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 14 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 are especially adaptea 
for growing in our Western country where enor- 
mous yields are produced. In fact, more Yellow 
Sweet Spanish are grown in the Rocky Mountain 
states than any other variety. 
YELLOW SWEET SPANISH, PIETERS-WHEELER 
STRAIN. A carefully developed and selected 
strain of the Utah Sweet Spanish. Considered by

commercial strain because it produces very uni- 
form large bulbs of good dark golden color; globe 
in shape; flesh is firm of mild flavor. Especially 
desired as from this strain very few doubles and 
thick necks are produced.
