ONION PLANTS 
SWEET SPANISH—Utah Strain 
An Easy Way to Raise Large Sweet Onions 
These onion plants which are raised in Texas, have proved excellent 
for raising both early green onions and dry bulbs for late summer use. 
When set out in the early spring, large handsome onions are produced 
within 10 to 12 weeks with very little work. These onions will grow in 
any good garden soil and will keep a long time. Set the plants 3 to 4 inches 
apart in rows 14 to 18 inches apart. 
Our strain of yellow Sweet Spanish is the only satisfactory kind to grow 
and we do not offer any other kind. 
Please Note: We offer onion plants by the bunch only. These plants 
are grown in Texas and are pulled by the handful, each handful being 
called a bunch. The number of plants in a bunch usually runs between 50 
and 110 depending largely on the size of the plants. The count varies a 
great deal and we cannot specify the number of plants in a bunch. 
Price: Single bunch 50c; 2 bunches 90c; 5 bunches $1.75; 10 bunches 
$3.00 transportation paid. Not paid: full crate (60 bunches) $9.50. 
Onion plants may be shipped only east of the Mississippi River and 
north of Virginia. 
SHIPPING ONION PLANTS: Our onion plants now come from 
Texas in a refrigerated express car, keeping them in almost perfect con- 
dition. Orders are shipped as soon as the plants arrive, starting about 
April 20 and continuing until May 15th. If you will indicate the approx- 
imate date you would like the plants, we will ship them as near that time 
as possible. If your land should not be ready, they can be held for quite 
a while by spreading them out in a coo} place. 



Sweet Spanish Onion Plants 
With these, it’s easy to grow the most excellent onions, 
PARSNIPS 
A packet of seed will sow about 25 feet of row; an ounce 150 feet. 
This fine vegetable should be in every home garden. A few rows will 
supply the needs of a family. The roots can be dug and stored in a pit 
outdoors or in moist dirt in a cool cellar and will supply a welcome addi- 
tion to the winter vegetables. Should be left in the ground until they are 
frozen. Try some ‘‘French fried”’ parsnips, they are delicious. Sow seed 
in May in rows 2 feet apart in finely pulverized soil and cover the seed 
not more than 1% in. deep. Thin the plants to 4 inches apart. 
640 HARRIS’ MODEL. hhieg Smoothest and Whitest Pars- 
. These parsnips are medium length, 
very smooth, and remarkably fa from small roots or prongs. Harris’ 
Model has a well-deserved reputation for being whiter than any other 
parsnips. This and their smoothness make them very attractive for 
the home garden and more saleable in the market. Our seed is carefully 
grown from selected transplanted roots on our own farm. You will 
find these very superior parsnips.

Ebenezer Onions—Grown from Sets 
These make delicious early “beilers’’ or fine dry onions for winter. 
ONION SETS 
1 Ib. will set 75 to 100 feet of row, depending upon the size of the sets. 
It is very easy to raise onions from sets and they should be grown in 
every garden. If the sets are planted early in the spring, nice green onions 
can be pulled in a few weeks. The onions grow large enough to cook about 
the first of July in this latitude. Two or three weeks later they become 
large, ripe onions which can be kept through the winter if desired. The 
sets should be planted about 2 inches apart and covered an inch deep. 
For economical use of ground in the small garden it is a good plan to 
plant the sets about one inch apart in rows. Pull every other one for green 
onions in the spring and leave the rest for boiling onions. This will give 
you a continuous supply throughout the summer. 
EBENEZER SETS. Yellow. These sets will not only produce fine 
bunching onions but also large yellow onions 
of the finest quality. The quality of the onions is far superior to ordi- 
nary yellow sets and the yield is also larger. See page 26 for full descrip- 
tion of this variety. We are pleased to offer fine even sets. 
1 Lb. 45c; 2 Lbs. 80c; Peck (8 Lbs.) $2.40 postpaid. Not prepaid: 
Bu. (32 Lbs.) $5.60; 2 Bu. $10.80. 
WHITE SETS. (White Portugal or Silverskin.) Used mostly to 
produce early bunching onions. These also make nice 
looking and fine flavored onions to eat while young or will produce good 
large onions for fall. See description of this variety on page 26. These 
are beautiful sets, clean, uniform and true Silverskin. 
1 Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 90c; Peck (8 Lbs.) $2.50 Postpaid. Not prepaid:

SHIPPING ONION SETS: Our onion sets are stored under just the 
right conditions until about the last of February. Order them along with 
your seeds and we will ship as soon as they come out of storage, or when 
danger of freezing is past, usually some time in March.
