Y2 oz. to 50-foot row; 4 to 5 lbs. to acre. 
Culture—Onions are subject to variations by cultivation and soil conditions. Rich soil with too 
much irrigation will produce thick necked scallions and oftentimes doubles and splits, while 
the same soil well drained would produce the finest onions. A well-fertilized sandy soil is best. 
Onions are hardy and will grow reasonably well in most soils. In southern California seed 
is planted in September for early spring onions and from November to March for later crops. 
The early varieties mature in about 125 days and the later varieties about 140 days. Seed is 
sometimes sown directly in the field and thinned, however we advise sowing in seed beds 
and transplanting. This allows for better selection of plants and crops mature more evenly. 

Under the transplanting method 2 lb. of seed is sufficient to raise plants for 1 acre. 
The young plants are ready for transplanting when 6 weeks to 2 months old. Trim the tops 
to the center blade and the roots to ¥2 to 1 inch. Double row planting is recommended where 
weeds are few. The rows on the ridges should be spaced 8 to 10 inches apart. Always irrigate 
to avoid flooding, which would cause the onions to rot. 
292 White Sweet Spanish—Similar to the fa- 
mous Riverside Sweet Spanish in flavor, uni- 
formity, and mildness. There is also little dif- 
ference in the size, shape, or yield. Is a good

lar, with golden yellow skins, white flesh, 
very mild, with a pleasing flavor. Pkt. 10c; oz.
