SWEET SPANISH^RIVERSIDE 



Days to maturity, 115. This excellent Riverside strain of Sweet Spanish has 

 made a lot of money for our customers in the past two seasons. It is a superlative 

 development of the well-known Spanish variety, Gigantic Gibraltar, and is very 

 similar to Valencia and Denia. We take special pride in this strain of Sweet 

 Spanish because of its beautiful appearance, its uniform globe shape (the flat 

 tendency has been eliminated) because of its bright golden color. We have found 

 that many strains of the competition are much darker and flatter. 



The Sweet Spanish onion is now grown over large areas in the Southwest and 

 is recommended for more general use. It is one of the most attractive onions on 

 the market and has an extremely mild flavor. Its shipping and keeping qualities 

 make it a great favorite in commercial centers. It will ripen down very evenly. 

 Yields have been reported as high as 50 tons per acre. 



Our Riverside Strain of Sweet 

 Spanish is a pure globe onion of 

 brilliant golden color 



EARLY WHITE BARLETTA 



Days to maturity, 65. We are selling increasingly large quantities of tinis fine 

 strain of pickling onion, and customers can depend on the purity of our stock. Early 

 White Barletta is the favorite early variety for pickling purposes, developing in 

 about two months' time Onions from 1 to 1^ inches in diameter, flattened at the 

 top and rounded at the bottom. The color is an attractive wax white, and it is a 

 good keeper. We import this stock directly from Italy and can recommend it as 

 being a superior strain.
