ONIONS 
YELLOW SWEET SPANISH 
Salzer’s Sweet Spanish is so mild and sweet that it is de¬ 
licious when eaten like an apple! The best of the very large, 
mild onions; good keeper! 
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. Yellow Sweet Spanish is of a handsome, 
large, globular shape, and tlie sparkling flesh is pure, clear 
white, tender, and remarkably sweet and luscious. At Cliff- 
wood 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 3 6 inches, and they weighed 16% pounds. 
Once tasted, always grown.

YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS 
It is an excellent early variety, quick to mature, and is a 
remarkably good keeper. Yellow Globe Danvers is very pro¬ 
ductive, is mild and full flavored, and has a uniform rounded 
shape, which is almost spherical. It is perhaps the best all 
around onion, and is very highly esteemed by all those who 
grow only one variety. Of a rich, coppery yellow, it reaches 
2 % to 3 inches in size, with coats numerous and closely set. 
Extensively used for general cultivation for home and mar¬ 
ket, Produces medium to large sized bulbs of a uniform 
globe shape that ripen very evenly. Necks ripen down small.

crisp, tender, mild and of fine flavor. Grows well anywhere

MOUNTAIN GLOBE 
YELLOW DANVERS 
This very early strain 
of Salzer’s Yellow Globe 
Danvers Onion was bred 
in the mountains of Colo¬ 
rado. The onions are of 
fine globe shape, deep 
yellow color, very firm, 
and ripen two to three 
weeks earlier than the 
standard strain, and 
hence, are most valuable 
where the seasons are 
short. Good keeper and 
heavy yielder. 766 —PUr..
