Cropping and the Standard American Red Onion 
Large bulbs, flattened, but quite thick, with rich, dark, 
purplish skin and pure white flesh of good, mild flavor, aver¬ 
aging about V 2 lb. each, but specimen bulbs of one and even 
two pounds have often been grown from our seed. Salzer’s 
Great Red Wethersfield produces larger crops than any other 
American red onion and these bulbs keep longer in good con¬ 
dition than those of any other sort. It gives its largest yield 
on rich land, but on poor and dry soils it yields better than 
any other so"t. 100 days. Has an exceedingly fine neck, is 
one of the I jSt keeping Onions, always of excellent quality.
