2. Large Straw-coloured (Vilmorin). 
Synonym. — Yellow Flat (Hovey & Co.) 
This is only to be distinguished from the White Spanish by the 
darker colouring of the outer skins. 
* Yellow Lescure (Vilmorin) ; Yellow Camhrai (Vilmorin). 
These were considered very spurious stocks of the Large Straw- 
coloured. 
3. White Glole, 
Plant of free growth, forming in general a small neck ; ripens 
off early and well. The bulbs are of medium size, from 9 to 10 
inches in circumference, and about 2f inches in depth. The shape 
is somewhat globular or obovate, with a finely rounded high crown. 
The skin is pale straw like the White Spanish, and it is, indeed, 
similar to that variety in every other respect but its more globular 
form. It is an excellent keeping sort, and much esteemed.

depth. The shape is obovate, the base somewhat broad and flat, 
whilst the top tapers more to the stalk or neck. The skin is pale 
straw, and peels off readily like the White Spanish. The flesh is 
pale and rather soft in texture, but of mild and excellent quality. 
This is a very large and handsome Onion for early autumn use. 
It does not keep well, and generally begins to shoot before Christ- 
mas. It bears a close resemblance to the imported Spanish 
Onions. 
5. Yellow Danvers (Hovey & Co. ; Vilmorin et Cie. ; Carter & Co.) 
Synonym. — Danvers Yellow. 
This is a very fine and distinct Onion. The plant is of free 
growth, the top slender, of a rather pale green colour, and with a 
very fine slender neck, so that it ripens off well. The bulbs arc of
