Asgrow Seeds are Well-bred 
ONION 
The onion is a heavy feeder and, for well-shaped, fully developed bulbs, demands a rich and finely 
worked soil. It is a hardy plant and seed may be sown early in rows 15” apart. Thin out the seedlings 
to 3” -4” and, cultivate frequently to keep down weeds. 
* Crystal Wax (sometimes called White Ber¬ 
muda): 93 days. An early variety popular in 
the South for shipment to northern markets. 
Attractive bulbs of medium size, flat, clear white 
and of mild flavor. 
Early Yellow Globe: 98 days. The earliest yel¬ 
low globe, yet productive and a good keeper. 
Earliness minimizes thrips’ damage. 
*Babosa: 90 days. A distinctive variety for fall 
seeding in California and Texas. Large bulbs 
with white flesh of mild and pleasing flavor. 
Highly desirable for early markets.

tensively in the South for shipping. Resembles

riety for winter growing. Bulbs are flattened- 
globe in shape, firm and of distinctive flavor.

onion; globular, strong.

white main crop onion. Large, round bulbs of

days. A hardy late sort, valued because of its 
superior keeping qualities. Globe-shaped and 
solid; creamy white flesh, fine-grained and of 
mild flavor.

popular and serviceable variety. Medium sized, 
thick-flat bulbs; firm and white. A dependable 
cropper and keeper. May be planted late to get 
pickles in fall.

the white onions; similar to Yellow Spanish ex¬ 
cept in color of skin, but not quite as good a 
keeper.

muda): Similar to Crystal Wax but with straw- 
colored skin and nearly white flesh. 
Yellow Globe Danvers: 112 days. Deservedly 
popular. Hardy and reliable. Medium large
