ESPANOLA 



YELLOW SWEET SPANISH 



The handsomest and mildest large onion in the world. 



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 

 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, ten- 

 der, and of mild delicate flavor. Season 105 days.
