Code to Bulbs 
KEYSTONE YELLOW SWEET SPANISH No. 6 OREAP 112 
Originally developed by Prof. A. M. Binkley of the Colorado Experiment Station and 
since maintained to its fine qualities by our own staff. Unquestionably the finest Sweet 
Spanish for growers and shippers. Produces tremendous tonnage of U. S. No. I per 
acre and stores over entire winter with a remarkably low shrinkage. A vigorous grower 
and overcomes thrip damage. 
BULBS—Large, perfect globe shape, small neck curves down excellently, with heavy 
protecting deep yellowish-brown skin. Flesh, white; fine grained; mild 
pleasing flavor. 
WHITE LISBON OVATE 95 
A white sort generally used for early bunching onions. 
BULBS—Medium sized, round shaped, with a thick neck; flesh, white, fairly firm, of 
fair quality; skin, white in color. 
WHITE PORTUGAL or Silverskin OMBER 100 
The all-purpose white onion. A standard variety which is the main white set producer, 
serves for storage and shipping, excellent for pickles, boiling, or for green bunching. 
Early in maturity and a hardy, reliable type. 
BULBS—Medium sized and thick flat; flesh, firm, white, fine grained, mild, pleasant 
flavor; skin, silvery white in color. 
WHITE SWEET SPANISH (Special Shipper) ORAIN 112 
Our new strain of this fulfills the demand of the large grower and shipper for a white 
Sweet Spanish onion that grows the fine large bulbs, stores over long period, and yields 
along with the regular yellow Sweet Spanish. This is truly an outstanding strain. 
BULBS—Large, very uniform globe shape, attractive pure white; small necks that cure 
down excellently for storage; flesh, white; fine grained; of fine quality and 
mild flavor. 
YELLOW GIANT PRIZETAKER (Denia) OPERA 108 
A large type, yellow sort that was one of the principal American varieties. Most 
popular in the South as an early shipping variety. Not as good a storage bulb as the 
Sweet Spanish which is now rapidly replacing it. 
BULBS—Large globe shaped; flesh, white, fairly firm, coarse textured, mild and sweet 
flavored; skin, thin, glossy, and of straw color. 
BERMUDA ONION 
NOTE—To avoid confusion and delay when ordering; if the Bermuda with the straw colored 
skin is wanted order under the name of "Yellow Bermuda." If the pure white skin variety is wanted 
order under the name of "Crystal Wax." See next page for varietal description.
