ONIONS 
The quality and yield of onions produced in the Pecos Valley is among the best. Sow 
seed in the open in September, transplant in February or March. Or, plant in hotbeds 
in January, transplant in March and April. Or, the seed may be drilled in the open 
fields in February and thinned when the plants reach the size of a pencil. Use 90,000 
to 120,000 plants per acre in double rows. 
Denia (105 days)—An old standby in the Pecos Valley. One of the largest, globe- 
shaped yellow skinned, white fleshed. Very mild and sweet. 
Yellow Valencia (114 days)—-Has proven equal to the Denia. More flat, skin darker, 
also sweet and mild. A very good keeper and shipper. 
In Both Denia and Yellow Sweet Spanish, we offer local grown seed from hand selected 
bulbs... These seed have proven that they will produce the best quality and the highest 
yields in this section. Priced separately on page 15. 
White Valencia (114 days)—The largest of the globular, white varieties. Flesh clear, 
white, firm and mild. Small neck. In some localities does not obtain the desired size. 
Grano (90 days)—Top-shaped, straw-colored skin, white flesh. Good keeper. Extra 
early, good flavor and sweet. Known as Babosa in some sections. 
White Grano—The same size as the Grano except that the skin color is white and in 
some soils it will not obtain as large a size.

will make a very thick neck.
