Onion Plants 
Sweet Spanish 
Both for early use and for large dry bulbs in late summer, many of our customers find these 
plants the best way to grow fine Onions. Planted in early spring, they mature in 10 to 12 
weeks and will grow in any good garden soil. We offer only Yellow Sweet Spanish, which 
produce large, handsome Onions of mild flavor, and may be stored for some time. Space the 
plants 3 to 4 inches in rows 14 to 18 inches apart. 
These are Texas-grown Onion plants and we are dependent on the season there for time of 
delivery, size of plants, etc. They are pulled by the bunch from the fields and are not counted 
so there may be anywhere from 50 to 110 plants or more per bunch, depending on the size. 
We cannot ship less than two bunches to a customer and suggest you combine orders with 
your neighbors wherever possible. 
2 bunches $1.00; 5 bunches $1.95; 10 bunches $3.25, postpaid. 
Not prepaid: full crate (60 bunches) $9.50. 
Write for prices on full crates or more for direct shipment from our Texas grower. 
SHIPPING ONION PLANTS 
Onion plants may be shipped only east of the Mississippi River and north of Virginia. They 
are usually ready the last part of April or first of May and we will ship all orders at that time, 
except those clearly marked for late shipment. Not available after May 15th. 
If your land should not be ready at the time your plants arrive, they can be held for some 
time by spreading them out in a cool, dry place, or by heeling them in outdoors.
