ESPANOLA, YELLOW SWEET SPANISH. 



This outstanding large mild variety will under favorable 

 conditions produce bulbs 5 inches or more in diameter, and 

 equal in every respect to the fine flavored imported onions. 

 Espanola produces heavy yields, and is suitable for both 

 muck and upland soils. It is a good keeper, and although a 

 tittle later than the standard globe-shaped varieties, is so 

 vigorous and hardy that it withstands unfavorable growing 

 conditions better than other types. The bulbs are globular in 

 shape, and well covered with a light coppery yellow skin. 

 The flesh is waxy white, solid, tender, and of mild delicate 

 flavor.
