Easy to plant. Easy to grow. And they make tremendous 
yields of big, mild, sweet onions. 
Once you’ve seen and eaten fine big onions grown from plants, 
you'll always plant them. Light frosts and freezes, even a light 
snow, won’t hurt them. So, you can put them out extra early to 
get a full growing season. Plant them about 114 inches apart. 
The first time you thin them out for “green” onions. The next 
thinning for stewed onions. Then, let the rest go on to make you 
plenty for fall and winter use. We have the two best-by-test vari- 
eties: WHITE BERMUDA, the mildest you’ve ever eaten, and 
YELLOW SWEET SPANISH, a wonderfully mild onion that 
keeps for months! Both must be planted early if you want the 
most and best for your money. So, order early. We’ll ship at the 
right time.
