Salzer’s Giant 
Silver King 
YELLOW SWEET SPANISH ONION 
Here is a grand, entirely distinct onion that has been giving a 
profit of from $200.00 to $300.00 more per acre than is possible 
with other onions. Salzer’s Sweet Spanish is so mild and sweet 
that it is delicious when eaten like an apple. 
It is one of the largest and one of the best all around onions 
ever produced. It is a fine, attractive, light yellow color. It is 
a dandy shipper. It is of a handsome, large, globular shape, 
and the sparkling ilesh is pure, clear white, tender, and re¬ 
markably sweet and luscious. At Cliffwood Farms we picked, 
up a few of these onions at random and placed them side by 
side on a yardstick. It took just seven to measure 36 inches, 
and they weighed 16% pounds. Once tasted, always grown. 
Mr. N. S. Nelson, Haley, N. D., writes, “Last year I planted your 
Yellow Sweet Spanish Onion, and they were fine.” Mrs. Idella 
Wood, R. D. 1, Cottage Grove, Tenn., writes, “From one oz. of your 
Yellow Sweet Spanish, I raised 9 bushels of the finest onions we 
ever had.” Mrs. Ella M. Street, R. D. 2, Sturgeon Lake, Minn., 
writes, “Your Yellow Sweet Spanish Onions are extra fine and are 
great keepers.” Mr. Gardener, for an all around, superb onion, 
you can’t go wrong on Salzer’s Yellow Sweet Spanish!

Yellow Sweet

Onion 
Salzer’s Giant Silver King Onion is ideal 
for exhibition, fancy market or for the home 
table. We have grown specimens at Cliff- 
wood Farms, 22 inches in circumference 
instead of 21 inches as shown in the illus¬ 
tration, and weighing 4 pounds. Matures 
early and is uniformly large and of fine 
shape, flattish round and thick. The silvery 
white skin is very thin and the fine grained, 
white flesh is of such mild and deliciously 
sweet flavor that it can be eaten raw like an 
apple. Fully grown, they measure five to 
seven inches in diameter; they mature 
evenly and keep well in storage. No other 
white onion attains such mammoth size, nor 
will any other white variety grow so uni¬ 
formly large. 
Mr. Lenny Archer-Burton, Fairmount, 
Minn., writes, “Your Giant Silver King 
Onion Seed last year was wonderful.” Mrs. 
Martin Glodowski, R. D. 2, Box 114, Am¬ 
herst, Wis., writes, “I never grew such nice 
large onions as from your Giant Silver 
King.” Mr. Peter Tillman, Head, Mont., 
writes, “I raised the largest onions from 
your Giant Silver King, that I ever saw.” 
Salzer’s Giant Silver King is enormously 
productive and every one desiring the larg¬ 
est and handsomest white onions of the 
finest flavor will be more than satisfied with 
this superb strain. Matures in 110 days. 742—*
