FROSTPROOF CABBAGE PLANTS 
WARDS ONION PLANTS ARE BETTER 
Wards Onion Plants are better in 4 ways. (1) 
Plants can be set out as early as cabbage. (2) 
They provide green bunch onions 2 to 6 weeks 
earlier. (3) Mature onions are usually large and 
keep better than those grown from sets. (4) 
Much easier to handle than growing onions 
from seed. Thrive in any good garden soil, 
but are best if soil is moist and enriched by 
fertilizer. Plant 2 to 3 in. apart in rows 12 to 15 
in. apart if you expect to cultivate by hand.

than hotbed plants. Tops may not grow at first, 
but roots will become established and plants will 
make rapid growth that will start heads forming 
2 to 3 weeks earlier. Grow well in any good, 
well-drained soil. Plant early varieties 14 in.

ping. Easy to grow with Wards Texas field-grown 
plants. Big, sturdy root systems produce healthy, pro- 
ductive plants in any ordinary soil. Plant 4 ft. apart if

sweet potatoes. They do best in light, well-drained sandy loam 
that is not too rich, but they will grow in a wide range of soils. 
Will stand plenty of heat. Set plants 15 inches apart in rows 30 
inches apart after all danger of frost has passed. In harvesting, 
tubers should be carefully pulled from the vine and packed in 
boxes in a warm, dry, well ventilated place for winter storage.
