The best stock of this seed is grown in Teneriffe, Canary 
Islands. We import our seed direct from the best growers 
in Teneriffe, making our contracts before the bulbs are 
planted. Seed sown in the fall will produce early onions 
in spring; in Southern Texas sow in September and 
October; Middle and Northern Texas, we think it best 
to sow in February, for large onions by July.

These plants are rapid growers, will give you green onions within 
a couple of weeks of good growing weather. If left in the soil to 
mature will produce an extra large flat onion, the mildest and 
sweetest variety of the onion family. 
Onions produced from plants are 
usually free from the “hollow center” 
that usually shows in a matured 
onion produced from a set. These 
plants are very slow to run to seed, 
overcoming another fault of an onion 
grown from the set.
