HYBRID 
ONION PLANTS 
Texas Started Plants 
These famous Texas onion plants produce those 
large, mild, sweet onions that are so difficult to 
grow from seed here in the North. Or they can be 
pulled early for the first young green onions on 
your table. If allowed to develop, they reach 
creaming or even slicing size, very quickly. Seed 
is planted for us in Texas during the fall and the 
plants grow during the winter so they are hardy 
and can be lifted and shipped early in spring, for 
Northern planting as soon as ground can be 
worked. Orders accepted subject to crop, and are 
shipped at proper planting time.
