Sweet Spanish 
The Sweet Spanish is one of the best onion varieties because of its nildness, its keeping qualities, its | 
color, and its heavy yield. The onions are large, nearly round and of a yellowish brown color. The 
flesh is white and unusually mild, though retaining the genuine onion flavor. It has excellent keep- 
ing qualities and can be stored for considerable 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 wind- 
rows for a day or two. When put in storage, keep dry and at a uniform temperature just abové 
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 1/2 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. ;
