Sweet Spanish or Improved 
Valencia Onion (. Riverside Strain ) 
T HIS is the largest, handsomest, and mildest onion known today. The American 
Strain was developed by a large onion grower at Riverside, California, and is 
now superior to the original strain that has been shipped to this country in large 
quantities from Spain for several years. Thousands of acres of the Sweet Spanish 
are grown in the Western states, and shipped from coast to coast. From the present 
outlook, it is fast becoming more popular than the famous Bermuda Onions, which 
can only be grown successfully in a warm climate. 
It is a large globe-shaped, brownish-yellow onion, often weighing from one to 
three pounds. The flesh is white, fine-grained, mild, and sweet, yet retains the 
onion flavor. It may be eaten like an apple. 
When properly and thoroughly cured, it is a good keeper, and a splendid shipper. 
It has been known to yield over 1,500 bushels per acre. To grow the larger sizes, they 
should be thinned to at least four inches between the plants. It takes from 2 to 3 
pounds of seed to plant an'acre.
