ONION PLANTS 
The new way of raising the large, mild, sweet onion. 
These onions are not grown from sets but from plants. You 
can raise them in your own garden and get as good onions 
as those that are shipped in from Texas. These are the 
same kind of plants that the Texas growers are using. 
They grow fast, and can be used for green onions or you 
can allow them to mature. The plants are field grown and 
are well hardened and will stand shipping and transplant- 
ing. A large number of our growers had fine success with 
them last year. :
