ferent quality may be so unequal in the 
quantity of marketable onions that it would 
be more profitable to use the good seed,

which seed is sown and the superior bulbs 
it produces recommend it for general use.

The standard red globe onion all over the country. Perfectly globe shaped, about 3 in. in 
diameter with small neck. Skin rich, dark, glossy red; flesh white with tinge of purple; fine 
grained. A good keeper and exceptionally heavy yielder.
