ONION PLANTS 
For very early onions and localities where the 
season is short and onions cannot be grown from 
field planted seed, but they can be produced from 
plants. The onion plants offered below are field 
grown in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. We 
endeavor through frequent shipments to keep them 
as fresh as possible.
