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 

 although a little later than the standard globe-shaped 

 varieties, is so vigorous and hardy that it withstands un- 

 favorable 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.

 give the best possible atten- 

 ion to his onion crop this

 materially in preventing 

 trouble. If thrips moke their 

 appearance, spray at once
