ONION 



No. 55. Riverside Sweet Spanish 



A privately grown stock of marked superiority 



Days to maturity, 115. This increasingly popular Onion was developed by Aggeler & Musser 

 in Riverside County, California, about 1926. It is a development of Sweet Spanish which undoubtedly 

 is the same thing as Vilmorin's Giant Spanish, or Gibraltar, now indistinguishable from Valencia or 

 Denia. The Riverside strain is recognized as being superior in flavor and yield, being unusually 

 mild, and it has been known to produce crops of more than 50,000 pounds per acre. This Onion is 

 practically the size of an orange; the color of the skin is a deep amber-orange, and the flesh is almost 

 white. It has proved to be a very profitable shipping and fall storage Onion. Our stock has been 

 grown privately for us in a high mountain valley of New Mexico, only the most perfect bulbs being 

 chosen for the crop. In our entire experience we have never seen a more beautiful lot of bulbs. As 

 compared to the original Spanish types, this Riverside stock will prove to be a much better keeper, 

 having been selected primarily for that quality. 



Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; y 4 lb. $1.20; lb. $4; 5 lbs. or over, $3.75 per lb. 



No. 56. Mountain Danvers 



A very early -maturing , long-keeping Onion of the Yellow Danvers type 



Days to maturity, 100. We first offered Mountain Danvers to our trade in 1927. Since its intro- 

 duction it has made a great deal of money for our customers. It is a selection of the Yellow Globe 

 Danvers Onions which has been carried on for several seasons in a high mountain valley on the 

 western slope of Colorado at an elevation of 5000 feet. The fact that it will mature hard, uniform 

 bulbs 10 days ahead of Yellow Globe Danvers is of outstanding importance to those who have at 

 times lost part of a crop in a short season. The factor of earliness has been achieved through constant 

 selection in a high altitude. Our strain shows a high type and color purity. 



Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; l/ 4 lb. 60 cts.; lb. $2; 5 lbs. or over, $1.75 per lb.
