Sweet Spanish (Riverside)—Produces very large onions, 
in fact one of the largest, very mild. Light yellow color. 
Extra heavy yielder. 
Red Wethersfield—One of the oldest and best known types 
of onion. Very productive.

ure or fertilizer will suffice. 5 to 6 lbs. of seed required to 
the acre.

onion. Flesh white with slight yellow tone, crisp and mild

An excellent keeper.

pure white delicate skin. Usually commands highest mar¬ 
ket prices.

keeper. It ripens up hard and firm and has a mild deli¬ 
cate flavor.
