*xXUTAH SWEET SPANISH ONION 
PLANTS: These Texas grown onion plants 
are so easy to transplant, so hardy and pro- 
duce such large, dry onions that they are be- 
coming more popular each year. Onions 
weighing up to 2 lbs. are produced from 
Sweet Spanish plants in 8 to 10 weeks. Ship- 
ment can be made soon after April 15th 
through May 15th depending on the weath- 
er in Texas and how soon the plants are 
ready. Please designate on your order ap- 
proximately when you would like to have 
us make shipment. Onion plants are sold 
on the basis of bunches rather than count. 
The bunches are approximately the same 
size but may run from 50 to 110 plants per 
bunch depending on the size of the plants. 
We cannot, therefore, guarantee the num- 
ber of plants in a bunch. Dust with DDT 
for control of onion thrip. (See page 35). 
Per bunch 55¢; 5 bunches $1.90; 10 bunches 
$3.50, prepaid. Crate (approximately 6000 
plants) $9.50, not prepaid. Weight about 
30 Ibs. per crate.
