Onion 

The Rocky Ford district is one of the important onion producing sections of the 
U. S. Because of the importance of onions to this section, great care and attention is 
given to the strain of seed used. Fully 80% of the seed planted here is from this strain. 
Onions from our seed will average 22 to 3 inches in diameter, with many measuring 4 
to 5 inches. Usual expectations here are for 1000 to 1500 crates to the acre. Our crates 
weight 42 to 45 Ibs. each. We plant in drills and use from 2 to 22 pounds of seed 
per acre. 
Our seed bulbs are selected for uniform size, color and keeping ability. Many of the 
onions raised here go into storage in September and are not taken out until April. They 
must be good keepers to hold that long. 
UTAH—YELLOW SWEET SPANISH—110 days. The bulbs are large and globe shaped, 
having 4 or 5 heavy golden-brown outside skins. The flesh is white and of a mild pleas- 
ant flavor. The superiority of our strain is its deep color, excellent keeping ability, thick 
skin, uniformity and trueness to type. Top growth is very vigorous and more resistant 
to thrip than most other strains.

WHITE SWEET SPANISH IMPROVED—112 days. Our new strain of this variety fills 
the demand from the large grower and shipper for a white Sweet Spanish onion that 
grows fine large bulbs, stores well and yields along with the regular Yellow Sweet 
Spanish. This is truly an outstanding strain. The bulbs are large, very uniform globe 
shape, attractive pure white color; small neck that will cure down well for storage; 
flesh white, fine grained, of excellent quality and a mild flavor.
