The popularity of the Sweet Spanish 
Onions is due entirely to their mild, 
sweet flavor. Many people who or- 
dinarily cannot eat onions, relish the Sweet Spanish 
types. They are ideal for the delectable French-fried 
onions. For best results, start the seed in a cold frame 
and transplant the seedlings when ground is ready. 
Henderson's Two Popular 
Sweet Spanish Varieties 
612 ESPANOLA 
The Handsomest and Mildest Large Onion 
in the World 
Spanish Onions may be grown in any locality 
where onions will grow, but ideal conditions for 
their best development are found in locations 
having a warm, long season, deep, rich, well-tilled 
soil, and ah available water supply in case of 
drought. Under such conditions great crops of 
ideal Spanish Onions are produced; bulbs that 
will measure 4 to 6 % inches in diameter, and 
weigh up to 2yi lbs. each, equal in every respect 
to the imported onions. 
When transplanting the seedlings see that they 
are placed 6 inches apart to give the long roots 
ample feeding ground and encourage rapidity of 
growth. 
An experienced onion grower gives this brief 
description of Espanola: "Bulbs extremely large, 
almost globular in shape; neck and root disc, 
small and fine; skin light yellow; interior fine- 
grained, and flavor miW; foliage distinctive, 
a deep green with glossy surface rendering 
Espanola practically immune from fungoid 
diseases."

610 BARCELONA 
A Spanish, Keeping; Onion, Sparkling White, Mild Flavor 
We have named this novelty Barcelona because it is a selection 
obtained from our famous onion, Espanola. although it is pure 
silvery-white in color, instead of pale golden-yellow, like its parent. 
It is also more of a true globe shape. The outer skin is silver- 
white and the inside is sparkling white, of fine texture, mild flavor 
and delicate tenderness. 
In sections where there is a long, warm season and on soil that 
is well tilled and rich, Barcelona will attain almost as large a 
size as its parent Espanola. 
The Espanola and Barcelona onions are very popular; are in 
all respects equal to the imported. They also keep fairly well 
for winter use but not quite equal in keeping qualities to the 
Southport Globes or Danvers.

613 PRIZETAKER 
Magnificent in Size — Delightfully Mild in Flavor- — A Match- 
less Keeper — Succeeds in All Sections of the U. S. 
Prizetaker is at once the largest and most handsome of all Amer- 
ican Onions, and is renowned everywhere. 
It is so well-bred that the tops dry down entirely when it 
ripens, leaving a clean, sound bulb, perfect in form, rich in color 
and wonderfully solid. The outer skin is rather pale yellow, the 
flesh pure white throughout. It is extremely mild in flavor, very 
much esteemed for slicing, baking and boiling; in fact, in what- 
ever way it is prepared it is unsurpassed.

607 HARDY BUNCHING 
An excellent "scallion" variety for spring or fall sowing, hardy 
enough to winter in the open ground. Seed sown in July or August 
will produce scallions the following spring, earlier even than they 
could be grown from onion sets. The plants will not form bulbs, 
but they produce long, smooth, pure white stems of perfect 
flavor and tenderness.

623 LARGE RED WETHERSFIELD 
This is a general favorite everywhere, and is largely grown both for 
market and private use. It shapes up very quickly, insuring a good 
supply during the growing season, while its keeping quality is 
equal to the best. The exterior color is dark, glossy red, and 
the flesh is faintly tinged with the same color. 
Price, pkt., 15c; oz., $1.00; % lb., $3.00. 
629 YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS 
There is a considerable variation in the shape of this variety — 
shapes that vary from flat to deep oval. We have consistently 
adhered to the original type, which, but for a slight depression 
from top to bottom, is a perfect sphere. The matter of tops has 
had close attention, and are so bred that at maturity they dis- 
appear entirely, leaving the bulbs quite without neck, clean, solid 
and good throughout.
