 duce long, smooth, pure white stems. It is very hardy, vigorous, fast 

 growing, and can be planted either in the spring or fall. This variety 

 will produce a good crop of "bunch" onions earlier than other varieties.

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.

 tion to his onion crop this 

 year. Forestall insects and 

 disease by keeping the soil 

 in a high state of fertility 

 to promote vigorous growth. 

 Clean cultivation during pe- 

 riods when there is no rain 

 or dew on the plants will aid 

 materially in preventing 

 trouble. If thrips make their 

 appearance, spray at once 

 with Tartar Emetic solution 

 or Rotenone if available.
