CULTURE. — One oz. for 100 feet of drill; five to six lbs. in drills for an acre. For an early crop seed may be 

 sown in cold-frames in February or March, transplanting when large enough to handle in April or May. Regular 

 open-ground sowing should be made about the latter part of April or early May in latitude of- New York, in soil that 

 has been manured the pervious year. Sow about one-half inch deep in rows one foot apart, and thin out to three 

 inches apart in the rows. Weeds in the rows should be removed by hand. If ground is liable to be weedy, it is 

 well to sow a little radish with the onion seed — to mark the row.

The Largest, Handsomest and Mildest Onion in the World 



glO Tne increasing demand in- America for these imported Sweet Spanish Onions is due to then- 

 phenomenally large size, handsome appearance, sparkling white flesh of very fine texture, delicate 

 tenderness and extremely mild flavor. It has been demonstrated that as large, as fine, and as merchant- 

 able Spanish Onions can be grown in the United States as in Spain. 



Ideal conditions for their best development are found in locations having a warm long 

 ..„. " r : season, deeD, rich, well-tilled soil, and an available water supply in case of drought. 



Utdjr such conditions great crops of ideal Spanish Onions are produced; 

 bulbs that will measure 4 to 6 % inches in diameter, and weigh up to 

 2 % lbs. each, equal in every respect, to the imported onions. 

 Spanish Onions may be grown in any locality where onions 

 will grow, although under some conditions of soil and clim- 

 ate, they will always attain their Tnarimmn possibility in 

 size, but they may not make big onions more quickly 

 than American varieties. 

 It has been truly remarked that "it takes two 

 Prize takers to make one Espanola." This variety 

 will also surpass others as a summer and fall onion : 

 but it is not a winter keeper. For home consump- 

 tion they may be pulled at any time during 

 growth; and will be found mild and tender 

 for any use. When transplanting the seedlings 

 see that they are placed 6 inches apart to give the 

 long roots ample feeding ground and encourage 

 rapidity of growth. 



An experienced onion grower gives this brief de- 

 scription of Espanola: "Bulbs extremely large, 

 almost globular in shape, neck and root disc small 

 and fine; skintight yellow, interior fine grained, 

 and flavor mild, foliage distinctive, a deep green 

 with glossy .surface rendering Espanola prac- 

 tically immune from fungoid diseases."
