This is a selection from our famous Espanola, and is the

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 

 little 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.

EBENEZER. This well known variety is largely used for 

 producing sets noted for their keeping quality. When 

 planted in the spring, they produce an early crop of mature 

 bulbs which are medium large, deep, flat in shape, with 

 firm, solid, dark yellow heavy skin, and possess excellent 

 keeping qualities.

JAPANESE BUNCHING. Strictly a bunching variety. The plants 

 will not form bulbs but produce long, smooth, pure white stems. 

 It is very hardy, vigorous, fast growing, and can be planted either 

 in the spring or fall. Japanese Bunching will produce a good 

 crop of "bunch" onions earlier than other varieties.

WHITE BUNCH. Our strain of this popular bunching variety is 

 used in large quantities by the most critical growers, because of 

 its dependability and all around uniformity. The bulbs when 

 matured are somewhat globe-shaped, medium large, and clear 

 white in color.

 flavor.
