially adapted for growing in our 
western country where enormous yields are pro- 
duced. A yield of 400 sacks per acre is not 
uncommon in Colorado. It has become very 
popular as a commercial variety, finding ready 
sales on distant markets. The bulbs average 2¥2 
to 4 inches in diameter depending upon the soil 
and how thick they are planted. They have a 
good dark golden yellow skin, flesh is firm and 
of a light yellow creamy color and has a mild 
sweet flavor.

MOUNTAIN SWEET SPANISH. A very fine strain 
of Utah Sweet Spanish produced in ‘the higher 
altitudes of Colorado. We find the crop produced 
from mountain grown seed matures earlier and 
are better keeping bulbs. We especially recom- 
mend mountain grown seeds.

‘MOUNTAIN DANVERS. (Colorado Grown.) This 
variety of Danvers developed in the mountains 
of western Colorado. Matures practically all the 
crop at once. Color is a beautiful dark yellow, 
shading to brown. It is an excellent keeper and 
shows less shrinkage than any other variety. 
The bulbs are three-quarters round, hard, with 
thick, heavy clinging skin. Our seed is grown 
from selected bulbs in the high altitudes of west- 
ern Colorado.
