Onions are damaged by a small insect known as onion thrip. These feed on the leaves, causing them to turn 
white and later the leaves wilt and die. 
Dusting with DDT is a very effective control for onion thrip. 
Early Yellow Globe and Brigham Yellow Globe are the two most popular cooking onions grown from seed. 
Ebenezer is largely used for growing sets, Sweet Spanish for growing plants from which large table onions are 
produced, and White Portugal for small pickle onions. 
or Fall for green onions.

Last year you saw Frank Robson (Orson’s son) in the pansy bed. 
This year we caught him as he was finishing harvesting the Sweet 
Spanish onions grown from plants in the home garden. This is 
the way to grow large sweet onions that we used to have to buy 
in the store. 
ONION PLANTS

*xUTAH SWEET SPANISH ONION PLANTS: 
These Texas grown onion plants are so easy to 
transplant, so hardy and produce such large, dry 
onions that they are becoming more popular each 
year. Onions weighing up to 2 lbs. are produced 
from Sweet Spanish plants in 8 to 10 weeks. Ship- 
ment can be made soon after April 15th through 
May 15th depending on the weather in Texas and 
how’ soon the plants are ready. Please designate 
on your order approximately when you would like 
to have us make shipment. Onion plants are sold 
on the basis of bunches rather than count. The 
bunches are approximately the same size but may 
run from 50 to 110 plants per bunch depending on 
the size of the plants. We cannot, therefore, 
guarantee the number of plants in a bunch. Dust 
with DDT for control of onion thrip. (See page 36). 
Per bunch 45 cts.; 5 bunches $1.60; 10 bunches 
$3.00, prepaid; crate (approximately 6,000

ONION SETS 
1 lb. will set 75 to 100 ft. row 
12 to 20 bushels will set 1 acre 
*x EBENEZER SETS: These sets are small onions less 
than 34 inch in diameter. When set in rows they 
produce green onions or if allowed to develop will 
form medium sized cooking onions. We suggest 
that sets be placed close together in the row and thin- 
ned as they develop. Those pulled in thinning may 
be used as green onions. Dust with DDT for onion 
thrip. Lb. 40cts.; 2 lbs. 70 cts.; pk. (8 lbs.) $1.75, 
prepaid; Bu. (32 lbs.) $3.50; 10 bu. or more $3.00
