LETTUCE 
Lettuce is the nation's most popular vegetable for salads, and will grow in practically 
any good soil. The seed should be planted as soon as the soil can be worked in the 
spring, using a quarter ounce to the 100 feet of row. This thin planting of seed should 
be covered with one-half inch of fine soil. Since lettuce grows best during the cool 
seasons of the year, plantings should be made accordingly, or the plants can be 
started in hotbeds and set outdoors as early as weather permits.

ONION 
Sweet Spanish 
This Sweet Spanish is one of the best onion varieties because of its mildness, 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 
keeping 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 |8-inch rows and about an inch 
apart in the row, covered with one 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 windrows for a day or two. When put 
in storage, keep dry and at a uniform tem- 
perature just above 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.
