Yellow Sweet Spanish Onion 
(UTAH STRAIN) 
UTAH STRAIN SEED 
This strain of Yellow Sweet Spanish Onion was originated in Utah; seeing its 
merits, Pieters-Wheeler, an established seed growing firm in Northern California, 
whom we feel are one of the leaders in careful selection of the type of bulbs neces¬ 
sary to produce the quality of seed we are glad to ship and recommend to our 
customers, have for the past several seasons made further developments through 
selection and breeding and is now one of the outstanding Yellow Sweet Spanish 
Strains. Is a very large globe shape, four and five heavy golden brown outside 
skins and white flesh, being one of the mildest onions known today. Thousands of 
acres of this variety are grown in the Western states each season and shipped from 
coast to coast. When properly and thoroughly cured, is a good keeper and a splendid 
shipper. Many growers report a yield of 1000 up to 1400 crates per acre, the average 
weight per crate being from 42 to 44 pounds. An average of two and one-half 
pounds of seed are planted per acre. A trial of this strain Valencia Onion Seed will 
be convincing.
